Who ever said High school will be the best years of your life they deserve torture! Im in the tenth grade right now and school is a bitch. Im taking 6 classes in which have no influence on my fellow students and I. No impact of knoledge at all. So i've taken back the habbit of skipping classes, which i only used to do for fun but now its diffrent. I do it to get away.

I find it hard to sit and have to listen to my teachers 5 times a week when i could be learning something useful. Now i would understand if i had the desire to become a pharmacist, in which i would stay in chemisty class, but i dont, so why should i take it? Basic learning they told me! Okay, so i took the class, i've seen the basics, i've come to the conclusion that this isent my path. Still, I must pass the class, study this subject(s) which i despise, in order to graduate and get a well paying job.

I've thought about the possiblitys that i have. Other options so i dont have to endure this pain int he ass called school. Theres always night school but i have special needs in learning and i dont think i'll be able to keep up. If anyone can give me any reasuring news that helped you or is helping you please oh please write bac. If you do i shall love you forever. Thanks!

Stay in school!!!!! its the best advice there is

I totally know what you mean. I'm in high school, too, and yeah, it totally sucks. But eventually you'll have to get a job, and that'll suck too. I'd say just tough it out and try to get into the classes that you like and just try to get by in the classes that you dont. Don't drop out of high school, economically, it's not a good decision.

Alot of the learning that we're doing in high school is learning how to learn. Like learning imaginary numbers in math. I mean, you'll probably never use that unless you're a physicist, but it teaches you skills that when you need to learn something for college or for a job, then you know the process.

I know it sounds like I'm just spouting BS, and school totally isn't for everyone. But, just do the best you can, and try not to cut too many classes...it catches up with you later.

Well...my mum doesent want me to go to school anymore. Mostly because the envirenment. Because its really not one for learning. Too many walls in my opinion. *shrugs*
So its not really up to me even if i wanted to stay in school, although who can tell. Im still trying to be patient, wait it out, see what comes.

Awill, about skipping, ur so right! Although it dident really hurt when it bit me in the ass. Got 1 day OSS. I explained exactly why i haddent been in school and my parents understand. I still have no regrets to what i did, and i'll probibly do it again.

i started college and totally took the wrong classes...i know the system here is different, but I dropped out, took 2 years out, got a job for the first then went traveling for the second....

....when i finished school i had NO idea what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.....so i thought instead of going down the wrong path and only noticing wasted years later id do somthing I always wanted to do and travel.

So i started reading books while I was away.....got REALLY REALLY stoned for 3 months and decided i knew what I wanted to do.....

So i came back and applied for college got in and 3 years later im still really enjoying it...

I kinda agree that school is not for everyone....but if you put your mind to it you can get through it....If you find a job that you would like to go into and you enjoy it, then it isnt really like work at all....well it is work but its the type of work where you wake up and look forward to going to......you know?

although I was also told that going back to studying would be extremely hard and unlikly cause once you are earning a significant amount of money you wont want to stop getting paid.....however I really enjoy extending my knowledge as much as I can......and also learning

sorry if that doesnt make sense.....lol....

All the best in whatever you do dude

Sounds like someone is not being properly challenged and getting bored. Or possibly worried about being gang raped under the stairs. Consider a parochial school or possibly homeschooling. Most parochial schools will give you a break on tuition if you can't afford it...especially the catholic ones. Do whatever you must to get your Hs diploma, then go find yourself.

No offense hon, but if your mom doesn't want you to go to HS she needs a swift kick in the ass. Or is it just the one you are currently going to?

Stay in school.

It sucks I know, but in the long run you'll be glad you did!

I droped out High School because of my hearing problems, Now Im going to adult school trying to finish so I get my diploma and move on with my life.

and hold a full time job at the same time.

OK, I am a tutor, so I'm biased- but stay in school, anyway! You hate chemistry? Do you want to grow hydroponically some day? That's chemistry! Math is a real drag, but you will use some of it, at least, in everyday life. It also teaches your mind to be able to solve problems. You also will need to know metrics (I learned mine by how many ounces in a kilo and how many grams in an ounce- dope was a great motivator). Biology- understanding how a plant or an animal (like humans) works is good to know. My dear, high school IS a bitch,( but college is a whole 'nother story! )Yet in the long run, it is better to put up with all the BS and seemingly pointless classes. The real world is tough and unless you have at least a high school diploma, you life will be tougher than it needs to be. I went to a continuation school and it was the best thing that happened to me when I was a rather troubled teen. The teachers there actually cared! Please don't give up on your education just because you have some "less than excellent" teachers. Look into the night school, see if your school has a tutoring program and join a study group. By the way, I'm old enough to be your Grandma and I smoke every day! Second time around in college (good connections there), I wrote almost every paper stoned and graduated with honors! LOL

[dopesmoker]

you could consider homeschooling.
I've noticed that it all depends on the teacher. I have a great teacher in math which is my least favourite subject and i dont mind it now. But i have a bitchy strict teacher in English which is one of my better subjects and it completely takes away my motivation to do work. See if you can transfer to a different teacher.
