You can ask him why. It’s stupid to drop out of school if there’s any way you can stay. And, I am sorry, but we were all teenagers once and teenagers do NOT think logically all the time, because the neural pathways are not fully formed until you are in your early 20s. My guess is that he’s unhappy with the situation at home.

The high school diploma is life’s first major “gate.” The feeling of society–and especially employers–is that if you cannot finish high school, you are pretty much a quitter and won’t ever amount to anything.

If you are in the USA, I can tell you that your boyfriend is already stacking the deck against himself job-wise. Not having a high school diploma becomes a “discriminator” used by employers. Yes, a G.E.D. is better than nothing–but it was really designed for people who really didn’t have the opportunity to finish high school.

I hope your boyfriend stays in school, but there isn’t much you can do except get him to talk about his “reasons” for dropping out. I hope that he reconsiders.

My boyfriend dropped out of school and got his g.e.d. If you really dont want him to do it then sit down and tell him exactly how you feel and that you just want him happy. and if he does go to get his g.e.d support him, he is going to need you. For me i supported my boyfriend and i have never seem him so proud of himself than he was when he got it. But if you really dont want him to do it…tell him how you feel. But if he doesnt anyway…dont take that as ” i dont care what you think” because thats not true…you opinion is probably the most important thats why if he does do it…you need to support him.
