disappointed: My son just is 17 and a junior in high school. He just told me of his plans to drop out of school.

Wow, so close to graduation!  What does he want to do after he graduates?

He just informed me that he is dropping out. I have tried convincing him to finish though.

Oh no!  I hope you're able to.  I know its hard for kids to look at the longer, bigger picture of life sometimes and just what he's going through now.  I took my GED early at 16 and graduated so maybe he wants to do that and start something else sooner.
