So I hit the drop out age

My former high school's principal had dropped out at age 15 for the same reason as myself, and later attended Brown.

This is besides the fact that many of the "reputable colleges" (depending on your definition of "reputable") are financially strenuous to enter and generally favor higher-middle-to-upper-class standings in prospective students. For many people in today's society, these colleges could be out of the question.

Why do people respond to my sarcastic posts like this.

I'm graduating high school but I'm probably dumb as pomegranate so I really doubt it has anything to do with it.
High school is just a formality and a somewhat of a social contest. It's there to provide an unrealistic view on intelligence and society. How good you do on a test doesn't prove anything, it just proves how good you are at memorizing that the answer to question 32 is D.
