Top quality forum content. You have a very mature way of portraying the issue at hand.

I was in a similar situation and I did drop out of high school to sustain myself and my younger siblings. For 10 years i worked my ass in rather shoddy jobs for minimum wage. I did helped my sister's to finish they'r studies and then they went on to live their lifes. In the end, you will be burned out, poor and possibly without friends because working and taking care of a household takes way more time then you possibly think. Im doing great now, still with only basic education, yet i have alot of certificates for different positions in heavy industries. Still, it's 10 years down the drain. Unless you're literally starving, finish your damn school. I know they're probably teaching you worthless things from your POV, but as people stated, it's not about the learning, it's about the diploma you get, because without it, many possible gateways to better life will close to you. And i always feel like a fool whenever someone asks me how educated I am. Dont worry about being the new guy, you will be the new guy several times in your life, especially if you will work low wage jobs.

I highly recommend the series, the writing style is rather similar to Dune, wich wich i reccomend as well. I would even add Roadside picnic, tho it felt a bit slow for me.

My native language is Czech and Slovak, though I use Czech for the most part. I am really lurking here for 5 years. I just dont ever comment or join conversations online, since I dont see the point (who cares about random people's opinion). We dont use apostostrophes at all, youre right on the other things. On my defense, Im typing this on a phone while at work. I will try my best to use correct typing on this site from now on. I will struggle with the apostrophes though. 

Thank you for your quick reply, it has made my day. I was a bit afraid that I would get ridiculated.

PS: sorry for the overuse of the word I (am), the budding writer in me will work on that.

Hello. So... I was always an avid reader,ever since i learned how to do it, and to this day its still my favourite form of escapism. One day i stumbled upon an book, yet it was also a game. I was amazed,to be able to live through the story,not just witness it... That day a passion was born. I think i own most gamebooks wich were published in my native language,or at least those pre 2000. Then one day,the books ran out. I searched for another library,one wich wouldnt be limited by being physicall,and on the 8 page of google search,i found this lovely site. My first storygame here was Eternal, cementing my stay here. I mostly lurk,since i dont think i have anything worthwhile to contribute, but i am toying with the idea of writing something to repay back to the site. So maybe someday,ill get grilled to oblivion :D anyways,thank you all(especially EndMaster) for this wealth of stories. Oh and sorry for any grammar errors
