I quit HS when I turned 15. I got my GED a few years later- it took less than 2 months to get and probably less than 10hours total including the tests. At first I felt really bad about by missing out on all of those experiences and whatnot. Eventually I just accepted life and worked to improve myself.

Your life is not ruined. You're still alive. I imagine that you can still walk, talk, move, think, you have a computer, you have resources available to you that others don't. If you had a billionaire who recently went blind and he was told he'd be that way the rest of his life then suddenly showed him an answer for all his money- he'd take it. Basically what we have- what others desire is worth incredible amounts.

Sure you missed out on HS but life isn't over. Most of the people I knew from HS are either in jail, flipping burgers, or living on welfare meanwhile I'm running my own business making over 130k a year. Social skills, money, anything you desire in this world is obtainable if you focus all your effort on it.

If you're worried about your intellect- check out math tutor dvds. When I left school I didn't even know geometry or basic algebra. Indulge yourself in books. I spent 4 years at college and I'll tell you this right now- I've learned more in my life from a handful of books that comprise my library than all of those 4 years in college combined. Learning practical applications is really a lot more helpful than theory.

If you're worried about missing out on social situations- don't. You're young and there's plenty of awkwardness left to experience. Everything in life is a skill that you can improve and grow on. Set up a social plan and get out there, start chatting up chicks, making new friends, and being who you want to be. No one is ever going to look out for your true interests except you. Everyone is too concerned with their own crap.

Good luck

Let's see...had everything in my house stolen by ex b/f and family while I was sick,same guy threw lighter fluid on me and threatened to turn me into a human torch(Lol),doctors cutting on me with no anesthesia(it's cheaper that way),my mom totally cut me out of her life for about 3 yrs while she was married to a guy like 20 yrs younger(she was a liar,so I didn't exist), and right now my best friend isn't returning my calls and I can't even imagine why.Know what? I've forgiven all and broken the chains that bound me to those experiences and made me miserable and disconnected and distrusting.That's the biggest favor I could have ever done for myself.There are good people here you can connect with as well as real life too-believe it.
