Introduction

My high school life.......
I have been in high school for three years. I
am a junior and I feel that I have learned everything that I need
to know about the subjects that I am taking. I have a few friends that
like school and plan to go to college, but I also have friends that also
feel that school is a waste of time and want to dropout. I can see both
points of view. For the past few months I have had other students picking
on me and I am tired of it. It also seems like the teachers are being harder
on me and I am not sure if I can take it anymore.
What should I do???
I have been here for three years and I have put
up with a lot of stuff and made it this far, but I am not for sure how
much more I can take. I would like to drop out but I am not sure what I
want to do. I know that it is easy to dropout of school and I would not
have to deal with people picking on me anymore, but if I stick it out I
can possible go to college.
What I need to know...
What I really need to know is how many
other people decided to dropout of school in the state of Missouri as well
as the average number in the United States. Also, I need to know what the
admission qualifactions are for a two year college as well as a four year
college. You will be able to find this information on
these sites.
