go back to school, or not?
hi im 16/f
i recently dropped out of high school (year 11) cause i moved houses suddenly (dads to mums) after some bad stuff happened.
i currently go to tafe full time. and because im in a new area i dont have any friends, so its really lonley.
its almost the start of a new school year and im thinking about starting up and repeating year eleven. yes i know starting at a new school is hard but ive done it before and i like it. thing is part of me doesnt think i should. like yes it would be great to know kids my own age, and not be sitting at home all day. and do my hsc so i have more options as to what i can do.
but im worried what happens if i hate it, or if at the end of it i dont want to go to uni..
should i go back to school, or finish tafe and go into full time work and save up so i can move out?

What you want to do is to keep as many doors open as possible.
Without a high school diploma it can be very difficult to find work. When you do find work, you're stuck with minimum wage labour for the rest of your life for the most part. Now, I'm not saying that that is the worst path for everyone, but it might close doors that you don't want to close.
There are tons of opportunities for people who graduate high school. You can go work straight out of school, or go to college or university or do an apprenticeship. You might not want to go to university at the end of high school, but you may find that what really interests you is becoming a tradesperson or something else that requires further education. By doing your high school diploma you're not only giving yourself time to figure that out but you're leaving your future open to those possibilities.
I know it sucks to have no friends in school. I'm a 25 year old female in a class of 17-19 year old guys, and it's really crappy having to go in with the prospect of awkward silence. It's just a matter of finding your inspiration elsewhere. Try to do the best you possibly can in school and celebrate your successes. And who knows, you might find some great friends along the way. As for hating high school, that's kind of a given. The good news is that as you go further in high school you get to choose more of your courses and customize your education to fit your interests. Do what you love :)

It's never too late to restart anything that brings benefits into our lives :) You just need to believe that you can do it all the time ! Look , either you like it or not , you need to go into the university . We're living in a very fast-paced world and if you can't catch up , you're gonna regret it all your life . I recommend you to go back to school because that's where you belong . Don't think of what others will say or judge about you because they don't know the real you , even i don't . Study hard and smart , get good grades and you know you'll be living in a successful life . All it takes is sacrifice , be brave and don't give up . I , in fact anyone will always support your studies ! Think of the future and consume time wisely . Make a change from now on . You can work if you want to , but what change will you see in the end ? There might be changes but they won't be the same as the changes from studying ! Go for school ! And be friendly all the time :)
