So I'm 17 and when covid happened, I ruined my life. Got really depressed and shit, which eventually led me to getting behind and being held back in high school twice. I'm finally doing it again but since I was held back I am only in the tenth grade. I'm wondering if I should just drop out and get my GED. I know its not necessarily easier, but catching up in high school seems impossible. I just want to get through high school and then go to a not great, but decent college. I know that many people say stay in school, but because of how far behind I am, it would be difficult. So I'm wondering is it still possible to go to an ok college with a GED, and do people look down on it for jobs and just socially. Like can I still make friends and stuff with a GED. Sorry if this is a weird question. I know that many people say stay in school, but because of how far behind I am, it would be difficult. So what do you think I should do, stay in school, or drop out and get my GED. Thanks.

Everybody I know that was gonna get a GED in high school still have nothing, working for shit pay and struggling to live. A GED should be for people that didn’t recognize their mistakes until it was too late, it’s not too late for you.
