I've been trying to talk it out of him for a while now, and I don't think it'll work. He'll end up some trash on the streets, and I guess if that's what he wants, then that's just great. He's got nicky c vision, but even more foolish versions ... He think's he'll get a diploma online. Maybe he'll become the next Dustin Games.

Seriously, you guys don't know shit about wastes. I know many, live with many, and have dealt with many throughout my whole life. If Bierce wants to be a waste, that's his decision, even though I don't recommend it.
Now, dropping out of high school is not the best decision, but a GED is always an option. But you can't stop somebody from following their own decisions. If you can't beat 'em, leave.
The Jake is definitely one of the worst wastes I've ever known. And I know heroin addicts. But anyway, The Jake was such a waste that he got high instead of going to the meeting that would facilitate his dropping out of school today. Anyway, yeah, wastefulness is bad. But if someone decides to waste away, let him have his fun. The Jake does.
If you fail, you can always join N8 and IR.

steve... your thoughts disgusted me. you shouldnt encourage anyone to become a waste. you are dumb. complete garbage. ed norton... i thought you had a lot of good things to say to jared. i agreed with everything you said. i think jerad needs to wait and talk to some friends before he makes any decisions. i dont really understand how dropping out of school will give you more independence. i would like to hear what you have to say though jerad. anyways....anyone see jack black on conan? the masscara thing was too funny.

Steve wasn't encouraging Jared at all, he was just trying to give an example of shit that could happen if he quits school.
This is the way I am looking at it:
Jared... you are almost done with school. This is the time that is the easiest you will ever know. Just finish it up, it's really not all that bad. Because if you quit school, what are you going to do for work? It's gonna be tough. Even if you only have a high school diploma, like me, you're still a lot better off than someone who doesn't have anything. And I know the GED & stuff is all good.. but still, people kinda look down on that, because it gives a lot of employers & stuff the impression that you didn't care enough to to go to school, so why would you care enough to come to work if they hired you? It is easy to quit, but harder than you'd ever know to go back. Whether it be to high school, or to get a GED. My personal opinon is... go to school, and finish up. Then take a year off, because that can really get a lot of stress out of the way for a while. I know, when I was in high school, that's where all of mine came from. Then if you want, go to college. But at least in that year off or so... it will give you a lot of time to think about what you want to do for the rest of your life. You don't want to be getting thrown out of Speedway bathrooms for the rest of your life.

education is independence...you are gonna be confined to minimum wage jobs for the rest of your life and then when you wish you could be independent and take a trip somewhere...you'll be stuck cause you have to go to work to make crappy wages. if you get an education you can get a job that you like and you can enjoy life. one more year of high school is not gonna be half as bad as the next 45 on welfare, barely getting by because kids at school are morons. (or whatever your reason may be to quit.) Think about half the people you are trying to avoid, they are gonna graduate and end up winning in the end. All cause you gave up...its not just a bad idea...its a horrible idea. One day you'll have kids and be like "yeah i dropped out of high school" and im sure it will make you feel bad. Besides...waht the hell are you gonna do all day not being in school? Working? Working blows...school is way better than a job. If you are quitting school cause people are telling you what to do and you dont like it...think about it...people have been telling you what to do your whole life...and if you finish school....someday you'll have your turn.

Jared, although we cannot control what you do and these are just merely suggestions, we all strongly hope that you choose the right path. Just cause I have a high school diploma, I have a job right now with Eli Whitney Design, Inc. for $10 and hour and i can work pretty much whenever I want for most of the week. That is so much better than working at McDonald's. The pay is better and the work is a hell more interesting. All of you have very interesting points and very good ones. Jared, noone here is calling you a waste (YET!), we are just saying that we (and I know I speak for all of us, maybe except for steve cause he does not have any friends) Do NOT want to see one of our FRIENDs make the wrong decision and become a waste. We are not telling just merely asking for you to make the right decision. God Speed and Have fun. High School does not have to be bad...as many of us found out, you can make it really fun if you know how to.

Over the summer when I worked at the nursing home I really really wanted to quit. Waking up at 5am everyday and slaving away fro 12 hours. It was hell. But now I am so glad that I stuck it out. I made lots of great money for it and it made my summer seem threefold. Just stick it out and you'll look back and think "that wasn't so bad".
It's all simple platetechtonics my friend. . .

Yes, Ahmed Johnson did work at the nursing home this summer, and yes he did want to quit. BUT... I did as well, and I will tell you one thing right now. I made a much easier time of waking up early and working for twelve hours a day... wanna know how?
I was the worst employee that the nursing home had ever seen. I was a half hour late my second day. I fuckin' hated that place. I mustered up my resolve and tried to be the worst worker possible. Many times I said to Ahmed Johnson, "I'm trying to get fired." I really was. The only reason I didn't was because I made more money then God. I fuckin' missed work, called off, showed up after not sleeping all night, left after twenty minutes, slept on recliners in the shower room while no one knew where I was, smoked when I wasn't supposed to be on break, rearranged my breaks so that I could cheat the time clock out of extra minutes, stole food, slammed beverages constantly, played mind games with the residents, ate the security guards food on the way to deliver it, messed up orders, slagged people off, made fun of everyone, including the owners, slipped my two weeks notice four days late through a mail slot, came to work hungover, taught one of the residents about Bongzilla and made her say "I only drink Bud", told the same resident I went back in time and pushed Jesus, walked around for hours when I should have been washing dishes, made the Eagles do all of my work, left early, and just generally wasted three thousand dollars of that nursing home's money, which I blew on strippers, records, an amp, and a bunch of trash. Ahmed Johnson can testify to everything I just mentioned.
Go to school and just do it real half-assed. If I didn't get fired, neither will you.
