Hey, I'm so fed up with my school, and my family - I'm not looking for attention either, so if you're gonna say that, then hit BACK now, thanks. I turn 17 September 27th. I'm a junior in high school, I live with my mom, Step dad, Step brother, and Step sister. My real dad passed when I was 5, again, not looking for sympathy just thinking that might help with you helping me. My classes are dumb, the kids control it, they will straight up tell the teacher to [bleep] off and the teacher will sit down and shut up. I'm not learning anything. I live in MA if that matters..? Basically, I was considering dropping out and moving out of my house in with a friend in my town who pays rent at an apartment. I know you're saying, haha good luck no job all that.. I don't have a job yet that would be able to afford all of my expenses on my own - rent/food/etc. I'd be paying close to about..300 for rent where I'd be living and probably eating subway for lunch/dinner (don't really eat breakfeast). As far as my future, I want to go to college later, just a small community college for Graphics Design. I can get into a college just like this that's about 40 minutes from my house for a commute with a GED. I was considering just dropping out, moving out and getting my GED, while working full time. Don't just call me stupid and say have fun smoking weed or whatever, I don't need that. As far as my family goes, it's just not good, I'm not going to forget my mom and everything she's done for me, I'd of course stop by, talk to her on the phone, all that probably 3/4 times a week, I just can't stand living there with her rules anymore. Help?
