Well first off how old are you? I quit school when i was in the 11th grade but went back a year later to graduate.
You will probably have to either go to an "adult" or continuation school. You won't be able to get back into regular school because usually they wouldn't allow someone so advanced in age to go back that far. My suggestion would be to go to your local community/junior college and start off there.
Yea and if you can get your GED, you need to do that too. Many college wont take you if you dont have your high school diploma or a GED. But dont give up.
In some countries, there is a system of 'education outside the school'....where you only go to class on Sat (age doesn't matter there)..And you learn at home for the rest of the week. Then....you can take their exams..which would give you equivalent qualification (as if you have finished school). So instead of spending for example 3 year at highschool (or secondary school), you could finish it in a year and a half if you pass their exams.
The pros of this would be that you can go to Uni, and...you won't be too old in comparison to other students (as you did high school in less time.) Of course, the cons would be that you would miss all the benefits you could get in school (like activities etc). Still, this would be useful if your school don't accept you back. Good luck
So normally, if you hadn't gave up on school.. you would probably be in the 10th grade, right? So you would be around the same age as me.. which is 14-16 range. Not that I would know much, but if you want to make a decent amount of money.. real estate is easy, and doesn't require much education. I'd recommend looking into it. Or, if you have any cool talents, you can better them and turn it into a career!
Going back to school is also an option. My grandpa told me that its harder to learn as you grow older.. but you know they most when you're the oldest. Anyway, you could also get real fit and join the military. Finaly, first things first would be to get a high school diploma. It's real basic.. and it opens a small room of oppurtunities. Then hopefully you'll realize what you want?! hehe. thats a lot coming from a 14 year old /w a plan.  good luck!
I'm 15 so I guess I'd be in 9th or 10th grade (I lost track). I don't think college if for me. I figure I might go to adult school thing with my sis (If they let me). Would it be real hard to just do it myself? Online I mean. There might be some kind of forum or group I could find. Is a GED almost the same as a highschool degree?
I didn't realize it was possible to quit school that early...haha
As for me, it's sorta too late for me to quit now. I'm just a few months away from getting my high school diploma, so screwing up now would just make my stint in public education a complete waste... After that, it's on to college, and that's too expensive to quite 
wasi, a GED is the equivalent of a high school diploma, I would recomend getting it, if you live in america you will recevie 500 bucks if you pass it for a start to college.
It just kind of happened. Actually I think I might have slipped through the crack.
 Like they probably forgot about me. Is that good or bad?=D

Wasi, you seem like a very smart person. The way you type is already more intelligent than 80% of the Internet.
I would highly recommend getting your GED. It's never too late to do it, and you'll feel more confident as you go. Sooner or later, you'll find that you basically didn't miss anything at all.
Dropping out.
Quitting School... No, you can only drop out or take the GED, at the age of 16 or higher, in some rare cases the governments will let some kids, if the collage is willing to drop out of middle school, or higher school under the age of 16, to join a collage. No people don't think that highschool "drop outs" are dumb, unless you have no GED, or you have a bad GPA... As long as you make at least a 2.5 GPA or higher your fine, that's a C+ average... And I dropped out of highschool because it had no purpous, I was to educated for the fools they serve, I took the GED and got highered by Microsoft as a c++ computer programmer, didn't even go to collage, and I make more than most adults in this world, about 71.5 $ per hour, 40 hours a week, that's when you start out, right now I'm making a paycheck of 144$ per hour. Also if I make a game and people like it, I'm a millionare. -reply by Boomer QUOTE(novaforme @ Feb 19 2005, 03:18 AM)  wasi, a GED is the equivalent of a high school diploma, I would recomend getting it, if you live in america you will recevie 500 bucks if you pass it for a start to college. 500 bucks?? Sounds like freebies for the uneducated...  Do you need a GED for the 500 bucks? I don't get this...  -- you know what scratch that I don't think skipping the "Best darn tootin 4 years of your life" would be a good investment. I mean this girl makes 200k off her website every year but she's still a senior in high school with a 3.00 GPA I think I would still be in school if I had the choice to skip four years!
That's weird, your really not allowed to quit, or drop out of school until you are 16 (with parents release), or 18, when you become an adult. If you stopped going to my school you would be tracked down by the district and given disciplinary action (Juvenile court). Bu if you dropped out in 5th grade it will be really hard for you to gain all the knowledge to get GED certification, it could take a while, and a lot of effort. If you do decide to attempt this feat, Good Luck! And if you did manage to get a GED that would really better how your life will outcome.
I am in england and we can home school our children here, all my children have attended school, but my daughter who is now 15, refuses to go to school, and after realising no matter what any one does wont make a difference to this, so i started to home school her, u don't have to follow the school curriculum, just as long as u r teaching them something. So for her am brushing up on her English n maths, she is already computer efficient so adding to that by teaching her things like web site deign power point etc.
she wants to do child care when older, so doing child psychology, a 1st aid course, anatomy and physiology, an addiction course, brushing up on her cooking skills and aerobics with her too. She is enjoying this a lot more, and learning a lot more than if she went to regular school..and i am learning new things too Caz
