if i had to answer honestly it would be my friends, they've helped me get through a lot more then my books have. but at the same time, my education is also very important, because it's what will get me a job. so in my opinion, i think there should be some type of balance between the two, especially since getting an education in high school would tire you out a lot and put stress on you if u didnt have people to wind down with once in a while.
