I finally decided to drop out of college with a current:

31,000 dollar loan in Sallie Mae signature student loans
17,000 in federal stafford loans

I don't understand what "compound interest" means for these. Is my loan debt going to grow while I am paying it back? That terrifies me.

And, would paying just the interest portion of these loans first help my situation? I am horrible at math and that is why I could not complete school.

Thank you.
