    I didn't mind high school. But if I were to work harder at grade 12 math, and my average were to go up, it would have made a difference I think

    I actually skipped 89 days of school last year. It wasn't because of anyone, but because I hated math, science and english so much. Oh, and accounting too. However, at the tail-end of the school year...I realized that getting subpar marks wouldn't suffice. I thought long and hard for what I want to do in life, and decided college isn't for me. University is. And to achieve my goal, I had to stay for another year to boost my marks significantly..
    ehh...just throwing this out there if you hated the amount of work involved with high school you will be quite in shock once University hits. This is especially the case if you have classes with lab components. Have that can-do attitude like you have right now so that you are ready for the workload because it will not be light.

    I wouldn't go back.
    I still have the chance to go back, and I wouldn't.
    Dropping out was the best choice I've ever made, if I hadn't, I wouldn't have done anything with my life.

    No affence to your comment, but how old are you? And if you are young, You still have a whole life ahead of you.
    My father had grade 6 and was a taxi driver his whole life. Making maybe 1000 a month. Now, go to school, get your education, and you can be making millions a year if your smart enough. Your opinion is your opinion, but honest, it's not a good one. Education is the most important thing IN LIFE, besides fam, etc. So really, if anyone read this & has not finished school yet (like me) GO BACK, (like i am)

Since I can't do that, I'll just make sure I do well in my college classes.

    My father passed away when I was 16, about a year and a half ago now. I quit school too, I had to help care for him. It's tough, But as long as your willing to go back, you've made the greatest decision ever.

    If I could go back to high school I would've taken all AP courses, rather than just the 3 that I took. By doing so I would've stayed with my friends, and not the losers I had to deal with in the normal classes. None of them had respect for anything. Also, I wouldn't have had to pay for as many classes at my university if I had just passed those.

    Still in school, wouldn't change a thing despite failing a few classes in the past.
    Just letting things go in their own direction.
