Why do I hate school?
It's okay to hate school: There is nothing wrong with you.
FORUMS - Come talk to other people who hate school as much as you do. :)
This is a support site for students who can't stand being forced to go to school. We are not telling you to drop out, rebel or do anything in particular. What you do is your decision and yours alone, we can just provide support and information for whatever choice you may make. What works for one person won't necessarily work for everyone. The point is: the choice is yours to make. And if, for whatever reason, other people refuse to let you make that choice, you will always find someone here willing to listen to you.
14 Good Reasons why School Sucks & Things I Hate About School:
- School sucks because if you don't like it, most people automatically think there's something serious wrong with you.
- School ruins learning. In school, learning is all about memorizing things, answering questions, and writing loads of crap on topics you don't care about.
- Because you're forced to go there, and if you want to try some other alternative, you need to get parental permission first. School is essentially pointless forced labour without pay.
- It sucks because people expect you to treat school as the most important thing in your life. Nevermind what you'd rather be doing.
- School sucks because once you're done, you'll probably forget 90% of what you "learned" there and burn all your books anyway. All you'll be left with is a diploma stating that you survived 12 years of hell. And very few people (besides your parents) will even want to look at it.
- Because talking to your friends is a crime at school.
- It sucks because even if you're bored out of your mind, you'll still get all the blame for not participating in class.
- School suppresses independent thought - if you disagree with the teacher, you're in trouble. If you dare to think of a new way to do something, it's automatically wrong.
- School sucks because if you do what they say and do all your work, you don't get time off - they'll just expect even more from you in future. And someone who cheats on their work and tests can just as easily do better than you.
- School sucks because life is short, and you'll never get that time back.
- School makes everyone around you panic over the smallest little things that none of them (or anyone else) will care about a few years down the line.
- Even when you go home, school invades your life by giving you homework as well.
- It sucks because even though school has all these problems, if you mention any of them, you'll be the one they blame, no matter how right you may actually be.
- School sucks because every now and then it does something useful for someone, and then everyone goes all "Look! That's proof that school is good for you!"... It's like getting free ice cream in hell - it just doesn't quite make up for all the other stuff.

imagine wasting 12 years of your life going to a place and putting up with bullshit like learning meaningless crap, and submitting to garbage authority and rules. then you earn yourself a diploma that basically says you survived 12 years of bullshit. Now you just wanna fuck off and do whatever the fuck you like. But no, you need money to survive, and you need stable living jobs, because surprise surprise, cost of living is too fucking expensive. everything cost money. so you have to get a job, but how? unless it's slaving away for 10-12 hours flipping burger for life, you HAVE to go to college, putting up 4 more years of bullshit to earn a bachelor's degree, which is STILL not enough to be accepted for a decent job. WTF. What's next then? another goddamn 3-4 in Master's Programs and MAYBE 2-3 years in fucking PhD/MD. Only then you have a decent chance to have a payable job. And it's only once you attain that good paying, should you have a well-defined status, money, and a title to be remembered by society.
This whole system is fucked up. literally just SUBMIT TO OUR SYSTEM OR GTFO AND DIE IN IRRELEVANCY
im done with this school crap

The english teacher makes up lies about me, she gives me these things called step forms for no reason, step forms are technically meaning you get written up, she written me up just for logging on my school computer and it showeed minecraft on the screen and that was a step for me 3 steps means go to principals and i said i couldn't help it if minecraft was on the screen fuck the teacher and the kids annoy me and she lets them talk trash about me but once I say a word I get in big fucking trouble jusut for saying one word yet they say like a ton of words and dont get in trouble and my teacher never helps me and gives me F's even though I have been trying and she gives everyone except me help so she needs to fuck off absolutellty hate her that mf
