    I started school two weeks ago, joining a program that I tried really hard to get into.
    I tried so hard because I hoped it would help my future career, but my family said it wouldn't. Now I understand why they said that. It is exactly like regular highschool, and the only reason I'm in that school is because of that program.
    So if I drop out of it I go back to the school I'm supposed to be in.
    I'm thinking about doing that.
    I had this set picture in my mind of how this year was going to be, how I was going to act, who I was going to be, and threw away all of it.
    But if I start in the other highschool, I can retry to fit that set personality.
    This is why I want to drop out of the program, but should I?

    Any thoughts?

    What kind of person did you want to be and how come you have been unsuccessful in being that person?

    What career path were you trying to pursue in this new school and why isnt it working out?

    Well... I've always wanted to be the strong silent type.

    I want to become a Veterinarian, but the program I'm in is not helping at all. :/

    So how is the current school failing you?

    How will the other school NOT fail you?

    The current school just disappoints me, and I've been labeled as loud and annoying.

    I want to be the silent type, and if I switch schools, I can try again.

    I don't really see how you can get yourself intentionally labelled the silent type, or why you would want to modify your behavior to fit into some per-concieved "type".
