Dude, a week ago you were all "Life is great, talking to chicks and my buddies" and all that. A week later, you're pissed off at the world. You know what? That's life. Ain't gonna change. Sometimes things will be going great, and sometimes things will suck. The true measure of a man is how he handles adversity (Same with women, ladies...or so my wife tells me...after all, being married to me must be adversity enough). Bailing out of school will lead you to nothing but a future littered with pseudo careers that come complete with paper hats and plastic name tags that pay minimum wage...IF they will hire you. Could even lead to a lot of time in and out of jail, maybe even prison, maybe even DEAD.
I'm not so far removed from being a teenager that I don't remember what it was like. I had my moments, and plenty of teachers I wanted to drop kick into a pit of rattlesnakes. But the bottom line was without that silly little piece of paper on a decorative matting, I wouldn't have gone on to be the person I am now, and I would've greatly disappointed the people that paid to put a roof over my head, clothes on my back and food in my mouth (You know...those parental units). Hang in there, man. Take your medicine, stop getting suspended and graduate. You'll also be surprised in ten years how many of the 'friends' you have now that will still be there for you. This is your full-time job right now: See it through and move on to greatness.
Besides, paper hats and nametags don't buy a lot of aftermarket performance parts! Trust me! Been there, done that!
