You can go to a public school, but to keep the peace with your parents, you can have a wise choice in friends. Choose people that you like and your parents wouldn't have a big problem. Don't fall into the influence and you'll be fine. Some people need some problems in their life though, so they can know how to deal with them properly if it happens in the future.

You need to do your homework, and research the requirements. Then you need to research financial aid, scholarships and grants.  \n\nYour first step in the research is to talk to your high school counselor if you are still in school.  If not, instead of using Yahoo answer, search the Internet and request information from the school or schools that interest you.

So that each individual does not have to relearn all the knowledge of humanity in their own lifetime, but rather we may stand on the shoulders of geniuses and accomplish things that we could not alone. We acheive for them, we acheive for ourselves, and we acheive for our children, our future. We go to school so that we may know, not believe, but know that we are not alone.\n\nThat being said, doesn't school bite sometimes?\n\nGood Luck!

21. the same goes for voting, going into the army (unless waivers are granted), driving a motor vehicle, owning a firearm, and so forth. reasons being that todays teens are not cognitively aware enough of their surroundings after being nearly self-raised (remember latch key kids?) in a world of instant gratification. \n\nTeens today need to spend a greater core of their time watching and learning before being exposed to any of the above endeavors.

Order is necessary.  Without order the purpose of schools could not be achieved: education.

Ouch!  Hi MaggieSue!  A person definitely needs an education in order to learn new skills and know how to use them to the benefit of him/herself and others.  I say "Ouch!" because none of my kids (ages 24, 23, 19, 19, 18, 11, and 6) have ever been to school.\n\nHomeschooling is increasing in popularity, and is definitely an educational option for a large number of people.  Does this mean a person doesn't need to "do school?"  Not necessarily.  In homeschooling a parent directs his or her child's learning outside of a traditional school setting.\n\nWhile it is true that a doctor needs an education that is both definable and documentable, it is also true that many people learn skills on-the-job, work in apprenticeships, study on-line, take home study courses, volunteer to gain skills, join the armed services, or read to improve their abilities.\n\nAlthough college is becoming more important, and more skills require licenses and certificates, you may find that your talents lie in areas that don't require formal education.  Opportunities exist in floristry, landscaping, childcare, animal husbandry, farming, home health care, interior design, carpentry, etc.  \n\nIt is a combination of things that should help you decide the direction that you will choose concerning your education.  If finances are a problem, consider work study, scholarships and grants.  Consider some community college classes to help you decide if further education might appeal to you more than you think.\n\nDon't limit your choices.  Expand your options.  You will do well if you follow your dreams and work consistently toward your goals.\n\nGod bless your efforts.

Check out the Teenage Liberation Handbook by Grace Lewennen (sp???) She writes about ways to get a "real education" by not going to school. (Things like doing apprentencships, exploring nature, doing your own projects). \n\nIt's a cool book (one I wish I had read when I was in High School!)

If one does not have a parent or guardian who makes them complete school, you will have many dropouts. Parenting is powerful.

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.
