Knowing what I know and how much I hated school, too, I'd say go for what your heart tells you. There is such a thing as getting a GED for high school. If it doesn't work out, you can always go back. You have to do what feels right for you. But in doing that, you also have to have your future in mind. I have a responsible, well paying job. But I wouldn't have that without a high school degree and passing tests needed for college, in case my employer wants me to take new courses for my job. I just don't know why people have to be so inconsiderate here. The same people that make threads for support from us.
