For how long do I have to go to school?
But I graduated from high school before I turned 18. Do I still have to go to school?
It could be. In Louisiana, once you turn 17 you may withdraw from school before graduation with the written consent of her parent, tutor, or legal guardian. If you are being raised by someone other than your parent, that is probably the person whose consent you will need.
If you want to leave school because you are having problems with the school you are in, talk to a responsible adult (parent, guardian, school counselor, social worker, lawyer) about other choices you may have. For example, if you are being harassed at school you may have legal rights that will help you make the situation better.
If you are between 16 and 18, you may be able to get out of your regular high school to go to an alternative or a vocational-technical education program.
