I think at what age should people do what they want. Before you 18 years old, you should study hard, and then, um, try to get into a university. It doesn't mean that you have to have a good way out to get into a good university, but at least you can learn something in the university that you can't learn elsewhere.
Many of my high school classmates also dropped out. They may find it meaningless to study, and then step into social jobs ahead of time, and then get married and have children. Actually, I don't think this is a good idea, but everyone has their own choices. I don't think I approve of such a choice.
I think when I was a child, my psychological age or real age was not mature enough, and I didn't know much about society. If I suddenly enter the society, I will be easily infringed by myself and affect my own interests. Moreover, if I get married early, I may have children, and then I will take on the responsibility of several parents. At that time, I was a younger person myself, and I might not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of my family. I don't think it's fair to children.
So I don't support dropping out of high school. Even if you don't study well, you should study for two years, go to a university, hone yourself well, and then get in touch with society slowly. There is no need to get in touch with society at an early age. I think if I have a child, I will definitely let him finish his studies safely and then get in touch with society. I think this is a person's normal trajectory.
But some people may not think so, so I think it's better for everyone to have their own choices and feel good about themselves.
