education and my plan in the works.

I'm in high school right now and I'm doing what I can to get an education but at the same time I have been realizing that there is sooooo much to life.I want to learn through experience with my friends about this world and I can't seem to keep all my grades at a decent area while at the same time learning what they don't teach in school. My parents are starting to think that I'm starting to become a delinquent because I hang out with friends who are very hip and I was caught twice with marijuana but the connection they can't make is that marijuana has made me into a much better person than I've ever been in my life and I've been good to everyone all my life. My plan is to graduate high school if it's possible and go to community college for a few years then buy a van, pack up and hit the road to anywhere. I also want to put up a tent in the woods about walking distance from a small town and live out in the wilderness.I feel like I can't tell my parents this because they don't know that I'm as serious about this hippie lifestyle as I really am, I think they think that it's just a phase but this lifestyle has really drawn me in.I'm afraid if I tell them they'll freak out. What can I do? Any suggestions.

 

What is a hippie lifstyle? Going off by yourself is not doing it, man. You need to better the world by contributing to it.

 

I know, I have no intentions of isolating myself that is why I want to live in the forest within walking distance of town.

 

Well dropping out of school to pursue a life of walking the woods and toking would send any parent into overdrive. I hope you rethink this.
