Well, you haven't specified how old that "teenage drop out" is now, and how long they've been out of school. Several great answers have already been given, such as the ones by . . . well, all three of the first three I was able to review before I came here to answer you. I would disagree, however, with April W on her recommendation to pursue a GED. I have seen NOTHING positive or beneficial come from a GED, except maybe to boost the "student's" bruised or malnourished ego, but employers aren't all that excited about hiring someone with a GED when they could hire someone with a highschool diploma from an accredited highschool, and, quite frankly, it is an extremely poor substitute for the diploma. Tech schools or trade schools may be good. I know my son has considered them since he has returned from Operation Iraqi Freedom for the second time, and, despite I'm thrice graduated from accredited universities, and much more academically inclined than he, I have to respect that "academia" isn't all it's cut out to be, and many trade schools more accurately "fill-the-bill" for employers' needs than do four year liberal arts colleges / universities. But, in brief, my answer to the teenage drop-out is, drop back in, whether you go speak to a highschool counselor or visit a trade school. Just drop back in. I can tell you as one who has hired a few professionals in my career history, that piece of paper we so often belittle is more important than you think, even if it's not specifically related to the job you're pursuing. It speaks to an individuals tenacity and loyalty, and we as employers pursue that in applicants. It's a desired asset, so, as I said earlier, tell that teenager who dropped out of school to drop back in. It's easier than you think. It's the "hanging in there" that's the tough part. God Bless you.
You might want to go to a tech school and get a GED if you're older. There are advirsors there that can help you. If you're younger, then talk to the high school counselor. They'll be happy to have you back, so long as you're earnest in your desire to graduate.
You need to talk with a counselor at your local high school. I believe most districts have a maximum age for attendance, so check that first. If you are unable to return to high school, check into community learning or enroll in a GED course (the school counselor should have information on both of these options.) Good luck and welcome back to the world of education!
Talk with the counselor of the high school. Be prepared to "eat crow" about quitting. Be honest about why you quit and why you want to return. If you are sincere about giving it your best, you will probably be allowed back. There may be some probation time.
Get a GED
Then get into a community collage. For two years making sure that what you take can transfer to a 4 year school. Then in 2 years go to collage.
It can be done many have.
You can get a GED even if your under 18 and start collage early.
