You are old enough to quit school when you have a legal respectable job lined up that pays enough to pay rent or a mortgage, a vehicle payment, all the bills to run a household, for your food and transportation,  for all the stuff your children will need (because there will be children), with some money left over to save in the bank and some to invest in a pension plan and some more to pay health insurance and some more to pay for a vacation now and then ... you get the picture ....

At 16 you can drop out. At times we're a tough group here. You got married, nice to hear some people take responsibility for their actions. Try and finish school by correspondence or whatever, a diploma is still important. All the best.

Your guardian would have to withdraw you from school first.  But, you may need to be at least 16\nPray really hard before you make this life changing decision.

A 17 year old could move away from home if they have their parents’ or legal guardian’s permission, like to go to college. Or, a 17 year old could become legally emancipated and enjoy the same freedoms as any other person who is at least 18 years old. In some states, emancipation is automatic if the 17 year old gets married. It could also be ordered by the courts.

18, unless you successfully petition the state for emancipation.  You must be 16 and have resided in the same county for 6 months in order to petition for emancipation.\n\nBe prepared for an uphill fight.

depends on the situation. I know kids who have emancipated themselves from their parents at the age of 17. As long as you have someone to stay with cps ought to be able to get off of your back. FYI: I'm a Texan too, proud and true!

You don't have to go through twelve years of school. You can quit high school and get a GED. As far as I know, the GED is not offered to people younger than 16. You can take the SAT earlier than that and be admitted to some colleges before you earn a GED. Few teenagers choose this option because they want the benefit of staying with their peer group through the traditional educational process. The traditional educational system is set up to keep children in school until they are old enough to care for themselves so that they don't get in trouble on the streets and so that they won't be out competing with adults in the job market.

The range nationally seems to be from 16 to 21 years of age. A lot depends on the state you are in, requirements for graduation, and how much extra you will do. I know of students who took classes at the community college over the summer between their junior and senior year so they could graduate in December at age 16 and I know students who did not care about their education and were in the 12th grade for their 3rd year at age 21. Most states have a cut off age of 21 where you can not attend public schools any longer (this age is increased to 24 usually if you have a disability.)

I am with Frank, I do not think most teens drop out of school.  Most states have enacted legislation that compells them to stay in school until they are 18.  Additional legislation is being considered to further penalize drop outs, such as taking away their driver's license.\n\nOn the contrary, more teens than ever are finishing school and graduating than ever.  Overall our younger generation are good people who strive to live a good life and the place to start is to finish school.
