my son is 17 and a high school junior . wow , so close to graduation ! what does he want to do after he graduates ? he just informed me that he is dropping out . i have tried convincing him to finish though . oh no ! i hope you 're able to . i know its hard for kids to look at the longer , bigger picture of life sometimes and just what he 's going through now . i took my ged early at 16 and graduated so maybe he wants to do that and start something else sooner .
His decision to drop out despite being convinced otherwise.
