So, I have been thinking about graduating high school early so I can get a jump start on college, and I have a week to get back to my counselor to make my final decision. What are your thoughts on graduating early? Do you think there will be any big disadvantages to it?

I'm trying to graduate early, and take my last two classes that I need in summer school, so I can go to school part time, and be able to take the management position I was offered at work. Your thoughts?

you must really be shunned in highschool. savor your highschool years. even though i hated it, i overall still enjoyed the freedom that came in highschool.


I don't really feel like I have much freedom being in high school. I actually feel like time constraints are my biggest enemy. Between school and my job, I have two hours of time in between. Yeah, everyone is telling me to savor my high school years, but I haven't enjoyed the past three years, and I don't see what staying another year would do, especially if my school is making it mandatory I take six classes when I only need two.

Wait, are these two classes going toward your college credits? What grade are you in, and what will you attend college to major in? I think it would be better for you to finish high school normally, take core classes at a community college, and be a full-time college student. That would make everything simpler for you instead of having to deal with odd credit counts and paying fees that are different than what you would pay if going to school full-time.


The credits are going towards finishing out the credits I need to graduate high school. I'm a Junior, and I am still trying to decide what I want to go to college for, but it is between graphic or web designing, but I'm leaning more towards web. I have some college credits already done by taking AP classes here in high school. So being in school full-time would be much cheaper?

I don't think it really matters now does it?
When does highschool end? (Unless your a Junior now)


I'm a junior, so I would still have another school year on my plate.
