the GED is a highschool test that lets you graduate without attending class. basically if you can pass the test you can be officially considered graduated.

^^^ What he said.

in the US really everything is possible. even passing school, hrhrhr

Yes it is, I have that plus my High School Diploma. I got the GED first.

hell yeah

my illustrator CS1 sucks, I wanna have CS3

School is so boring. I have 2 1/2 years left.

yep. school is the last thin I am missing. it was the shittiest time with the shittiest human beings

Yes, god I hated everyone in my school. I work with someone I went to school with, ugh he is still as annoying as before.

it's supposed to be looked upon as equivalent but really it's not. it should be, but it isn't.

yeah rly. i didn't even go to the classes for it.

but if it's easier than going to class-- should it be?

Neither did I. I just took it, so I could take off a shitload of classes for my HS Diploma. And it really isn't looked as an equivalent.

well. if you want my opinion.

i don't think school is for everyone. i tried to stick it out and suck it up and make myself go but i just couldn't do it. i just wanted to kill myself every second i was in there. anything would have been better. i would rather have been thrown in a mental institution.

i also don't like the way school is looked upon as "preparation" for real life. real life does not start when you leave school, it happens all the time, from the second you're born.

this was the most sensuful thing said in this thread. but at the same time the only senseful thing

when you'd rather go to jail than school...yeah.

yeah i hated school too. fuck that place. couldn't have gone to college any faster. college for me was awesome though.

and it's not like school is "preparation" (h or no h)-- but real life is just like high school-- dismal shit, horrible people, ha ha ha ha.

"life is just to die"

You lot should have gone to my fucking "high" school - some lovely guys and girls, but the rest of them deserved be to publicly disembowled and shat upon.

Ahem, please excuse my Abe Simpsoness here, but reading the above just reminds me how glad I was to get out of that shithole all those years ago...

Yeah high school is dumb haha.
