dropping out of college

im one half term in and i already feel like dropping out of college, the stress and deadlines are just too much and i feel like i cant get a level 3 qualification no matter what i do and that im destined to only have my gcses. that isnt necessarily a bad thing however itll be harder to find a well paid job without any proper work experience. my dad says that if i can find a job (which i doubt i will because im 17) then i can drop out of college. he also convinced my mum that i just have to attend college for the rest of the year, i dont have to pass anything. then i can drop out. i wont be able to move onto the second year of college anyways if i dont pass. my dad is also going to try and convince my mum for me not to attend college next week because of my mental health.
one thing that really concerns me however is the fact that im going to be wasting this year on college instead of doing anything productive. whats the point of staying if i know that i wont pass because of my mental health? the work is too hard for me.
