Personally, I would suggest that you apply to a local community college where your gpa will be accepted.  Then do really well -- maintaining at least a 3.0 gpa or higher-- then transfer to the college of your choice.  Good luck.\n\nAlthough they are doing an awesome job for our country -- I would look into this before committing to the military.  They are dedicated to the service for reasons other than school, you would need to examine if you are that dedicated for all different reasons.

I dropped out this year. My senior year of highschool. And yeah, i am already starting to regret it. It's really hard finding a job, or even getting someone to even look at your applications. But we all learn from our mistakes. and what ever does not kill us will make us stronger. So i feel that there's a reason i dropped out. And things will get better i'm sure. I just have to work more at setting and achieving goals. but i can still do whatever i want, and be what ever i want. as long as i choose to do so. Education is key, as i'm beginning to find out. So i hope you don't make the same mistakes i did. Take care and God bless. JJJ

Now that you are in High School, grades mean a lot more.  You have to ask yourself what do you want to do with your life.  If you have your sights set reasonably high, you'll need good grades in HS in order to even get into college.  It sounds like you've messed up your first year, but you can always spin that to college admissions people as having struggled but then you realized the error of your ways and redoubled your efforts and brought your grades up to something respectable. \n\nPlus, if your Mom was proud of you for behaving, imagine how proud she'll be when you start bringing home C's, B's and even some A's!

I think that someone like you would be the better student, and looked at better than the first.  When colleges look at grades and courses, they want to know that you know what you can handle.  They want good GPAs.  Great grades that keep you in the top of your class will get you into college.  What will help even more is if you went a step above just classes and participated in activities.  A person who just had great grades will not look as good to a college as someone who does well and has involved themselves in other activities, especially volunteering.  If you have that as well, then you are a shoe in.

You are unhappy because you doubt yourself and you are afraid to go to a new school -- it's totally natural, you're just human.  \nEven though you were unhappy at your last school, at least you knew where you stood and what to expect.  You're afraid of the unknown now.\n\nWhat you need to do now is to forget about your old school, and be happy about your new school.  If you are shy then start looking into activities at your new school that you are interested in (yearbook, sports, etc.) where you can make new friends and be happy with what you're doing.  \n\nAlso, please realize that even though adults seem like they don't have these problems, many people have gone through the same thing at your age!  Don't worry, you'll get through it!

Ah kiddo--you just want to take pride in your accomplishment and make your parents proud--that's probably what is bothering you that you're a little disappointed in yourself and think your folks may think less of you. As you got older, other things may have distracted your attention and concentration from school work. You'll be dealing with things like that from now on so it's good that you recognize the situation now--I was much older before I figured it out. So to perhaps reduce the stress, recognize that you did your best (or that you didn't) and that's history now. Next year, if grades are really important to you, keep the focus there. Good luck and have a safe summer!

Dude, that is soooo unfair. I think u should explain to the principal what happened, show her ur scouts badge and everything. If u have good grades that would help a lot, u could show her what a good guy u are and help around the school. Don't u have tests coming up? U could also say that u need to review some stuff for the tests. I hope this helps and everything turns out ok for u dude. Don't worry I am sure u'll be fine.

Go talk to the guidance counselor at the college and enroll.\n\nYou have to take the jump and get back into the academic pool.

Why do you want to do that?  Miss your friends as well your senior year like prom.  Plus there is no good things that come from dropping out of high school.  You will earn less than a high school graduted even with a GED.  Life is harder when you do. If you looked at today's job market, you need a degree to get a good paying job.  And some state and federal jobs require you to have to graducated from high school or a GED.  I would talk to a counseler from your school about this if you can't talk to your parents.  I know if my kid asked me if she or he wanted to drop out.  I would be VERY disapprove of such action.

Go to The King's Academy because if you don't you won't get into a good college and poor study skills will be the least of your worries. Just try to apply yourself and remind yourself that how well you do in high school and college will directly affect the quality of life you will have as an Adult. Good Luck.

Yes, but as they say: "You can't get there from here."\n\nI'm assuming that you have already applied and been rejected. If not, then by all means apply. The worst that can happen is to be turned down. You may be able to get in, but you'll never know if you don't try. \n\nIf you have already applied and been rejected, my advice is to go to a accredited junior college and rack up at least one year of good grades. Then apply again while still attending classes at that junior college. You essentially have to create a track record of good grades to prove yourself. \n\nGet tutoring, make friends with studious kids and study with them, do ALL your homework, and study hard. ANYONE can make top grades if they try hard enough. It's just a question of how bad you want it and whether you will sacrifice enough to  reach your goal.\n\nI also suggest that you pick several other universities and pursue them as well. Despite what some may say, the university you attend is not as important as how hard you work. Good grades from a less than wonderful university is still better than mediocre grades from a top university. And two or three years after you start your career, very few people will even care where you got your degree. Your reputation at work will have a much greater bearing on your career than where you went to school.\n\nThe only people who make a big deal about the university they attended are those who haven't accomplished much after they left it.

Study harder. If that's not the problem then talk to your teacher & try to figure out what to do. They will know best what you need to do to pull up your grade. Oh and tell your parents if you are still in grade school so they don't find out later & get really mad, unless you know you can pull it up or they won't find out. But if you do tell them then approach them with the "I'm really trying & I don't know what else to do" attitude so you'll be less likely to get in trouble!

If he went through a rough patch in high school I would suggest that he go to community college for one year and get straight As in everything. Then try for a better school instead of going straight into something mediocre.

your off to a good track with your volunteer activities.  try to improve your gpa, take the act/sat, and take on more leadership position roles.  go and ask your school counselor, she/he can give you advice. good luck.

Don't take it personally. Unfortunately, everyone gets teased in school in some way, shape or form. I myself don't have good memories of school. Just remember to hold your head up high, do your best in school, go to college and get a great career, so that one day, maybe you'll become a President or CEO of a company and those same kids that made fun of you will be coming to you for a job and you can make them clean toilets. All that teasing will be nothing once you leave high school. Just find yourself a friend or friends that like you for who you are. Again, keep your head up kiddo!

Have you applied to any other college since leaving high school?  It's a longshot because records aren't always kept, but your SAT/ACT scores are probably noted on your HS transcript and if so, they might have a copy in your file at another college if you ever applied to one.\n\nSince it's been so long and your school isn't in existence anymore, I find it hard to believe a college would deny you admission based on a 20 year old score.  Ask the college you are applying to and explain your issues.  Good luck!
