Is my boyfriend a liar?

[Janice Johnson]

My boyfriend told me that he dropped out of high school, but that he has a high school diploma. Is he lying to me? He said that he got it from a school called American High School.

[Janice Johnson]

He said diploma.

Maybe he went to night school?!?!?!??????????:confused:

Ask him, cuz that doesn't make sense. Ask him how he got a diploma if he dropped out. It's quite a trick ;)

Good point, or he could have gone back :confused:

Yeah, maybe it was night school or some correspondence course to get his G.E.D.

No, he probably wasn't lying. you can get a diploma by mail, but you have to take the test to get one, that's how my sister got hers.

I dropped out of high school and got my G.E.D. and am now going to college. But unless your boyfriend was only subtly teasing you, I say he's full of it.

Just ask him to show you his diploma, then you will know for sure if he has one.

Sounds sensible to me. But then again, what do I know? I got my G.E.D. :D

Well I have a friend who got a "state diploma." It's suppose to be closer to a high school diploma than it is a G.E.D. My friend techincally did drop out of high school but did courses at the college to get the "state diploma."

If you drop out of school you can get a diploma through a homeschool high school. That's what I'm doing, but I didn't just drop out of High School. I decided to do homeschool after Junior High. You get a proper diploma, class ring, and everything. It's the same as a regular diploma- just you're doing the work at home. My b/f dropped out of High School also, and that's what he's doing to get his diploma.

I would have loved to have had the opportunity to study at home. I probably would have gotten much better grades and it sure would have save me a lot of grief and trauma.

American school is a home study course. ;)

I got a GED too. What school year did you drop out of aka?

The test was incredibly easy, almost too easy.

I dropped out senior year when it became abundantly clear I wasn't going to graduate without going back for a second senior year.

And yes, the test was very easy. In Washington State, they make you take it in two-day installments. If I remember right, they give you three hours each day. I was done within about an hour and fifteen minutes both day. It was a cinch!

I have to say, though, that it looked like other people in the room were struggling pretty hard with the thing.

Just because your boyfriend dropped out of high school doesn't mean that he still can't get a diploma.

I didn't finish high school, either. I was "administratively withdrawn" my senior year, not because of grades, but apparently my school has a problem with never coming to class. :spit:

But yeah, I only had a credit and half's worth of work (a half year of speech, economics, and english) to get my diploma, so I finished through homeschool courses.

He said he went to American Academy. In a previous post, I put American High School.:) ;)
