Whatever you do, you shouldn't drop out of high school. You will pretty much doom yourself to a life of poverty if you don't have at least a high school diploma.

Thats true, highschool is such a blink of an eye...

Highschool is being completed by people from all walks of life. It's a small step into adult hood, but a very important one that shouldn't be your end game. If you can't handle highschool, what can you handle?

I am in geometry too.Geometry is much easier than Algebra thats for sure!! I would take geometry over algebra any day.

I'm horrible at math and I too failed out of Algebra and my school stuck me in to a geometry class. I got the hook of it and thought it was fun. You will see that there are different ways to solve the problems. I passed.

Just wait - I wentto college and hoped I could avaoid math, guess what NOPE! I currently have accounting marketing and data management in the same semester. You canèt get away from it.

how did you do in grammar?

Its a forum, cry about it. FYI the settings on my keyboard are buggered so all of my punctuation keys are off.

*edit* - ok it is kinda funny, but common be nice.

I'm more of a black/white person, so I did much better in Algebra, Trig and Calculus. I hated Geometry. Those that do poorly in Algebra, etc tend to do really well in Geometry. Just has to do with how we process things. Geometry was too abstract for me. If you did poorly in Algebra, you're probably going to do great in Geometry.

As for dropping out - you are sealing your future if you drop out of high school. And not a very good future, I might add. In fact, if you don't have plans to attend college, be it a technical college or a university, you're going to struggle to get a good paying job. There are good jobs out there with just a high school education, but it's going to be a harder road for you in the professional world.

Do you want to spend the rest of your life saying "do you want fries with that"?

Now granted there is nothing wrong with any honest work and I'm not saying anything bad here about fast food employment but the simple fact of life is without a high school diploma (at the very least) you will have very few options in life when it comes to a job. Considering how many waking hours of your day is spent earning a living, do you really want to spend it doing something you hate just because you don't have any other choices? That, my dear, will make a math class you don't enjoy seem like a breeze believe me.

Yea, if it helps at all, I am math challenged in a bad way, I barely passed algebra by the skin of my teeth in high school, and even now I think it's just because my teacher liked me and wanted me to be able to graduate. Geometry was MUCH easier than algebra, and a lot easier to understand (for me anyway). So don't freak out just yet.
