It’s never to late for him to go back to school and regardless of the reasons that he was initially expelled, I commend him for going for his GED or for him wanting to get back into school. He should be supported in his decision to continue his education no matter what. You as his girlfriend should want that to…it will only help his future along.

In regard to his GED, once he completes these preparation courses, he will be ready to take the GED exam. The time frame can fluctuate.

Additionally, he can possibly either return to his original school and discuss things with a counselor there or he can continue with the GED prep coursed. Also, depending on where he lives he may have the choice of completing an equivalency diploma program. It’s like going back to school but in a different setting. In this case he wouldn’t have to take the GED exam. This choice will take a little longer but may be easier to complete than the GED.

you are all still young. no its not ever too late. back in the late 80’s i was in stuttgart germany as active duty military. this guy in my unit had a young wife. when she came over they enrolled her to go back to high school. before she graduated she got pregnate and still completed for her deploma. never too late to do something great. and you never know whom he might impress to stay in school just by the power of his actions to go back and do it. good luck to you all. never get in his way of his education experiance. in fact join in. i know you both would enjoy it. best things on earth education, God, excercise and family. Not in that order.
