How should I tell my mom? Am already bracing myself for worst possible outcomes including her cutting all contact with me
I hate everything about school would've dropped out long time ago the only reason I didn't is because I didn't want to disappoint her. My high school days I was gone half the school year for suspension or showed up late or not at all
now I been in community college for a year and half and am already sick of it.

Take 10 deep breathes, calm yourself down, tell your mom that you love her and tell her that you are sorry and get your sh*t together. Don't drop out of school. Why do you want to make such a dumb decision?

I have no motivation or interest in it I only did it because I didn't want to disappoint her.
I also never seen the appeal of white collar jobs I found them to be boring and trash as fuck.

Don't you have any passion or interest for anything? Except pretending to be a thug?

So what is the alternative, do you have other plans?

Pretending to be a thug

No I don't the only thing I know is I tried school and I hated it
my mom is about to kick me out the house

.

you should have at least finished high school. Suck it up and just do it. You can learn to love to do something. You need to work on getting rid of negative thoughts about school. That's the issue.

So what is the alternative, do you have other plans?

Nope it seems am setting myself up for failure but gut feeling is telling me ill be fine

Sxb Take my Advice. I am old enough to be your dad, 36 years old, been in america since I was 21 ( 15 years) and have done so many jobs ( Processing Turkey meat plan, walking in the stock room for Target, working in marshalls in the picking used Underwears for women and, worked in Assembly lines, securtiy Jobs etc). Apart from the hard jobs, dealing with uneducated managers, people monitoring you when you go to break, punching out for lunch and not be late for a minute from break etc, I was only earning the highest wage of $12/hour. It was not enough to pay my bills and I was living stressful life from Paycheck to paycheck. Everyday tired and stressed. I was like you. I had no intention for school, I also had no family here to pay my bills so had to work. One day, with the help of God, I decided enough was enough. I didn't care what subject I like and what interest me. All I wanted was to get a degree to increase my wages. I went to school and worked full time Job. I slept only 4 hrs most of the days. After 4 years, I finished. I got my first job at $22.50. That is double my salary. I work in a computer job and hardly do anything. I only work less than 15% and can even take my computer home to work from there if the office is boring. I am now at work earning $23 but still typing this in Somalinet. I go facebook, viber and listen to youtube video while I get paid $23/hr. If that is not enough to boost your moral, you can do what you want. As your Adeer, hope you make the right decision. You make a hay while the sun shines. If your agirl, you would have been married and have a somali truck driver pay your bills. But now, You are a man. How you gonna take care of a wife and kids working in walmart? Or you think moma will always be there to give you break fast? You need to stop this dhoocil like suuro and grow some balls.

I suggest you stay in School and get it done with, it will be helpful later or you will forever regret doing it.

This guy.


...but keep in mind that not everyone is cut out for tertiary education. Realistically only 40% of the population should have a bachelor's degree or higher. Not everyone or it loses value and becomes meaningless.

YES! THIS! LISTEN TO HIM!

Thank you for sharing your story and kudos to you.

I finished high school 2 years ago actually I was thinking of dropping out then but I was talked into finishing it.
the issue is I have little attention span or motivation to do it.

So what is the alternative, do you have other plans?

Nope it seems am setting myself up for failure but gut feeling is telling me ill be fine

Okay what are you studying in school?
