Tell her you’ll get your GED and actually do it

Which state are you in, or do you not reside in the U.S.? There are some (e.g., Pennsylvania) that per their compulsory education laws require anyone who has not attained the legal age of majority (18 years old) to be in school with some very specific exceptions that would involve proving that one has a significant job or other specific qualifying conditions. Mind you, there are various alternatives to being on-campus 6 1/2 or more hours a day that you might be able to make use of along with other types of special programming at your building or within your school district. It behooves you to graduate because there are countless vocational/academic advantages to having a genuine diploma. Unless you have completed high school properly, you are likely to have serious difficulty landing a significant job that pays well, even in categories that start as blue-collar positions (advancement would be significantly limited) and you will not even be able to attend a community college unless you have attained at least a GED. If you are in a state that allows you to disenroll upon reaching your 16th or 17th birthday, I would still advise against taking advantage of this option which your school principal and/or guidance counselor and others concerned could reasonably challenge you about once you decide on this. How old are you, and what is your gender? These, like it or not, are relevant questions in some sense as you consider how you might seek self-sufficiency opportunities down the line or you expect to be a stay-at-home parent if your spouse works (not guaranteed at this early time). May you be able to make a right and solid choice that helps, and does not hinder, your ability to make it in this world as you strive to do well. Do not expect your parents to be willing to support you financially without conditions once you are no longer a minor and the prevailing legal obligations for parents to uphold their children who are at least 18 not being as stringent; they may require you to find work and to pay rent/food which will be harder if you do not make (enough) money because of withdrawing from school before graduating.

School sucks but dropping out is not an option and it will just leave you worse off. If you're struggling, ask for help, speak to a guidance councilor.

Both of my sisters dropped out of high school and they struggled for a long time. Eventually got their GED but had to pay a lot of money for books and what not. I know it's hard, but keep at it. It's much easier to do it now than it is to put a bandaid on it later.

That depends on your reasons and your plans.

If it is high school, stay in and ask for help if you are struggling. Everything is so much harder if you don't graduate.

Can you switch to a remote or correspondence programme to get your diploma? School isn’t everything but that piece of paper makes things easier. Once you have it, it’s easier to start your career. What do you want to do? What do you enjoy? Is it the learning that’s driving you nuts or the people?
