Yea - weren't necessarily talking about you (although clearly I was when I was talking about the studying for books thing).
Whether or not the system here is "", people still look down on someone who decided to get their GED instead of simply finishing High School. You're automatically labeled a drop out. I don't understand the motivation for doing it - so you can what, start working earlier? Prove yourself to be a 16 year old adult? Makes no sense. And for those that didn't even get a GED - seriously? |
I am very aware of this, hence why unfortunatley, I have to bull and just say I graduated when I got my GED instead. Quite unreal considering how stupid some of the people were in the "study" class I took. I only took that class to get a discount on the test lol
I actually have had people look over me as a candidate when I used to say I had my GED. I now just say I graduated in 2002. I would have if I didn't around in HS, but can't change the past. I got my GED in Aug of 2002. So, not really far off. |

Everyone can say all they want. Hind-sight is 20/20. Do I wish I had the wisdom I have now to have done it all properly? Yes, but would I change it? no. We are who we are from our experiences, and I had a rough time then. happens.
It is quite funny that you all are talking about how it is "quite " if you don't graduate HS, but in the US it is the biggest ing joke you can ever experience. |
yeah, i thought it was a joke too but i never thought "well this, i'm just gonna give up" |

Depends on where you live. I know in California, the GED is not available till you are 18. If you are under 18, you take the CHSPE (California High School Proficiency Exam) which allows you to leave HS early, and get on with your life. |

Fair enough, but neither did I. I just was an unchallenged git, and saw no point. I realized later that it was all as a result of being very unchallenged. I literally had no motivation since it was so easy. Yeah, it was a dumb reason when I was in the middle of it, but that is exactly what I realized after the fact. I pretty much failed every class from 9-11.5. I got out of regular HS and went to home study and made up a LOT of the work, but I still had 1-2 semesters left and would have been a super senior. I just said it and quit, got my GED, and started working. I also had a lot of happen at home that didn't allow me to continue HS.

if you were so unchallenged and smarter than everyone else, why didn't you just take the CHSPE and get out of there early? |

I loved HS, and don't regret one second of all the ing around I did. I partied a lot and made lots of friends, then finally when I decided I wanted to go to university I picked up my socks and kicked ass my last year. So instead of stressing for 5 years and rushing into something I hate, only to become a teacher instead - like the majority, I found something I love and didn't waste my 20's "finding myself".
Lol, people are so ing stupid! |
