<prompt> Human: Im 16 years old in Canada and about to drop out of highschool. School has made me deeply unhappy for years, and put me in a state of depression, with an attempted suicide. Ive been working for 2 years, and even though my job is awful, Im happy when I can actually work and get out of school. So Ive pretty much decided Im going to drop our of school. I havent dropped out yet, and I dont plan to until I have a job setup.Im new to budgeting, so I could use some advice. My parents have told me, if I do drop out of school, I can live at home, but Ill be paying rent.Realistically, assuming I can find a 40hrw minimum wage job, what kind of stuff should I be budgeting for?Im fine taking the bus, I can eat very cheaply. A 1 bedroom apartment should be sufficient. Id prefer to have phoneInternet. Or at the very least, Internet.I currently work part time at a grocery store. my first step, is most likely to try and transition into a full time role. Or find a new job, potentially something in construction general labour. Or a basic automotive job.  <response>: Hey.I dropped out when I was 16 and left home at 16 as well. I have spent the rest of my life paying for it. Including a few episodes of homelessness.Please reconsider. If you are in Ontario, there are a lot of alternative education options. At the very least, if you are in any grade 11 classes, please withdraw from your classes before the full disclosure date so that, if you decide to go back in the future, you wont have failing scores on your transcript. Dont just stop showing up. I know its really hard to go to school but after a few years of shitty minimum wage jobs and debt and being broke its really hard to keep going to that job, too. Except you have no choice. Please, just think about it. Get an apprenticeship. Do co op. Go to alt ed. Do online or correspondence classes. Get assessed for learning problems that might make it hard to focus. Join the military. See if you can go to school part time instead of full time so it doesnt weigh on you so heavily. Try school in a different district with different people. Please reconsider. If you really cant do it right now, please, seriously for real, talk to your guidance counselor about withdrawing from your individual classes officially before the full disclosure date, and double check that youll be able to go back in the future if you change your mind. It is really hard to find a full time minimum wage job, even with a diploma, right now. Please think about that.
