Wanting to quit high school?

I hate it so much. Is it normal to wish anything would happen so I wouldn't have to go? When I wake up in the night feeling sick I go out into the cold to make it worse so I don't have to go. Is this normal?

    its normal not to want to go to high school. its normal not to go to work. you know why?... because youre doing the will of someone else, instead of doing your own will, which is against the law of nature for the human being. try to make it thru highschool - as usually it is easier to get a job with a Diploma than without one. is there someone at the high school that bothers you? or is it that you feel like you arent learning anything. is there a nearby vocational highschool where you can learn a trade like automotive, cosmotology, dental assistant, etc?

    Yep. Best you can do is courses you like, don't let parents make you do certain things. My mum made me do th le uni pathway crap and I ended up with depression and suicidal thoughts thinking I was a failure. Nope, I just wasnt doing what made me happy. Live your own life how you want it. You will go amazing places with or without shool.

    you're gonna miss it later when you're too far away to hang out with your friends anymore. spend as much time as you can having fun and doing shit that interests you.

    try to get decent grades but SERIOUSLY, don't try too hard. It's not worth it unless you're really shooting for an ivy league or something, or you're trying for a really academic major.

    When you need time for yourself don't take no for an answer. Teenagers deserve to have lives, man.

    Omg me too. Like, sometimes I just wish I would die overight so I didnt have to go to school! I am a senior and almost half way done and I want to drop out soooo bad. I take ap/honors classes, get decent grades, but I just hate HS like omg. Everyday I wish that school was over and that I was home.. before I even leave home! But if I drop out now,that means that all this time would have been a waste. All of it. So hang in there! We can do it.

    it's normal to not want to go. Injuring thyself is not.

    find out what you want to do with your life, if that requires high school suck it up, if it doesnt drop out, go to a trade school, or get your GED ( if in america) its like a high school diploma equivilant. So yea like i know people who didnt go to high school, very succesfull :)

  • I Know How You Feel. I Hate It And It Seems Like Most Of My Time From 5:45 I Wake Up And Come Home At 5:10 Is Dedicated To School.

    But If You Get Lazy Now You Will Regret It Because After You Graduate You Will Probably Wake Up At 9:22 To Go To Work And Have And Easy Job.

    It Seems Like Your Going Nowhere But It's Worth It. Don't Drop Out And Think Of It As One Less Day Of Waking Up Early.

    NORMAL. Lots of people feel that way. School sucks sometimes. Who wants to get up at 6am to go learn? Only foreigners. Haha, that was a little racist. No offence. But seriously, it's normal. It's super common
