High school is just a waste of time. After I got through the 7th grade, I moved across the country. When the school year was close to starting, I was almost 16 (for various reasons), so instead of going to high school, I decided to just pass the GED instead and go to college.

Basically, it was easy for me to pass the GED (its at a very low level) and I started going to a community college. I took a bunch of remedial classes and transferred to a university after about 2.5 years (including summers). Now I'm 22 and have just graduated with 2 bachelors degrees.

(BTW, all of my younger siblings are doing the same thing, they are going to community college and just skipping highschool. Had to fake their ages to get them in younger than 16 though.)

I only go to college because I pay for the internet bandwidth. Gotta play starcraft somewhere away from all the nagging

EDIT: Just as an aside, unless you're going to be a doctor or something that you need specific (and I mean really specific and important) hands-on training for you can just get the same education from picking up book(s) about the subject. A lot of people that went to college deny this but the only reason you're really going is to get a really special shiny piece of paper called a degree =).

The only real thing you learn in college is how to learn/study.

That shiny degree is VERY VERY VERY critical

Its fun becuase of the age you are at and your friends and you are just starting to party and getting laid and shit like that. Not because you are in high school. High school itself is a fucking joke and so lame. I just skipped about 50% of my final year and went and partied with friends. I did next to zero homework. Still graduated and then went to a shitty uni for 2 years to get my grades up to As, then tranfered to a good uni. Seriously, dont waste your time trying in highschool. Go party as much as you can while you are still young. Drink, smoke dope, get laid, have a blast. Dont fucking do homework. Thats what college is for.
