Is it normal that I hate school and this system we live in?

  • First of all, why would you draw all over the books instead of the notebooks? I don't get it. What is so difficult about respecting the learning materials?

    Now that that is out of the way, the reasons you go to school are to learn how to work with others, write well, do basic math, get a better global picture, find new interests, problem solve, and think. Additionally, time management is a huge lesson to learn as well. Just because logarithms may not be part of your daily life doesn't mean that you don't learn how to work with others on a group project, problem solve, and think in that process. School is all about learning skills that can be translated to almost anywhere you go in life. It's not necessarily the material that is important; it's more about what you do in the process of learning that material.

    • First of all, I have OCD and ADHD so that may be the cause of all that drawing.

      Secondly, the only group project I had in this three years was about English. Which the others failed miserably by not applying what I said. They didn't care about what I said because I was new in that school. So in school I have learnt how to not trust anyone in the workplace. Thanks, school.

      Also, please read this.

      • Why not get a 50 cent notebook or sketchbook separate for drawings?

        You may not think you're learning anything, but you will learn important concepts if you just open your mind, and right now, your mind seems to be fully closed off. You are in charge of your own learning, and you have tons of resources at your fingertips.

        You did learn a valuable lesson: not everybody wants the same thing you do, so to succeed, sometimes that means you have to take things into your own hands. There are people you can trust; the people in your English group weren't them.

        In addition, that article isn't accurate to every single school. There are great schools. There are less great schools. However, it is all dependent on your cooperation and attitude. If your attitude sucks, you're going to have a sucky high school experience.
