Two years ago i was kicked out of las vegas high school for stealing a camera from my photography class (yes, stupid). I was sent to Morris behavior school, and once i was released i soon realized i had become one of those teenagers that wears skinny jeans, swears in every sentence, and smokes weed daily. Not surprisingly i was kicked out of my next school, Chap(this time through no fault of my own believe it or not) and was sent to South Continuation. This school was filled with kids who sell xanax bars out of their scrotums, cursing teachers, molding food, and an atmosphere that felt more like a prison. I tried looking for alternatives like homeschooling but not surprisingly i was told i had to finish my term at South. The school puts forth no effort to educate (this is a school right?) and the only way to get released is to complete an almost endless, repetitive computer program. I feel like word hasn't gotten out on these schools because of the incompetent kids that fail to realize they're being robbed of an education. Can i sue the school district or something?

Have you ever thought about kicking the daily weed habit?

First of all, I don't smoke weed anymore. Do you have any research that proves that smoking marijuana affects intelligence? Please prove me wrong

That was just a little advice, since you used the present tense when you described what you'd become (i.e., "...and smokes weed daily").

Have you graduated yet?

No, I have no idea what to do. I've been thinking about just dropping out so i can get at least my GED. I'm really stressed out about this, I don't want to ruin the rest of my life just because i couldn't finish my junior year.

You already had 2 chances and blew it at regular education.

Finish up your HS education there and learn your lesson.

That's not the point of this post. I understand I might've permanently ****ed up my future, but maybe I want to know what I can do to prevent it from happening to anyone else.

Well first of all, don't call other people names or no one will listen to anything you say.
Don't come here asking for advice and then putting down everyone who responds with something you don't want to hear.

And if you weren't aware of these alternative education settings then you weren't listening very hard when you were in regular education.

Ok, i apologize for calling you an idiot, but you're clearly not contributing anything to this post so stop replying.

You cannot prevent it from happening to anyone else.
They will make their own choices, just like you did.
