Dropped out after 8th grade, never went to highschool.
Got my Ged because it was piss easy.
Dicked off learning programming/web dev for about 5 years until I was 22ish when my mother died.
Bummed around with extended family, went homeless etc.
Got a job, taught myself how to drive(by stealing my aunts car), got my license, uncle fights me/kicks me out, moved in across country with a good friend who had a really cheap room for sale.

I've screwed a few girls along the way but nothing to brag about.

currently seeking a new place because my dickhole landlord decided he wants to kick everyone out so his faggot kids can move in

Hahahahahaha, oh that's a good one.

As if anyone could turn their life around and save themselves if they were a regular highschool graduate let alone the drop out/GED kids. You don't wind up in that position without things going seriously wrong at an age earlier than you could have ever fixed anything.

To add onto this, you have to get mad and live selfishly at the expense of others if you want to make it.

I can pinpoint the moment I got angry after moving for the 4th time in a year.

some factory was offering training for a bunch of different trades so i took the offer and became a welder

dropped out, became neet

never got a GED but did some online courses and eventually went to a two year college and graduated, then went to a real university and got a degree

right back to being a neet afterwards

I never turned my life around. It's been 9 years now and I still just do nothing all the time. It's better than working though.

>dropped out senior year of hs
>neet for about 4 years
>parents finally kick me out
>live with a faraway cousin
>cousin gets me a job
>been a factory wageslave since
I guess if having a job handed to me is considered turning my life around, then I've succeeded.

I didn't make it.

Dropouts can still take their GED and go to college. That's what I did, but then I dropped out of college too. Somehow I managed to get a decent paying job, but I also dropped out of that. Now I'm a NEET, so the only other thing I can do is drop out of life.

High school drop out here, got my GED, enrolled in a shitty private college/uni, drop out after third trimester. studied a lot in my free time English/Math/Spanish, took SAT/ACT, scored well. enrolled in a better private UNI, and taking the SAT was unnecessary, so I wasted my time studying. but I am taking general classes at the moment, and thanks to my studying, I understand all the basic shit I'm taking in my first semester.

I'm still young, won't say how old I am, but I dropped out in HS, and enrolled in the private uni (the first one), while I was still under 18. so, I've had the time to figure shit out and what the next step in my life is. still live with parents, but I got my driver's license.

dropping out of high school isn't the end of the world like some people might think, the 2 years as a NEET I spent studying and I'm more educated than most people that I take classes with, and I'm sure most of them didn't drop out of high school. so I'm not behind my peers, as one would say.

I haven't, I've floundered and blown every opportunity I was given since in fact. I'm only 21 and I've already wasted my entire life. If only Shakedown Street would hire me, that's the best I can hope for. I have a sneaking suspicion I am too stupid for college, let alone STEM.

Stopped going to school grade 9. Was addicted to gaming and stayed at home playing psx all day. Was neet and khv until 27. Took a 6 month technician course and when I was done I sent out mass emails to nearby companies. Got an interview and managed to get the job. Got a gf a few months afterwards, moved in together in a our own apartment.
4 yrs later I make equal money to
many college educated in my country. Family very happy for my success.
Sometimes I miss the neet years of wow raiding and gaming all night with no responsibilities.

>>39154944
I'm very happy for you anon, but why are you still here?

>>39156241
I still identify as a robot, have little friends and cannot keep a conversation beyond work or weather.

>How did you turn your life around and save yourselves?

Ahahahahhahaha, oh you poor sweet summer OP, do you really think we turned our lives around but are still hanging out on this board?

Dropped out in 10th grade, was homeschooled for a year, got ged, went to 2 yr. college, transferred to 4 yr college and graduated. Currently just a lowly wage cuck hoping to move out of parents home in the next few months.

dropped out hs sophomore year because crack and no parents. got my ged at when i turned 19 and now im 24, working a dead end job with no friends or family

Dropout here
It definitely made me much happier than staying in school
Only had one shitty job since, but am in training to be in business so I mean thats pretty decent

I dropped out of school at 16. Got employment for 4 years doing various shitty jobs. Then age 20 I became majorly depressed and psychotic. Spent the next 13 years In a very poor mental state living as a NEET with no friends. Age 33 I had a massive psychotic episode and was diagnozed with Schizophrenia. Now age 34 I'm trying to put the pieces of my life back together. I do voluntary work 3 days a week and got back in touch with a few of my old friends through wastebook. I doubt I'll ever be able to partake in full time employment again but I might be able to work part time in the future. I doubt I'll ever have a girlfriend again but I've come to terms with this.

>>39151714
I haven't turned anything around major mistake completely fucked

>>39153485
How can you drop out so many times? Too lazy ?

>>39151714
Dropped out at the beginning of 2012 i think. I was 15 and a half, i think? I can't even remember at this point.
I was a NEET until 2016 february when i got my first full time job.
I enrolled in college again the same year (i live in the UK)
Never told my parents that i didn't go to school, they never found out but i came close to either telling them or them finding out a few times and it was becoming really suspicious by the end.
We eventually moved cities in the summer of 2015 after i "finished school" and they pressured me to get a job or continue my education. I did small part time jobs every now and then until 2017 february when my cousin got me a job where he worked.
I still live with my parents, and i'm currently starting the 2nd year of college level 3 from September, and I'm still at my job though i've been fired once but got taken back, however my hours are reduced to 9 per week. I also got a LDR GF who i met last week and going to meet again in December. I also still live with my parents and managed to save up to 6k so far.
Could be worse

>then until 2017 february when my cousin got me a job where he worked.
Woops, meant 2016 february not 2017

>>39151714
i turned my life around by reevaluating all the nothing that i'd been doing and deciding that it was a good use of time instead of a bad use of time
just be the arbiter of ur own perception bro
