By junior high, I was a horrible student. But during my sophomore year of high school, I did have a fabulous English teacher, and I would go to school just for her class and then skip out afterwards. That's actually when I started writing, although I didn't think of it then as something I might someday do.

I ended up dropping out of high school at 16 and getting kicked out of my home. My parents told me, sadly, that because I was so disruptive to the rest of the household, that I could no longer live under their roof.

I pretty much bailed on high school. I mean, I graduated, but I wasn't even there for my own graduation.

To be very honest, I never thought I would graduate from high school. I got very lucky to get into an alternative high school, which really saved my butt.

I was a strange kid in that, while most kids hate school and want to turn 18 or 21, I loved high school.

I went through high school, but I didn't graduate.

I dropped out of high school four times between the ages of 12 to 17.

I never finished high school. In fact, I hated going to school.

You never grow out of high school sadly.

I didn't go to high school, and I didn't go to grade school either. Education, I think, is for refinement and is probably a liability.
