Of course your parents should be an option

If you are under the age of 18, you will be charged with "truancy". You will have to go to court and could be fined up to $500, have your driving privileges suspended and have to do community service. http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/education/stories/020309dnmettruant.3ef6228.html

Students, under 18, who fail to attend school will be subject to legal action for violation of Compulsory Attendance Law. Parents who fail to insure their child attends school will also be subject to legal action for thwarting compulsory attendance. Students and parents who are found at fault will have to pay court costs & fines, and the student will be regarded as a "child in need of supervision" and referred to Juvenile Authorities. Remember - - - If you quit school for a minimum wage job, all you'll ever make for the rest of your life is minimum wage. Is it worth it to have a few coins in your pocket now?

Before you do something that stupid talk to your school about Dallas Can academy.

The other people are right! Please think about what you are doing. Look at the economy, it is likely to get worse before it gets better. As this happens, there will be more and more people competing for jobs, and guess who will get them? The person with an education. You may as well not even fill out the application. Is a couple more years of school worth messing up the rest of your life? Work evenings or weekends, and stay in school, you will be happier in the long run. Good luck!
