if you dont want to bother with people much,i'll try and keep a bit of distance from you cause i'd feel bad not knowing if im one of those people anyways. but see,dropping out would be having to go to a 2 year community college before attending an actual college or an art school. thats why people think youd be fucking yourself over. yeah school IS retarded,i agree on that,but 10th grade & 11th grade - you cant mess up because thats what colleges look at. i love you,you know that,thats all im saying.

thats just simply not true. if she decides to drop out, she can get her diploma from a correspondence school and start at an art college as early as January. i know this, because it's what I did. i wasted away in high school, and people don't realize that high school just isn't for everyone..especially with people who have their own personal agenda. barbara obviously knows what she wants to do..and she is perfectly capable of making her own decisions. i give her all the credit in the world for that.

its different upon different schools,you mightve been able to do that but it doesnt mean shed be able to do the same.most art schools look at your GPA and want a student who excels academically.barbaras smart and she can get through school but in all honesty - its going to be harder to get into a decent art school,Ringling might accept her,but unless she starts putting effort in - they might not.i never said i was trying to make her mind up - thats up to her,but just like you - i put in my opinion.

first off, i never accused you of trying to make up her mind. i don't think that's what you were trying to do at all, like you said you were just stating your opinion. i am just stating that no one knows what is best for barbara, then barbara herself. she shows me alot of her art and photography, and she has some serious talent. if she sits on that for two years, she could lose her drive. i agree with what she said, she would be cheating herself by sitting in high school with nothing new to learn and nothing new to put her talent in. i know for a fact that the ART INSTITUTE OF FORT LAUDERDALE will accept her, that is where I go.she could spend 4 years there, and with her talent she could make up an amazing portfolio then go to Ringling like she wants. all i am implying is that dropping out of high school is a serious thing, and im sure she is aware of that, and i don't think she would consider it, if she wasn't sure she'd be successful elsewhere. it's pointless to debate this, i'm not her..your not her. but as a friend i can say i ( ... )

ok this is the last thing i'll say about this. since when does dropping out of high school make you unintelligent, and why would you crack jokes at people who choose to? it's not like she wants to drop out because the cliche "school sucks, i don't need it", she wants to drop out because she wants to start working with the unbelievable talent that she has, a talent she obviously can't put to use the way she wants to in high school. if anything this would be a very positive thing for her. better then her being miserable for the next two years. i haven't known her half as long as you both have, and i'm sure i don't know her as well, but i wonder after reading all of this, am i the only one who stops to realize that this could actually be good for her. don't you want to see her happy and doing what she loves? you two seem like her best friends, but yet you don't stop to think that this could benifit barbara in the best way. you tell her the most negative things and i don't understand why. i dropped out at the end of the 10th grade because ( ... )
