(1) I'm not ridiculing you; I'm trying to help you.
(2) I'm not talking about your defunct high school; I'm talking about your opportunity to go to college for free, and the social growth you'll experience there
(3) If you're afraid that you'll fall into the supposedly 99% of conformity, then you're really letting situations control you, instead of the other way around.
(4) By equally educate, I mean giving yourself the breadth of knowledge that college does give. There's nothing more important than well rounded education and experience, and that's a very difficult thing to get staying at home behind a monitor.
(5) I'm not saying you can't get 99% of that on your own, but I somehow doubt you'll find the motivation to do so
