Man, my live is real bad at the minute. I hate school, completely hate it. There is nothing I like doing there, and despise every minute I spend there. I wish I could just leave (but I'm 14 and am in Year 10). They've sent a letter home to my parents about my attendance record now.
If I could, I would get home schooling. What's worse, I have my mocks, then my GCSEs coming up soon. I dunno what it is, I'm just not bothered about them. I don't care what marks I get - but my mom and dad will.
And no, I'm not getting bullied or anything, but sometimes, people laugh at me on the odd occasion, and when I have any days of school they make jokes about me.
I am constantly busy worrying about school. Can't stand it.
I'm majorly stressed and I'm taking it out on my family, shouting at them etc.
If I had one wish, one single wish in my life, it would be that I could leave school - with GCSEs or not. That is what I long for every single minute of every day.
I am at an all-time low in my life, the lowest I have ever been. I just can't be bothered with everything.
I've put up with his hating of school since Year 1 of schooling, for nearly 10 years I have held this secret, never told anyone, just put up with it - gritted my teeth and bore it. But now, it's just getting too much.
I just had to tell some people, I can't keep it secret anymore. My parents feel bad coz there is nothing they can do about it. You probably all don't care about this, but I had to tell someone.
Year 10 and 11 are very important years - so the stress is understandable. I was lucky - I enjoyed school - but alot of people dont, and I cant imagine having to do something I hated every day, for 11+ years.
Speaking as somebody who has finished school (GCSE's, AS and A Levels passed) all I can say is there is light @ the end of the tunnel. School isnt forever. At worst, you can leave at 16.
Not every job requires a stack of GCSE's and a qualifications portfolio of 200 pages.
Mechanics, plumbers, electricians etc etc etc all make good money - and you can become an apprentice.
What is it that you dont like about school? The people? Not learning about anything interesting? Or is it that your mind is always on things you would rather be doing - like selling domains?
Just remember school is only a small part of your life - it isnt forever.
Yeah. Well, quite frankly, I don't need my GCSEs as I want to start my own business. I know I'll still need them, but it would be nice to get some incase I have to start off with an employer.
Don't wanna be a mechanic, plumber etc.
What don't I like about school? It's boring. Nothing to do. Much better things I could be doing - like making money from design or getting projects to make more money. The atmosphere. Just everything really.
well, you'll regret hating school because now i might not be graduating.. i've always hated school lied to my parents saying i did my home work.. had 4 F's 11th grade first semester because i just slept in class, had 1 F's the second semester... i'm not a druggie infact i never tried drugs, i dress normal, but i'm just lazy and a quitter.. and i've been a quitter ever since i quit baseball, i hate doing something that is hard or i dont understand.. for example i bought a $40 book for PHP and i quit because the chapter i was on was about how to make a form mail so i quit, i quit on Visual Basic because i didn't understand it and i was jealous of all the programs people made.. i do make some stuff, but i still dont understand it very good, more examples are with photoshop, flash mx, dreamweaver mx, fireworks mx, html.. so i can only fail one class this year and it looks like i have a 47.8 in Government (F) and a 57.9 in US History (F) which US History is a credit that i need to make up for first semester of 11th grade.. i'm now a senior if you have noticed and i joke around that i might go crazy/suicidal in the very far future because i think i'll hate my job and my life.. but i go on the computer 24/7 because i enjoy it, my friends ask me to hang out and i'm just say "no thanks, computer is calling my name" but i do go out sometimes.. wow what a story :X
i'm trying but its so damn hard, finals are this week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.. will a diploma still be good if it takes another year? and DeVry University came to my school and they said you dont really need good grades :X
BTW: My average in high school was 60-65, but I got through, picked it up a little
got serious later and voila - now I teach at college. NEVER would have thought it
could happen, but I NEEDED my "paperwork" to make it happen.
Paperwork is not a necessity in the working world BUT it is definitely a needed backup if something happen. It is always nicer to have backups just like when you have hosting. You'll never know when things happen. I'm an university student myself and truly understand how is it like to not like school. I've been through the high schools, parents' stress, peer pressure etc etc, everyone did I'm sure. It's part of your life, you can't run away from it. Try to relax yourself, suicide is the worst choice you'll ever choose in your life, don't do it. We make our choices, we choose to be stressed, to be happy or to be sad. It is all about you and how you see things. Look at your school in a different perspective. Look for something enjoyable in school. Like friends in school? The tranquility in school (well, not sure about anyone else, but that's part of what I enjoyed the most in my high sch)? Your teachers who always give you a cookie as your treat for good marks? Try and achieve something in school, try your utmost best! And you'll see a whole different picture. Your teacher will be nicer to you, your classmates will look up upon you, your parents will feel honoured for you. It'll be a way more beautiful world than to slack and waste this opportunity. Schooling is a once for a lifetime opportunity, I know many friends in their mid 20's who regretted their choices not to study hard when they're younger. Seriously, you will regret.
Things will work out just great if you're willing to try,
Flora.

Sorry to hear you're having the same problems I have. Last week (Thursday and Friday) I was suspended for being abusive towards a teacher. The week before that I had an after school dentention for an hour (I get one every 2-3 weeks or so), and I have non-stop calls and letters home. I, not only take it out on my parents, but also (mainly) the teachers. I'm in year 10 too.
I can't stand school - although I don't mean to hijack your thread, just wanted to say you're not alone!
Well, thanks for the support guys. Made me feel kinda better - almost. Gotta go to school tomorrow, all the teachers'll have a go, but I guess it's a "grit your teeth and bear it" moment.
Well, only another 1.5 years left I guess. Just gotta put up with it. I'm not going to college, no freakin way. I know it's qualifications, but qualis aren't that necessary when you run your OWN company. The sole reason I need qualifications is in case my business fails - which I'm gonna work hard for it not to happen!
Yeah, just try hard & give it all you've got. Once your done highschool, you'll see all that you've been through, and will be proud.
Just put in the extra effort, and I'm guaranteeing you, it'll MORE than pay off.
School is there to teach you the basic skills you need in the future. You may think that the stuff you're learning is not relevant to the real world. But in fact, IT IS! You may not necessarily notice it, but in the future, you'll implement what you've learned in school without even knowing it.
Why else do you think that schooling has been going on for generations. If it didn't help or wasn't needed, it would've been stopped long, long ago.
So, have confidence in yourself, and work hard.
You WILL succeed!

i have a problem, i'm afraid to speak out in class because i dont want to look like an idiot.. for example 2 weeks ago we had to do a group project and present to the class why i think the Supreme Court should have done with HazelWood High VS. Principle, this was for my government class and after class i told my teacher i didn't understand what i was suppose to do, so he told me to find it in the book and it will help me.. so i did, and the Students lost against the principle because it wasn't school related and i said "well, i wouldn't want my personal life in the news paper" and my group laughed at me and said it was wrong.. so yeah never speak out in class
I never used to do my home work, and I would still get 90's and 100's on tests and quizes, but when report cards came out my grades were bad because of not doing the homework. About half way into my Junior year I finally started doing my home work and got good grades. Try taking classes you like and are easy, I found that computer classes and tech classes are the easiest, art would have been good too but my teacher didnt like me, lol.
Hey will7 for a lot of people school can be a problem. It mostly because of soem other problem in life. Propably you've gotten a few bad grades and think you can't do better. I don't know what the problem is but there is one. You say you shout at your family and stuff that's not a good thing buddy, your family who only looks towards your betterment. Ever though of going to a pysch or something. Maybe we could take a little more. I'm no pysch but I kinda know how you feel.
When life gets you down, just f**k it. Take a day or two and just do NOTHING. Clear your head. I know what you mean by school being boring and seeming pointless, etc. I can just tune the teachers out and do whatever I want in my head. Then somehow I get 100s on everything. Crazy how that works, hunh. ANYWAYS, my point is, if you are starting to lose it, take a break! It's like running a really long race. You have just kept on running at full speed, not doing anything about it, and now you've just about passed out. You need to take breaks from everything every once and a while.
last year in 11th grade i took a Computer Programming 1 & 2 and got B's both semesters.. they were easy and next semester i might be doing Web Design or Graphics :P
I'm in the UK, and I took ICT (it's our ONLY computing course) and thought it would be good. Now, I find out that we make websites with WORD (they can't even be bothered to install Frontpage at least, it's free!). We also do database design - with Access, isn't THAT bad, but PHP/MySQL would be better and more effective in the long run.
Yeah, I spose it is kinda like a race. Well, gotta go to school now, time to just grit my teeth and bear it (may favourite saying in this thread!!). With me luck, I'm gonna need it what with all the teachers having a go, and the kids for that matter.
Iam 15, 16 in may and if I have learnt one thing man, Puberty sucks. Its under rated because so many people go through it, but it still sucks and I can relate to you.
But you have to cease the moment, make the most of what you have, and dont dwell on the past, you wont regret it man.
I had a lot of problems in school when I was young, to the point of getting out, but I did take the GED and went to college and did very well. Have never regretted it. Not sure if they still offer the GED early anymore though. At that point it was 15 was the minimum. Something your parents would have to look into if they can accept the fact. My parents were very upset when I told them I wasn't going back at all, but fortunately they understood and helped me work it out. Until then, hang tough...
No matter how much you hate it,getting that high school diploma is ESSENTIAL in today's world,even if you don't plan on going to college or university.
I'll recommend a book,The Teenage Liberation Handbook....try to get a copy from your library or something.....you do have options.
Remember....you are the C.E.O of your life!
in the long run Will, how much is it going to take out of your life? and extra 2 years at the most.
your ONLY 14, you still have so much to learn and to do, if you leave school now, or give up on school completely, you are throwing away all the time you have already spent there.
not only that, a future emplyer is going to think twice about employing a 14 year old with NO qualifications.
what happens if one day, you have some sort of accident happen to you or another event that stops yuo from what you really want to do and you have to find something else? You will have litterally nothing to fall back on.
I hated school, every minute of it and was glad to see the back of it. but now im a little older i did have good times there, lots of them and would love to be back there as a 14/15/16 yr old for just ONE more day!
Cheer up mate, in the long run, a an extra 18 months or whatever you have left is not long at all, yr 11 will fly by, yr 10 for me was just difficult, it is probably the hardest year for me but it is nothing compared to being out in the real world, school is easy, life is hard, enjoy it whilst you can.
Well, here at college, Organic Chemistry, Physics and Linear Algebra are all driving me crazy and upset But, since I want to be a scientist, we got to go through it... So, think about the future always; school is needed, albeit maybe boring or hard. My problem is studying properly for those three hour exams... by the time you're midway, I sometimes forget another formula or find it difficult to solve the problem(s). Just relax and make sure you do more practice in solving prob's than reading them
