Hope you decide to go back tomorrow because you're in for a hard life otherwise.

I'm guessing English class was one of the boring ones for you. Well, not everyone needs to go to college; it really depends on what you want to do for a living. But, Dude, 12th grade -- you're pretty close to finishing high school. Why not hang in there a few more months and get your HS diploma? OK, so you said it's boring, but sometimes you just have to endure a bit.

Wouldn't it be better to make up your mind to be the SMARTEST and most SUCCESSFUL student in that school? What a glorious challenge! How awesome would YOU be to be able to do that? All it takes is wanting to do it.

Turn off the tv
Turn off the xBox
Turn off the Cell phone

Think about when you are 30 and you are working at a job you hate because you don't have the education to do better.

There are no second chances at life. think about it.

You need to go back to school and perservere. College is even harder but it will be worth it. You`re only in school for a short time of your life. Yes, right now it seems like forever but in reality, it`s not. Life is about perservering even when you don`t feel like doing something. This is all part of real life, my friend.You think things suck now, not having some kind of degree or certificate in something will make your life even harder. You can`t financially servive on 8 bucks an hour for the rest of your life.

Default I was bored

in HS too and i didn't have many friends. I did a little better once i got my driver's license. I passed the finals and regents thru the skin of my teeth but i did it. I transferred colleges 3 times, dropped out twice, second time i had a job that was good experience but decided if this was going to be life(cruel sadistic bosses, bad pay) I decided i was going to be committed to doing better to get my degree

i did just that. no lying. it's 100% true

sometimes you have to hate your life so much to make you want to change

today i have my own place, a decent job (but it still does not pay enough but i'm still relatively comfortable). I still have my problems, i never married, don't have many friends, but i stuck it through. and you know what, i like you still find a lot of things boring

identify what's really under the boredom, get it out of your way no matter how long it takes, don't listen to people who don't have your priorities in mind (peer pressure and 'friends" are BS IMO) and finish up. you'll be glad you did

Great. So have you decided between working at McDonald's for minimum wage or selling drugs on the streets to make ends meet?
