Poor girl. You can learn to code, web development, or any kind of those hard skills almost anytime at your life phase, but man, your highschool life is just once, can't miss that..

Honesty, I don’t feel high school is doing me as much good as DevMountain can. Yes, high school will offer me the opportunity to spend 7 hours, 5 days a week with people my age, but I don’t enjoy the company of the vast majority of them. And yeah, I won’t be able to go to high school dances, but I never planned to. I’m not a huge fan of spending the night dancing with a clammy hand boy I don’t particularly like. It’s just not my thing. Dumb movies with my friends on weekends? I can do that whether or not I’m enrolled in school, and that’s how I would care to spend time with my friends. So no, not poor me. I’m quite a lucky kid (:
