Help! Life Decision...

[skordakis]

Hey everyone, i'm having some problems at home that are somewhat my fault and my parents. just to give you a feel on the problem. I'm not doing that great in school. I hate it, i can't stand going to my classes to sit there and not learn a thing even if i do pay attention, so most of my time in class is spent sleeping. Another thing I skip classes all the time and get in trouble every single time i skip. now my dad has told me that if im going to attend school for no reason i might as well drop out and get a full time job. Now i wouldn't mind doing that but then my options are limited in the future (basic trades) which i wouldnt really have a problem with at all, like a plumber or electrician. But i've also been told that even if i regret droping out in the future i can always go back and get my grade 12 if i wanted. If i picked the full time job root, i would have much more freedom and wouldnt get in trouble. but if i take the school root im gunna end up failing most of my classes and waste a few years of retaking school. pls someone give me some advice on wat to do im stuck and im not going nywere.

thanks alot,
skordakis

and for the do it urself way, i cant thats why ive resorted to asking you guys, i cant apply myself like that. ive never done homework from grade 1. also i smoke alot of weed which makes me lazy but gives me my art and ability to create things.

...

I wonder who's fault that is.

Any idea which industry you wanna work in ?

Why not take a job, and go for some short courses or workshops along the way.

Its better than not studying at all, and those workshops actually teaches you hands on stuff about your job etc. Maybe even pick up a new language or something.

Jeez, I'm In toronto.

it's not hard to finish school dude, jeez.
I hate when OnRpg gets topics like this.
it's your fault you get in trouble, it's your fault you sleep.
Stop being a whiney kid and finish school like everyone else.

Trust me, You'd want a high paying job when you're older.
You wouldn't want to **** around with a low paying job, scrambling money for bills and finding places to get money to pay for rent.

^ what he said.

ive never done homework from grade 1.

I don't believe you. School work is INCRE-****ING-BLY EASY IF YOU PAY ATTENTION.

its not im lazy at school i dont like doing shit that wont be necassary in my life. and no weed does not affect me like that. Nd if i had a job i like there would be no need for me to be lazy if im enjoying my work now. and im not to sure wat im interested in, i like cooking, i like alot of hands on things, i absolutly love guns and know tons about them. Id liek to go in to a field were i can be hands on and creative in my own way like making something from scratch that could be potentially succesful, im great at selling things and im an amazing people person that gets along well with 99% of people.

well most employeers, unless its McDonalds, liek at least a HS grad..

FIRST, im not complaining and im not whiney, im asking for advice so if u dont have helpful advice then **** off and mind your own buisness and dont deal with a topic liek this. to the others thanks so far but i dont have a clear option yet, and to the other 16 year old, wat goes in 1 ear out the other i somewat the same, but a good quality i have is im an amazing chef, and i have lots of creativity in art/design and stuff and creating new ideas to aproaching things.

It's open to everyone.
Don't start up an arguument.

[skordakis]

alright well, first this is a part of growing up and if u havent read im 16 and obviously dont no as much as an adult so dont pick on me cause ur older . and as for u deimos yea i understand what ur saying its wise to stay in school and stuff but its just backing up my life when i might not even need it later on down the road. I don't need to smoke a joint to get creative im always creative its just i've done incredible things stoned believe it or not. and i'd love to sell weed part time but it costs money, and ive done it before Bad things are u get robbed, in fights possible arested. so id have to wait till i get my own place to do that.

man ive had job expiereence i know wat its like to be out there, i worked at tim hortons for a year and the hockey hall of fame for a year which was an incredible job, and if u dont beleieve ive never compelted homework, well that sucks and i cant make u believe me btu theres no reason to lie, and schools mayb easy for you but not for everyone bro.

selling weed isnt that retarted, selling drugs would be retarted. and i guess im gunna go out and do the working thing mayb catch up on school later on in life if i need it. ps. do u guys no any online buisness i could maintain part time while i do work at a job and what not.

Yes because selling weed will make your chances of going to jail less....why?
