Love your post well written brilliant advice
Coming from someone who has made upwards of 800k-1mm total throughout my internet "career" I would say a G.E.D. is very important.
I dropped out of high school at 16, went after my G.E.D. and from their have been pushing links and traffic since. Don't let people's ideas of what success is hold you back. For a long time I was still holding a 50k/year job working at various call centers and companies. I gained a ton of experience during these times, and it's nice knowing your bills are paid even if you're IM profits are non existent.
I remember making 5k/week in high school sleeping through class thinking I make more than my teachers. I've also had dry spells of MONTHS making 0$, money can motivate and demotivate you. It's a double edged sword. If you think all your problems will be "solved" with money, think again. Figure out a solid game plan/strategy and focus on it until you reach your first milestone (should be 100$/day). Work your way up. PUT ASIDE TAX MONEY. Register an LLC. My recommendation is to get a regular job, even if part time in the industry you're working with. Intern at SEO companies, work at entry level IT call centers, immerse yourself in your fields to become knowledgeable and eventually an expert. This pays huge dividends later in life.
I'm in my 30's now. I've been through exactly what you're going through. Now I make enough to allow my wife to finish her masters and intern full time, my 1 year old son has had the luxury of eating lunch with his father everyday.
Keep hustling.

Hustle? You clearly know nothing about hustle, as evidenced by your post. You couldn't even handle the hustle of finishing high school (which most people manage to complete by the way).
Thanks for taking the time to reply multiple times, you clearly have a lot of it on your hands despite claiming to be hustling all the time. I really like how you are talking about holes in the desert too. Thanks for proving me right Dorka.

Well, this was definitely one of the most amusing threads I've read on here for a while.
You've got to be a troll... surely...

For the mods: threatening a person with death is a cause of ban or no?
Gorka, you come here on the forum, then:
- you say you will make money: like everybody here
- you say you will make A LOT of money : why not
- you say you want to quit HS: so you are young, but you may be a genius
- you say you want to buy the forum with the money you will make: O.K ....
- you threaten people who say things you don't like: well, well, well, ... you are on BHW here, people may tell you things you don't enjoy, like the truth. And if you are upset by what you read on a forum from an unknow people you won't ever meet, well, you are in troubles for later.
Hint: there is a thread from paranoid android:
http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...7306-my-journey-5-million-end-dec-2016-a.html
He wants to reach 5 millions dollars in 1 year.
It's crazy.
But when you read his thread, you understand he may make it. That's the difference with you.

Hey, why did you create this topic in the first place? I think it shows a sign of weakness as you titled your thread, "no one ever believes me". Before I say anything more, take the time to understand the following quote:
"Why haven't you ever seen Lamborghini commercial before? Because the people who can afford them aren't sitting around watching TV."
In comparison, most wealthy people aren't sitting around watching TV (or in your case, wasting your time on a forum) There's nothing to prove here and I feel as if you and everybody else that replied on this topic is just wasting their own time. Others above gave you their opinion and advice. What do I have to say about that? Fuck anybody's opinion about you, whether they say you're stupid for dropping out of school, or whatever the situation is. It's your life, period.
Have a good one,
Awavekid

If I were you I would read the profile of people who are against you. They are among the most successful in the business. They have long experience and they know what they are saying. I totally disagree with what you did... whether dropping school or quitting your job. You took the easy choice and you made it like there are only two options.. Go to school or Do IM ! I graduated architecture school, working as demonstrator in the university. I am doing my Master.. And I am doing pretty good with IM. I even write my own programs, bots... every month I got job offers in Architecture and Job offers from companies in IT ... So, who said you can only take one path !

Let me tell you something that's very likely to happen to you. Disillusionment. I know where you're coming from and I've kind of been there and I can tell you for a fact that currently you are quite naive (which is to be expected at your age and level of experience and is not really a bad thing and is surely something you need to be blamed for - it's only natural).
You will see that not everything can happen as easily as you are hoping and that many plans that sound great when you imagine them, don't really work out in reality. Reality is a bitch! That's why investing everything and not having a plan B is quite foolish. You are putting yourself in a position where you could spend all your money on things you expect to get a return on, but if something goes wrong, you will have to call your mother for help with rent and/or food and if you were mature enough, you would not allow even the slightest chance of that. That option should not be on the table, period. You should not be concentrating on investing all your savings, you should be concentrating on making money with small investments first. Make sure you have a positive ROI and then scale that SLOWLY. There are many people in this forum who have shared losing-it-all stories and I've seen some first hand. They pretty much always go the same way. You have some success (usually with luck playing some part) and you think you know the whole game and attribute it all to your awesomeness. You start investing in all kinds of things expecting to get success again, but things are not that easy the second time around and you are suddenly losing money. And before you know it, you're left with no money.
So start small and please don't invest all your money! Make sure you have some money in the bank to live for some time and start working hard. Forget the big plans. Millions will come only if you first make hundreds, then thousands, than tens of thousands and so on. So don't let dreams of millions cloud your current judgment. Even if you are doing great right now, you have no guarantee that you will do equally well with this huge project of yours. When dealing with something that big, only invest money you can afford to lose.
How much have you made from IM so far?
So please, take this warning into account and start developing a mentality of a pragmatic workaholic, not the one of an extravagant m(b)illionaire. There is the reason Kanye West is begging for money
You can thank me later

Srsly, what's up with all the "drop out of school" posts? Now, I don't know you or your situation OP but why is it that you can't pursue a career in online while still being in school? It's not like school takes all day, especially not high school. Why burn your bridges?
I admire your ambition, but it would be wiser for you to speak with your actions, rather than your words. I get the impression that your doing all this 'big talk' as an excuse as to why you're in the position that you're in. You're dreaming big, but what I don't think you realize is that it takes more than that. It takes hard work, motivation, and also the right niche of intelligence. From the information you gave, it doesn't appear that you have any actual work ethic, or the intent of getting anything done. And also, I'd hate to break it to you, but given your responses and intentions of your comments I get the impression that you lack common logical reasoning. So that's 0/3 of the essential traits that you have.
You need to think realistically if your going to do anything in the real world. Personally, I don't believe in you. But why should my opinion matter to you?

I can definitely relate to this. Thanks for the pick me up. People around you mean well, but they cannot see the ideas and opportunities that you see.
