I wanted to quit high school but I was stupid and dumb. I only stayed in for sports, girls AND my mom and dad would have literally killed me. Looking back I am glad I finished, even though it took 3 years of summer school to do it. My daughter graduated a year early and was a freshman in college at 17. Is graduating early an option? In my dumb and stupid opinion, I would say graduate because he so close to finishing, I mean heck, you have the rest of your life to work.
