Comment on Ask HN: I'm a 14yo HS student. How can I improve my situation?

Comments

Go to community college. I just walked in asked nicely and they let me in. Drop out of HS if you can. Transfer straight to college. Don't tell any CC students about your situation because it can make things awkward.

Don't listen to counselors or even parents on this: no one will care about a HS diploma, especially if you go into development. No one will even ask.

If it ever comes up, casually don't mention you didn't graduate. Just say I went to Such-and-such HS.
