My problem with school isnt what theyre teaching. I absolutely love science and social studies, I dont really like English, and I think some math subjects are utterly useless (why the heck would we need to know how to factor an equation for a parabola) but I dont mind the subjects too much, theyre tolerable most of the time. The problem for me is the environment. Stuff 1000 teenagers into a building, things dont go well. The hallways are battlegrounds with no winners, and constant threat of some bozos starting a fight, the bathrooms are unusable, the fact that some mean people are in my classes makes me extremely nervous when I have to present in front of the class. More than that, though, school feels like torture for people who want to learn or just what to succeed, and like paradise for bullies. It all makes me extremely antisocial and stressed, and everything about me got worse when I went from the sunny pastures of elementary schools to the overcrowded hallways of middle school. My grades, my work habits, my social life, everything. I feel trapped here, and with the school year so close to being over right now, its like Im begging to get out of this cage to get to high school already, to the point where Ive simply stopped caring about not doing work in classes and not caring about what I could be doing better for myself as a person either. It feels like Im waiting to be set free from middle school to get to high school, but deep down i know that nothing will change. Im gonna be trapped for four more years with these people and this system that doesnt care about its students goals, only the countys standards. Personally, the only redeemer of middle school for me is Orchestra. All the people there I know, many of them since kindergarten, and I feel like its the only class where nobody else is judging me since we all learn and practice as a group, even if Im not as good as others. Still, I feel like nothing in school ever goes right for me, and every day theres always one event that screws up everything good about the day.

It is Friday November 11, 11: 34 its been the wORST Friday of my life. AGAIN!
Im was so sad today at school I almost cried over 5 times, and my friend (I dont know if there my friend or not, they barely talk to me, she doesnt even talk to me like she talks to her actual friends) was really mean today when I wanted to sit in a certain chair beside her. She was all like you could've just sat right there tf while doing some mean hand gesture/body language that shows that they are annoyed/ I was on the verge of tears, then quiet lonely girl keep saying move when she is the one getting in my way, purposely and she judged me when I tried to do my own thing while tryna pick up my notebook with me feet- And then obese gurl judged Me for doing my own thing covering my notebook with paper so no one can see me drawing- I wanted to leave so bad I listen to a class go fast subliminal just so I can leave but it was slow. I ignored my friend cuz I got really annoyed by her and I had to sit alone in science class. This made me relize I have no friends I hate school sm

I'm in grade 10 right now, and on my graduation day, I don't think I'll feel like I accomplished anything. In my grade 9 farewell, people kept telling me congratulations, but tbh, i didn't even feel like i really accomplished anything. In my 10 years of being in school, all I've been doing is following instructions from teachers, so I don't really feel like I've done anything for myself. Every single day, I feel forced to wake up early in the morning just to be told how i should spend my time and to follow a bunch of instructions from an adult that doesn't really know much about me. I feel like my time is being wasted, and I just wanna use my time to better myself and find my passion, but school is a distraction. I wanna take a break from all of that stuff and just work on myself, you know. I don't like being told how I should spend my time.

When you go to school parents thinks yeah she/he will have good grades thinks that everything you do will be perfect but when i go to school i think my energy is draining and i had insomia because of it. But why do our parents do not understand parents reason: your just to YOUNG. Young? I'm literally a teenager trying to get good grades! But parents still call kids and us teenagers lazy and there second reason is i'm an adult i understand than you i've been insomia, anxienty, depresion,
And trust issues especially us students puting a fake smile just friends to see if your ok but they don't know that we have feelings too right?
One more thing WHAT IF THE KID commits SUICIDE? who's fault thats huh WHO'S FAULT THAT? i've been also having ADHD and panic attacks

The most used excuse for school being a burden to students is If you didn't go to school you wouldn't have friends
1. Friends are not always peers
2. Without school you have your time making friends and avoid befriending the wrong person because you felt shame for being lonely
3. In school you are criticized for not having friends or having certain people as friends
4. You can meet people like you in places you like going
5. You can be easily manipulated
Just remember that having friends isn't essential for a student. It's better not to have friends at all than have bad friends

Im 14 and Im realizing that when I was younger I was so happy and energetic and had time. Now, Im caught in a loop of waking up too early, back hurting and stress, baggy eyes, falling asleep in the shower, slouching while walking and barely being able to stand(no exaggeration, too sleepy all day, and how school turns people into sleep deprived zombies basically. Im always tired now and hate spending my childhood like this so badly. I just want to make memories but all I can think about is how school is making me feel. I literally cant remember the last time I felt like how I was younger.

School actually is a cause of our growth stunts because it underestimates students by believing they shouldn't be thinking about this or that when they should focus on school at that age. They don't teach children to grow up but teach them to be robots. Realistically, a teenager at the age of 13 are capable of work and school lessons at middle school to high school are just irrelevant to our lives. If you teach them work, good risks, to research, to analyze researches and to be street smart in their teenage years, most would be successful before they even reach 30.

I think there should be a site where all the students can share their probs with each other and help each other coz school doesn't care about us. We must seek help ourselves before we get messed up more by the school. Or maybe there should be a some sort of community unlike school where we can learn and study whatever we're interested in and surround ourselves with the students having same passion or interest as us. A community where you won't be judged, discriminated or bullied. it may also be beneficial for those suffering from anxiety n all

I wish school would actually consider that the students arent robots and that we have emotions and a life outside of school. They teach us useless rubbish we dont need and it doesnt prepare us for the real world. The use of exams and tests only put stress and pressure on the students which destroys their mental health. And they get punished for doing bad in a test or exam. In the real world, were gonna make many mistakes and that is the only true way to learn. School teaches us that making mistakes should be avoided at all costs. Just rubbish

Because of school training me that being talked to one on one means your in trouble has made me cry twice in front of a teacher just checking on me after falling asleep multiple times and being too anxious to ask for groups. Just as soon as i leave a room after a teacher tells me to, anxiety spikes and i start tearing up, even when i know nothings happening. My teachers are great, but my anxiety makes me feel like i make them think their horrible at their job.

I used to get sick a lot in skl and it makes me miss out a lot of days. So when I miss all those days I got intense low self esteem, stress and anxiety. And the first impression I get when I go to skl is that the teachers might be thinking I just dont like school, because I never actually demonstrated fainting or intense pain in front of them. So it all made me a bit mentally unstable. I just want to get school over with

School has nothing to do with the real world. They don't teach you how to live, just a bunch of useless crap. School prepares you for college, college prepares you for a job, none of these 2 institutions prepare you for life. If they did all the kids will be questioning our world and realize how terrible and dysfunctional it is, and will want to change that in masses, and that's no good for the factory slave masters.

Could it be that School is is just a mere emulation of the real world?
teacher--boss
Lots of homework--lots of job work
Very limited Autonomy and social life--not a great ton of free time for passion
Tons of stress, insomnia--Also tons of stress and insomnia
Good grades, academic points, GPAs--Paychecks, benefits, paid time off

The problem isn't school. Its you, always has been. You never try and improve mental strength to do these things that was never supposed to be easy. Your weak, thats always been the truth, you rather play games or go on social media then doing what has to be done, you screwed your brain with all the distractions and temptations

I feel like the reason students are stressed at school was not because of homework and learning, but it's because of exams and grades. Most students feel stressed because if they don't do well in exams and don't get good grades, it'll affect their academic performance and they might think they're a failure

School is often considered a positive place where students can learn, play, and make friends in a safe environment. I've forgotten everything I've learnt so far in school, I barely have any friends and it's the only place where I'm always looking over my shoulder because I just don't feel safe.
