Just because you want to stay a teen/in high school? I mean, it sounds like a good idea in theory, right?
Is it a good idea to intentionally fail your senior year of high school?

That's actually a very, objectively, stupid idea.

What Mr. Dictator said.
That idea is just completely stupid and shows how short-sighted many kids are. My Dad's the exception and not the rule dropping out after 10th grade; most dropouts end up in dead-end jobs in an information-based economy, and don't get to start that nifty small business.

I am a genius. Someone should just fail and get held back like 50 times! God, I'm going to write a book about my idea!
That book would be as insightful as Twilight, and probably sell just as much.

Better. This would be like a New York Times best seller.

How did you know I sort of got my idea from Twilight?
That means you have one less year working at the end of your career when you would expect to be near the peak of your earning power - that year of fun could cost you >$100.000
Also your friends would have moved on - you would be the repeat student trying to make new friends when everyone else already knows each other.

Maybe because the creepy, probably gay stalker of a character called Edward actually can't move past the age of 17 in life so he permanently is in what would be the senior year of high school, at age 109. Then he falls in love with a 17 year old, which is pedophilia in most developed nations around the world, if I ventured to guess. I mean, sounds awesome to me, as long as you're not glittering like a gay stripper every time you see the sun.

1. You will be a moron and pariah for failing Highschool for no reason.
I once intentionally failed a year of college so I could... well, basically so I could switch degrees. Long story! Now I am probably going to do a PhD in that subject, so I don't know if this is always bad. But that sounds like a really really bad reason to fail something intentionally.

No, you're GPA will suffer so much that it just wouldn't work out when you apply to college.

Why would you do that?
My friends who did it, really regretted it.
If you're not ready for university, take a year off to work. Make sure you get a hard job, though. An easy job doesn't prepare you for university.

This is quite honestly the worst idea i've ever heard. And take that from someone who almost didn't graduate (I slacked off a lot in 9th and 10th grade but got my act together in 11th). Some of my friends didn't graduate, and they aren't exactly what you'd call happy.
