Oh, that's too bad. In that case, a small change of environment might be a treat.

Well apparently I have today off as well. Wow. In the past week, I
ve only been to school once.
Well? I haven't been to school for three months.
Why?
I realized I didn't have time to fuck around in high school, so I dropped out.
I've already completed all required standardized tests, so why should I still endure the redundant hassle of boring-ass school, like being taught things I've already learned?
It was a very smart choice for me, especially in the field I want to work in. Now I am currently earning my GED, and am anxious to enroll in University this year.
I might have thought you dropped out, but I always thought you were very pro-education. Guess not.
But wow, looks like you're doing the right thing. Sounds exciting. I don't have the guts to ever drop out, nor would I want to. I could hypothetically, but meh. I'll just deal with it to make my parents happy.
I've always been pro-education! There are countless more ways of being properly educated other than attending school when you broaden your horizons.
I only frown upon (and please don't take offense) America's current public school system, whose primary aim seems to be to turn kids into good little socialists - especially for me, having attended private school in my early childhood in Brazil, but being suddenly sent to live in a government ghetto here in America for half my life.
But that is only on my case, as I have always been the kid who sat in class doodling on his notebook. Choose only what you think is right for you. Follow your trade, do what you love, and you're bulletproof.
Why would I take offense? i think the American public school system is a load of shit. But nonetheless, I'll have to finish High School and hope to reach my dreams of becoming a psychiatrist.
If you say it is your dream, go for it - but even if you're already taking the appropriate electives for that in High School, it is always useful to be further informed.
Google a study plan for psychiatry. Go to a local library and hit the books. Read up on cognitive sciences, psychology, philosophy, and the like. Most public high schools tend to be ill-informed, or may overlook some of these (admittedly frustrating) subjects. It is a huge leg up, and can take quite a bit of weight off your shoulders by the time you're in College.
Actually, I was thinking about getting some books from the library not too long ago. If only I could go to the library without almost getting into an accident due to all this damn snow.
And yeah, I'd better. I'm not sure if my HS even has electives for psychology. I sure hope so.
