How do I go about getting a GED?
If you’re 17 and able to hang on until you’re 18 – don’t bother with the GED. They’re next to useless once you’re an adult. I don’t know a thing about Ohio, but here’s my personal experience: I got my GED when I was 16 (well, it was a California specific kind, a CHSPE, but they’re the same kind of thing). I didn’t rely on anyone at all to do it, other than getting my mom to sign the age waiver. I registered for a test a few months away, bought a study book, studied in every spare moment, got myself to the test site and passed without issue. A friend of mine took the test at the same time, only he didn’t study, and failed. So I suggest you get a book, even if you’re dropping out because high school is so easy it’s boring you to tears. Yeah, it’s not a difficult test, but practice is good all the same. I doubt that the GED test site would be far from public transit, so don’t let not being able to drive hold you back. Hell, if things aren’t working out for you where you are, don’t let any
