Kind of awkward but we're from the same county and state..(JS for me) if you have your moms permission you can drop out, without permission it's 18. (since your considered an adult) I just think that she has to come into the school and sign something with you guidance counsiler and you should be able to drop out..

We're both the same ago so I don't know if this will have much of an effect on you, but, you should try and get you GED.

Good luck and sorry I if couldn't help you.

You'd have to be 17 here in texas to do it to your self l, or your mom could just un register you.
