I was about that age when I left scool. I think I was a Junior when I quit. I took a correspondence course in writing. Later when I was in my fifties I studies and went back and took the GED. I got married for the first time when I was 19 and had my daughter when I was 20.

I was 17 when I graduated from High School. It was because I started a year earlier than other friends at school in the very beginning.

I was 17, but it was because when I started school you had to be 5 by the time school started in August & my birthday is in October.

I was seventeen, and I finished in January, although I waited to march in May. I know in the south they sometimes started kids to school younger as well, or they did not have kindergarten. You went to first grade at five.

I was 17 when I graduated which was strange because all of my friends graduated at 18-19 years old. I liked being the youngest though... =)

I was 17 when I graduated. I also just got my drivers license right before graduation I was very psyched to have a car and that bit of adult freedom.

Since my birthday is in September, I was one of the youngest people in my high school graduating class. I was seventeen years old when I graduated from high school.
