I consider it important, but I would not like such importance is abused for different purposes than educating one to be a good human for a small community, at least and education costs too much. I would like to decline and completely quit "high" school. If I turn out to be your problem, then you should overcome it yourself instead of building a fence around you.
What I think is "fine" to you ? Your opinions please

You sound like my daughter. You shouldn't limit your choices in life at such a young age.

I'm struggling to understand what you are saying here. Are you trying to say that education is important unless it somehow prevents you from being a good person specifically in a small community?

And that you believe that your high school education is preventing you from being a good person in your small community? Following on you think that people will have a problem with you if you do drop out of high school?

It is incredibly difficult to determine what you mean, I respect that English may not be your first language but please take care when writing to make sure you are being as clear as possible.

It seems that you think that education might make you a bad person. Why do you think this is the case?

I didn't get the "building the fence"-part, though...

It's PF's most notorious crackpot sockpuppet, he has maybe over 1,000 banned sockpuppets so far. I didn't just want to have your posts disappear without an explanation.
