Why do people act mean to high school drop outs?
If a kid were to drop out of school, no one would deeply care about that kid. All people do is talk about them and say how “bad” they are just because they quit. Schools only care about the money they have coming in, their dropout to non-dropout ratios, and their pay. They really don’t care about the kids. They may want nothing bad to happen to them and for everything to be okay, but five years from now, they’ll probably never think of those kids (or even remember them). They only want their school to look good on paper. They don’t even try to understand why someone would drop out, but criticize and give “options” as if everything is always so black and white. Then they ***** if the kids won’t do the alternative options they have. People don’t even understand the amount of s h i t kids go through around here where school would just be a burden.
One guy had a pretty bad mental breakdown plus somebody downloaded a bunch of child pornography on his stuff and there’s no way they believe that he didn’t do it. He’s in so much trouble for something this crazy and he’s only 16. Hearing about what he goes through, I don’t see how school can even come into the mix right now.
Another girl got pregnant, and she and her boyfriend are keeping the baby. Adoption is too hard and regretful for so many birth mothers, so don’t even say that she should do it. But neither sides of the family support them and they have to dropout to get a job to make ends meet. So is caring for a human being who has thoughts, emotions, feelings, and needs love less important than the last two years of high school? I sure hope not. High school diploma may help them, but they have no support. I think people should walk a day in someone else’s shoes and try to understand adoption isn’t really giving a “better” life, but a richer one. Yeah, people can say she “should’ve kept her legs closed,” but it’s too late now. Why doesn’t anyone seem to care about other humans feelings anymore? Why do people talk so ill of droputs, if it usually doesn’t even affect your life? Why all the hostility? It’s their life, and they should choose how to live without others being so judgmental.

There shouldn’t be any hostility. Everyone thinks that they have all the answers. I know a young couple that got pregnant, kept the baby, got married. He found a job. They are working it out. They are drop outs. I am proud of them for not listening to the “better people”. Offer love or keep away……… They can do it……

I agree with you. Being educated doesn’t mean you are better than anyone else. Being uneducated doesn’t mean you are not as Intelligent as the educated person.
Dropouts can sometimes make a better living than hs grads. It just takes determination.

So True. There are alot of people out there that has unversity deploma and everything and still fails in life and there are also some drop outs even though they might not have as much opptions as ppl with diplmas some of them are richer than ppl that has them
most dropouts are smart and talented its just they dont have the determination to do it
