Getting to were I can not stand going to HS and also with lots of drama in the family I'm getting more and more stressed. Right now I've got two basic options (aside from HS) a.) find a job drop out and work or b.) Job Corps.

Any way just wanting to know if anyone on this site has every been to Job Corps and what its like.

I heard that you live at school there, that's it.

What about for classes, housing, and medical though?

Trent, forget it. Stay in school, deal with hating HS. It's Ok to tolerate and finish something you loathe and detest. In this case, it's really essential.

It's a tough world out there, it's unbelievably competitive, and you need every advantage to get ahead. So, unless you've got an idea like Bill Gates, if you drop out of school you're destined to be at the bottom of the economic food chain forever. As in "Paper or Plastic?" or "Welcome to WalMart!"

Develop the coping skills you need to turn off your disgust for HS or your family, and don't let it interfere with your goal to better yourself and your situation. Unfortunately, there's no quick fix or escape worth considering.

i have never heard of it but as Spoke said "stay in school" you do not know how many children dont have this opportunity and there you are wanting to throw it to the wind actually thank God you asked before you did it and HS is really cool. thats wat i hear or see 4rm my school seniors. and you do not wanna be just a somebody be a someone without the just.

You should tolerate HS and stay in it. Not alot of students have good choices because they either drop out or don't try hard at all.

Job Corps (from what I understand) would help me get a HS diploma and help with getting a job. atm I'm going to try to stay in school and wait until next year to maybe start the one thats being built here in Ottumwa.
