Problems at school-Help will be much appreciated.

you really, really need to graduate highschool at least if you have any plans for a half decent future. i'm sort of generalizing here, but fact remains that people who don't graduate highschool end up heading down the wrong path if you will..

I agree with the poster above, you'll never, ever regret graduating highschool. Endure the shit for two more years, and then take a year or two off and work if you want, or do whatever. When you are ready, head into a "real" job or land yourself into a community college or something.

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!

i take it you arnt popular or have very many friends here is some advice

make some friends
stop whining about how shitty school is and make it fun
stop being so jaded
stop whining
school is easy
school is not as bad as you make it out
millions of kids go to school and get through, unless you are as smart as my dog you should be able to make it
dont drop out, employers have 0 respect for a dropout with a GED, sure some places will hire you but less chance, plus if you tell people you have a GED instead of a diploma they automatically assume you are a dumbass loser (no offense to anyone with a ged here.)
Finish school and go to college, college is actually fun the classes are interesting and the girls are hotter

i can add more if you want

Highschool is the pinnacle of failure in the American education system. You are not supposed to learn anything. It is constructed so that the people of lower intelligence can keep up with the watered down material, thus suffocating anyone of moderate intelligence. Your best bet is to go with the flow of the system, but make it interesting for yourself. Opinions are supressed so express them! Critisize everything. Question everything.

Do not participate in any school related programs though, this will only waste your time. Create your own extracurricular activities like reading or poetry or music, something that will possibly give you something useful for your future. Get a job. Not those bullshit fast-food/grocery types. Do something that goes against the grain of your typical highschooler. Work at the library or maybe a nursing home. This will give you a positive environment in the sense that you are around mostly intelligent people, or you are helping persons in need, etc. Save your money, ask youself if you really need that pair of pants, or if you really want or need that CD. Save your money I can not stress this enough.

Don't worry about love or friends, it's like Void mentioned, they are most definitely going to grow stale after you graduate anyway if not years earlier. I have outgrown most of my old friends from middle school and early highschool or they have dropped out and are still at home living on their computers.

Other than that simply concentrate on self-discovery and other interests you may have because there millions of things you could find interest in that will never be acknowledged in school.

I dont agree at all, Sounds like a typical person who has no understanding of a GED at all

high school sucks the big one. you really just gotta try to make it out unscathed. sorry to be repetitive but you just gotta finish it. anyways, some of the shit you learn is useful later, mostly writing skills and general knowledge of current events...school expands your vocabulary regardless of the subject matter and makes it easier to impress colleagues later in life. im a senior and i hate getting up for high school more than anyone, but i taste freedom and i know that college is gonna be a much better environment.

plus i don't know how it is in your school, but in mine once you get to be a junior or senior you get more oppertunity to choose your own classes, and you can make your curriculum more applicable to your life.

good luck toughin' it out.
