dropped out of school.... "confused"
 

I dont know if this is the right place to put this, but i am so confused.

I pulled out of Yr 12 this yr and doing my hsc, cos of my self harm, bullying and other issues that i was going through. Now though i feel that i am lost and i cant stop thinking about school or how my friends are going.

I am so alone now and i dont know if i will feel any better after writing this but i dont know what my problem is!

Has anyone else pulled out of the hsc or their final year of highschool and then regretted it?

i didnt, but couldnt you still sit exams and that since you are so close to the end?

But there are a number of other things you can do as well, like going to college and getting a job, it doesnt mean the end of the world leaving.

Have you thought about going to college instead? Or getting a job? You might not feel lost and alone as it will give you a chance to make new friends and you might feel like you are carrying on with life and moving on?!? I dropped out of college and it took me a while but eventually I did a new short course then got a job and haven't regretted it since. I also left school as soon as I finished my GCSE's because of similar reasons to you.

PM me if you wanna chat xx

Hey, I dropped out of Yr 12. TWICE. Not sure if I regret doing it, because I really wasn't coping. But one thing I've learnt from experience, is that its really important to keep in contact with your friends. Do stuff outside of school, like meet at their houses or go shopping. It's quite easy to end up as a recluse if you're not careful, and that really don't help.
Anyway, just letting you know you're not the only one.

I was pulled out of school at the end of year 10. I don't regret it being done, because I know I would be dead if they hadn't. I did miss my "friends" an awful lot though. It was after they just couldn't even be bothered to even talk to me anymore (even by MSN) that I disregarded them as my friends. Now I have my family, but no friends. I miss the social contact sometimes, but not them in particular. It does get better over time though.

hey i can understand how your feeling as ive considered dropping out alot but dont want to be alone. um you could go to Tafe as there would be lots of people around your age and as others suggested is to late to get back in? xx

I dropped out half way through year 11 because things got too much. I regretted it at first but it's one of the best things I ever did *hugs* I want to college which was better so that might be an idea

I dropped out of year 13 6 months before exams for similar reasons. But then I went back for a few lessons a week and sat the exams anyway. Could you do that so you still have purpose and direction?

I dropped out of school just before year 12 when I had my first proper breakdown. I sometimes regret it but I know at that time my mental health problems were far too severe for me to continue school/college. Also I have been told I can return to education when I'm well enough so I don't feel too bad about it.

I'm in the same boat. I dropped last year. I was in the 2nd grade of high school, was held back a year, and then dropped out because I just couldn't stand it anymore or put effort into things, because of lack of interest and mental health to do so. Now that things are better, I'm trying to do this weird course where you get plenty of homework to do to get a high school diploma. No regrets so far.
