I was just wondering whats your opinion on drop out students? Rather then their a no life, who wont get anywhere and stuff like that. What if they ACTUALLY had good reasons to drop out? whats your opinion on them

++ because today, i was @ chinatown with my friends, we came out of a mall.. and then first thing i see is a boy, whose about 6-7th grade.. he looked homeless.. like ragged clothes, dirty jacket & shoes... and he was smoking weed? but the cigar.. wasnt lit on. and yeah i looked at his face.. soo young.. so young. and i Just felt sorry for him, and all i saw was him running after.. =/

[jjashik]

they probably think that school isn't for them
and blhblah blah and so they drop out of school and stuff.
but later in the future their going to regret that they did..

i have no opinion about people who dropped out of school.
i see them as normal people like you and me.
they just didn't get the education that we did thats the onoly different.
i hate it when people talks crap about drop outs.
they had their reason and people should respect it.

[princess_boojae]

Hmm...I have no special comment..
But I do feel sorry for them.
Because no one will know his/her future.
Maybe they will live in regretness,sadness.........who knows right?
Drop outs are not bad students.
They are just as normal as we are.They are all God's children.
We shouldn't talk crap about them.
They have their own reasons for doing what they are doing now.
We couldn't comment on everything and we have to respect their decision.
It is their own future.

As long as they know what they're doing, I don't care.
Bill Gates was a drop-out

But there's really nothing to be invented anymore.

No offense to anyone, but high school dropouts have lost all my respect.

If they were forced to drop out due to circumstances they could not help, i pity them, but they better have a good reason to still have my respect.

school is not for everyone.

[mademoiselle]

Okay not all drop outs are as bad as people say like ' having no respect for them and such ' They made a descision so just leave them be, their not asking for your pity nor or they asking you to approve of dropping out. some people just don't choose to do school. Yes its true some drop outs dont do well, but then again I know some that make lots in what they do. Its not what you learn its who you know, but that only applies to SOME buisnesses. If we didnt' have drop outs who would work in the lower produces of the economy. Who would be the person to work the night shift at 7/11 ! . And only 1/2 of all students who recieve a higher education actually use it . But then again thats only my opinion .

[rapunzel283]

Well, it depends.

After they drop out of school, what are they doing? Working? Getting into a trade?

. . . Are they on the dole? >_>

As it's been said, school isn't for everyone.
So if the said dropout is just doing crap all, then I have no respect for them.
In this day and age, almost everyone needs to be active to get somewhere in life, whether that's studying, or working and saving up money, or anything productive.

[Antz]

i'm sure they have their own reasons..
i guess i don't really think of much about them. they choose to do whatever they want.

[JENNiFER*]

i'm curious as to why some of you guys don't have any respect for drop outs.

[dazzleanddestroy]

i'm curious as to why some of you guys don't have any respect for drop outs.

same here.

(doesn't apply to anyone here, but to most people i know when we talk about drop outs)
you guys only see what you see on the outside.
you say drop outs don't have a life because they don't go to school?
LIFE ISN'T SCHOOL.

I know MANY drop outs who are sucessful later in life, better than those who even spent their time and precious money going to college.

It's their decision, their choice to choose the path they live in. You only pity them because you don't want to see yourself in their shoes.. because it's disgraceful, and you should live in the upper class than them. Don't think so highly of yourself.
When you hear a person that dropped out, you think they're a no life, dirt. You make a face full with, "they're so stupid", and surprised, because who would be stupid enough to drop out and not go to college so you'll have a life with bundle of dollars?


think again.

Well...

Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard... Does that still count as a dropout??

[twinkle_l0ve]

Rather then their a no life, who wont get anywhere and stuff like that.

actually your statement is wrong. there are some people who didnt finish school and arent homeless and struggling just to live.
a couple of my friends dropped out and their earning money and doing apprenticeships and preparing to enter a trade.
people who think that if you drop out of school and they'll be homeless should think again.
school isnt everything.

[Joanne <3]

I don't really mind - it was their decision and if they felt it was rational in doing so, then so be it.

So long as they know what they want...

[GOOMBA]

...I have a high school drop out friend who's the smartest guy I know. His family's stinkin' rich, but he takes the time to study on his own. Home-schooling himself basically. No teachers. He used to be able to help me with homework I didn't understand, too.

It just sucks how he has all that ability, yet..his main job right now is a dealer.

[itsSO0JIN]

... mmm personal exp with a couple> these are the ones that do drugs and dont have a job either basically just goofing around the whole day going out finding young girls. some kept making one of my 13 yr old BEST friend to drink and do drugs and once she was drunk one raped her. her life is going down hill b.c of that... those types anger me.

BUT then theres the other ones who HAD to drop out to make enough money to be supported on. i actually know one thats very nice and would never (pretty sure) do that kinda thing ^ i feel sorry for those who had no choice in being born into their >bad< situation.

so it depends.

oh yeah, i heard bill gates went back and graduated from harvard recently ^^ (in the korean newspaper)

I agree.
I understand that school isn't for everyone, but it's just one of those things that an average, everyday person needs to complete if they wanna make something out of their lives. without an education, what kinda job do people seriously think they're gonna have? I know there are people who do make it, even without a degree, but that's a slim chance.

[THiS ONE LOSER]

People do drop out for a reason. I have a friend that's a drop out and it seems like he knows what to do with his life. (: Honestly, I don't really care..

[Janice<3]

well it all depends.
if they're drop outs cause of issues and stuff, then i'd have respect for them to give up education for example family and such.
if they're drop outs because they want to do drugs or drink or just party, then i'd think they're lazy.
if they're drop outs because they care less about school, then i think they're lazy.
but if they're drop outs because school isn't for them and they rather do something else to make their life more productive i'd have a lot of respect for them.

and i think drop outs aren't such bad people.
what does school really do? just educates you so you can get a job to make money.
and if they don't want to do that, then why do they get no respect?
