[@jynmi88]: I'm pretty sure that still requires parental supervision before college. In most (if not all) first world countries. Can't do it on your own. You can play hooky, but not necessarily drop out.

And... Fine, I'll cede there. But my prior point remains.

Uhm..  Where did you find that?  I googled it and although some states in the us allow people to drop out at sixteen with written parental permission, a few allow for someone seventeen to do it on their own, and a great deal more have no problem with someone dropping out at eighteen on their own.

So would either of these fix things to your liking?  
1.)  I make Abigail's age 18
2.)  I have Abigail forge a letter from her parents.
