I only got K-8[\6] (I'm not a highschool dropout, thank you, I just never went in the first place) so I've got no idea what people learn when they're 14.
Homeschooled! The status-preserving term is "homeschooled"!
For the people who got Thiel Fellowships, the status-preserving term is "stopped-out".
Heck, at that level even "drop-out" works as a form of counter-signaling.
Homeschooling is what Christians do. I'm an autodidact.
One thing that I've always wanted to ask you, but for some reason never have, is what kind of form your autodidactism took. Did you just read books (if so, what kind? Textbooks?), did you get a tutor, did your parents help?
I think it's a good thing you didn't receive more schooling. I'm an autodidact, too. I wish I had embarked on a self-education journey sooner. Reasons.
