Have you talked to a psychiatrist? I am not trying to be a smart aleck here, but what you describe sounds as if you might have some form of mental issue. All mental problems aside, WHY are you a high school drop out? You do realize the chances of you getting a job that will actually earn you a decent living is pretty LOW until you at least get your GED. Are you enrolled in GED classes? Are you even thinking of getting that? I think you are trying to put the cart before the horse here. You first need to worry about finishing at least your high school education, then , you need to get gainfully employed full time. Buying a double wide or land or whatever is soooo farrrrr into your future. Longer than 2 years.

If a GED is really that important you should of not wasted your time sleeping in school. Is this the same attitude you will be using in Community College? If you can't make it to night school because it's to boring, then try for your GED and make an effort to pass.
There should be no reason for you not to pass it unless your really not interested in and education.
Once you pass go immediately to a College Counselor and let him know you are interested in getting a degree.
Good Luck

Why don't you try to go night school to earn the four credits and then you would be able you be to graduate. If not apply for GED. Thinking about going to community college is a great idea.

It's perfectly ok and a good thing to get you're GED but if you just failed high school it would be much better to just keep going and get you're diploma.

Go for it! If you only have 4 credits to complete, then it wouldn't take you long. If you apply yourself you may be able to get your diploma before the summer is out.
