10 Signs School May Not Be For You

The fact that she had said in the survey she needed help and received it shortly after from the school’s counsellors is proof enough for me that most students are given the resources and opportunities that they need by the school for help, and if they still don’t get help that’s most likely not the school’s fault.

@tattiboi It’s also good to use common sense when doing so - and using the technologies provided by our earthly lords instead of dusty-ass textbooks all damn day. Well-rounded doesn’t sound good. In fact - that word makes me queasy just thinking about it. If you know everything you need and WANT to know already - what’s the point in expanding the knowledge when you’ve already assured yourself you’re fine at the moment? You could learn anything you wanted and stick to that one thing your whole life and be fine. That’s what happened to one guy (his name wasn’t recorded or I dunno his name anyway). One doesn’t simply learn because they feel it is right - rather because they feel the NEED too. It’s a proven fact that people perform better while not being told what to do 7/5/9/13.

Textbook lessons are nearly always tge last resort/ substitute lesson. And if ure talking about using ur phones that is possible but its really risky bc they can be rlly distracting especially with the internet now Also no, its good to know as much as u can so u can be prepared for life which hurdles as much as it can to ur face. Its like a head start instead of a last minute. Like would u rather learn how to for example solve problems before they come at u (or have enough exposure to them so that u hace a solid idea) so that ure more prepared or would u rather face that same problem with no idea how to solve it and have to stress start from lvl 1 when u could've done it earlier. Its called thinking ahead. And if u only learned things bc u needed to/ bc they were problems that came in ur way, ppl would be really divided bc we all lead different paths and run into different problems so do u think its best that we were separated into groups or have enough knowledge and relateability to pretty much be with anyone. Also we can't rely on kids especially teens to just learn what they think they know. They dont know what they want. They have ideas but strong or not they dont have the cognitive ability to assess them and act on them safely. We kind of just want to have fun. But for some kids they do feel the need too bc they know the significance of education and their future.

In elementary school, only one teacher in the entire school actually did anything to help me against my bullies and I’m almost 100% sure that I have social anxiety because of it. Honestly, my middle school was better simply because it treated us like actual people with dreams and aspirations and was so welcoming. That’s it. Besides maybe a few interesting concepts in certain classes, there’s nothing interesting or useful. I honestly just feel bad for some of the teachers at this point, they hate it as much as we do, yet they have to “follow the curriculum” so we end up stuck with it. For anyone that says I’m whining, I’m not. These are serious problems in our education system and while some have it better or worse than others, I can say as a near straight A student, that I have no motivation for school and I just wish the system would improve...

Since I left school for JUST 6 month’s I started loving to read books about financial wisdom. Now... 8 months later... I am more safer on my finances than most students on high school / university EDIT: 2 years later. I still tried different colleges in the meantime and still find myself loving to learn but not to go to school. There’s a danger of not getting a decent job without a degree, but I recently got a job offer on university level. So there’s hope I can quit my university at any time and noy even worry about the consequences, as long as you have some relevant job experience and a good amount of motivation and sometimes you’re set.

That's exactly how I feel. School "teaches" the "necessary" things that are, according to them, "what you need for a good future". A good future shouldn't mean going to school. The reason I say that: A good future to me means that you have succeeded or at least tried to do good things. A good future means you have done at least one good thing you wanted to do and a good future can start at any time. I have been told before that "I've hardly had a life" and sure I'm only 16 but I'm old enough to decide on what I want to do with MY future. A lot of my family have told me I'm "just a pathetic child who has no idea what a lot of things mean". Yes I'm telling the complete truth when I say that. They're always ordering me around and telling me I have to do certain things and that I "don't get a fucking choice because you're [me] just a child". I feel like a lot of people have turned against me in my life so far purely because of my confidence in believing in freedom and independence. A lot of people have told me that I HAVE TO go to school and get good grades and anyone who says otherwise is blindsided. I have come to realise that a lot of people have succeeded through other "methods" than going to school and getting good grades but I feel forced to go to, what will in less than a week be, college because otherwise I feel like I will have let my family down and wouldn't have lived up to what they wanted me to be although I KNOW I shouldn't have to be what someone else wants me to be. If someone could give me advice about this then please do. It would be greatly appreciated. :)

I seemed to excel in every other area outside of academia, so that really chipped away at my self-esteem. To the extent that I was planning on taking my own life in my sophomore year of college. If school is not for you, It doesn't matter how hard you work, how many hours you stay up studying, getting tutoring or doing extra credit work, you will most likely always fall short. You can't force success in something you weren't made to do. Find something you're good at, be serious about it, and you'll find that you can thrive in ways you couldn't if you were spending hours in a classroom.

Once you're a couple years in high school you slowly start to realize half of the things they're teaching you don't mean sh!t and will never mean sh!t to you. And the worst part of it is: it's mandatory. No matter what kind of job you want to have, if you don't forcefully learn things you will probably never see or use again, your efforts will mean nothing (I don't know if it works the same in other countries, but where I live, if you don't get high enough grades (less than 5, basically don't fail the exams or you're dead) on 3+ subjects, you have to go through that same grade all over again while all your friends move on to the next). I'm on my last year before college, I've had to put up with stuff like math, physics and all the things I don't give 3 cucumbers about ever since I started school; the basics are important, obviously, but why on Earth do they have to teach us what exponential equations are? Why dig so deep into those subjects and make them mandatory for everyone? I'm not a science person dammit! And half of my class isn't either, yet we all have to go through that. Right now we're being taught geography (fun stuff, we're on the humanities branch which is supposed to be about history, literature, art...) Pretty useful, huh? Especially because I have a passion for languages. The school system is pretty messed up and once you realize how pointless everything is there's no turning back... Things you are not supposed to care about as you grow up will affect you negatively now, and that sucks big time.

And if you know your subject well you have a better advantage over people trying to compete against you trying to take your spot. Even if you don't go to college you're still gonna have to develop skills others won't be able to match otherwise you'll be a Jack of all trades but master of none.

He was nice and all, but as the years went on he would yell more and more, later we found that he has Bi-Polar disorder, and would smoke around me. He even had my mom go back to smoking inside since he would. And when I turned 12 Mom found the term Gaslighting. Please look it up, it's very important. And a little bit before that I had drawn myself hanging from my ceiling fan and my friends were saying "Good ridence!" And my step-dad had spit on my corpse. My ghost saw this and was crying, and in 7th grade I moved into my grandmothers house and had to change schools. My friends had found that I had posted a video with music drowning out what I was saying and a depressing description. I had told one of them before about the depression, self hate, and suicidal ideations. They hey had told the school counseler and I was tajen to the hospital. I had spent 9 days there until I was allowed to go home. I had joined a group counseling session and met new kids and saw my old friends and a kid that I had met in the hospital. Okay, so now to a bit more recent times. I moved again and found myself in a new school and my joints hurt more and more. I had a small group of friends and people to talk to. But bevause of my EDS I had to carry my school things in a luggage bag. And eventually Mom took me out of school because I had started showing signs of worsening depression again. So now I'm homeschooled until the new start of a school year, turns out I also have PTSD and anxiety from my step-dad, I take medicine to help me, and I'm taking care of a beautiful black cat.

I’d love to drop out of school because I know for a fact that what I want to do isn’t part of the curriculum.

But my parents would murder me if I did so, they are hardcore believers that a good grade equals to a good life.

Knowledge is power, but experience will be more valuable when you obtain it.

[@XxEveCodeEmpressxX]

Maybe pursue a degree that leads to a well-paying job first. At the end of the day, you need to find a way to get a roof over your head independently. Making comics and plushies are completely fine but it's very difficult to get recognition and gain a profit. In my opinion, it's safer to pursue those creative fields with a good back up plan. You said you're somewhat talented in drawing, perhaps you can look into fields like graphic design. Sure, it isn't as "appealing" as studying to be a doctor, engineer, etc...but it's still a degree that can make a decent living and you might enjoy studying it. This is all just my opinion. I'm currently working to get into the design program at my university all the while planning my comic when I have free time.

[@Vlidery13]

Same here. After graduating high school I wanted to be a writer. I told my mom and she was like: "You could get a degree in something else and still be a writer." Sometimes, I wish I never listened to her because what I wanted to be fits my personality better than the major I chose.

I remember when I was in first to third grade I had such a creative mind. Every time a put a pencil to paper I would draw swirling mazes, intricate maps, and dazzling images of animals. There was this one time where I drew a blue whale and it amazed my fellow students how much detail was put into it. But my biggest creativity lied in the words I put on paper. A teacher would come up to me when I needed help on my story assignment but instead of helping she would show it to the principal and then the principal would read it to the whole school how great of a writer I was. But in fact I wasn’t a great writer at all. I just had an imagination. It turns out that once you grow up teachers would just bombard you with homework, tests, and assignments, not giving you another chance to show your creativity. And when they do give you writing assignments, they don’t incorporate any creative at all. They tell you to write about something that you don’t even want to write about. Days after days my imagination gradually faded away as I never imagined anything anymore. What was once me visualizing an image and putting it on to paper became me visualizing tests and putting words on paper only to end up failing. “You’ll do better next time” they say. I want everything to be perfect since that’s the mindset they put into me. #fixtheeducationsystem

So I really hope that your right.

[@gizmocat11]

Alexis Lyle Yes and no. It depends how you look at it. Things were stressful right after graduation, but that's because I wasn't able to secure a full time job in the beginning. Sure, things are more carefree in school, but your actions have consequences later. Learn how to budget while you're in school. Know how loans and interest rates work. Get as much work experience as possible to be a more marketable applicant. After a while, you don't miss the stress of constantly staying for exams every few weeks

Being bullied literally ruined me, I have a terrible self image, and I can't take a picture of myself. It's been about two years since I've taken a serious photo of myself. School didn't teach me anything really, other than I'm worthless. I learned programming in the past year, and now I'm a game developer. And along, school didn't teach me how to write good, and spell good. I taught myself this shit. Yet, school made me wanna die.

College is more open for attendance but by skipping high school you’re in a sense stabbing yourself in the leg and blaming the knife and not yourself. Even as a soldier you still need skills in Mathematics, English, History and other core classes. I get that some classes don’t fit your needs and you would 100% do classes in which you forget the second you pass and never have to worry about again. The issue with agreeing that school is a joke is that you don’t realize school is not made for only you but many others with many career interests. Some people will find useful skills that you wouldn’t need and vice versa. Simple as that and saying school is a joke is ignorant to the idea of others and even yourself

I can attest to the stress that early mornings in school put on you. School started at about 7:30 for most of my school life. Combine that with not knowing exactly what you want to do in life and the toxic environments of most schools is a disastrous combination. I finished O levels but just couldn't take any more shit, so I didn't finish A levels. I told the counsellor that I was suicidal (still kinda am) and the school handled it poorly, no separate catch up classes, no part time school - nothing. It just made me feel like an outcast because ALL the teachers we're treating me different. So now im out of school with next to no friends, I'm struggle with suicidal thoughts, depression and anxiety. And am dealing with constant existential crisis which comes mainly from not knowing what I want to do in life which I should have figured out in school. *Sigh* I know it's off topic a bit, but it's related and I'm just sharing my story . Hope this helps someone out there..... Somehow.

I'm in the exact situation as you and have been for almost 4 years now. The last school I went to was a charter school and they didn't let me do part time school nor tried to help me in any way (the students there hated me too because I was too goodie-two shoes for them just because I wasn't having reckless shitty sex and smoking pot) so my mental health just got worse and worse until I didn't go anymore. I could definitely go get some medical help right now and force myself to a community college to get a GED/high-school equivalent diploma which is what I'm in the process of but after that? I have no fucking idea. I know what I want in life: a beautiful Mediterranean style house in either Florida or California, great amazing friends and lots and lots of wealth. I just have no idea how I'm gonna get there. When I dropped out I barely had any friends and just recently lost the only person I was keeping contact with irl. The only friends I have now are online and the closest one is in another state. I'd feel much better in my situation if I had someone irl to talk to but because of my agoraphobia I don't go out and I pretty much lost any social skills I had before. I can still carry a conversation, just that the social anxiety is so bad I hate introducing myself to people and first impressions and all that. I can't even say goodbye when I'm making phone calls because I forgot how to properly conclude conversations, it's tragic honestly lol. I wish you the best though because being in this situation is no easy task. My biggest fear is that I'll be alone for the rest of my life with no friends.

If it gets too bad PLEASE get some help. I have a few friends in the same position, and let me tell you it breaks my heart.)

I'm really good at school, in fact, for the most recent standard exams I got the best results in my age group, but I just don't think school is for me, I feel like it's useless and I don't get the point of learning all this stuff, cause it doesn't have anything to do with what I want to do in the future

[@fanglingthegreat]

It's totally the same to me. I am living in Europe in Germany and I have always had really high grades in all subjects, last year I was even the best in my year. But in this year (which would probably be in America somewhere in the middle of High School) it is all feeling just so... pointless. I feel like I'm not learning anything relevant any more except in maths and science classes (and I neither wish to pursue a career related to science nor to maths/computer sciences) as well as in Spanish classes (but this is more of a hobby and not mandatory, as I've already learned French and (guess what) English at school; also, this is my very first year of Spanish, so there is a lot to learn). Since I love languages and language learning in general as well as politics and economics, my dream is to either become an author one day or study law (okay "study law" sounds probably boring to most of you guys). However, due to school I'm very often lacking the time to really settle down and just write. And concerning my wish to study law, well, I know that school really is preparing you well for that kind of career. But I am slowly getting the feeling that I already have all the necessary skills required to study law and school will not teach me anything else that is going to help me prepare for that. In history, geography, English, German, French and Politics we are currently doing the very same things we have done so often before but on different topics, so to speak we applicate the same structures over and over again on different areas (can u say that? :/) . So I feel like I'm going to school just so I can absorb needless facts that won't help me in any way in my future. Meanwhile, I'm constantly wondering "what is the point of this exercise?" , "why are we all still here?", "why have all my favourite subjects suddenly become soo annoying??" and (my favourite) "WHY DO I HAVE TO LEARN ALL THIS REDUNDANT STUFF AND WASTE 3 ENTIRE YEARS BEFORE GOING TO COLLEGE TO STUDY? WHY CAN'T I GO TO COLLEGE IMMEDIATLY ????" I have actually talked about this with one of my classmates (also an aspiring author or web designer) and she totally agrees with me. School does not give us enough room to explore our potentials and guide us along the way like it should be doing it. Instead, it is forcing us to learn needless things and do stuff we hate. I agree that school is a system which works for most people, because without it, some students would do nothing at all all day and be lazy. I also agree that school is necessary to some extent, for I think we all should have basic knowledge in all subjects and I believe that Math is something we are always going to need as it is needed in surprisingly many areas of life. But on the other hand, I strongly believe I could study much more efficiently on my own in many subjects, as I'm very well aware of my personal strengths and weaknesses and I know where I have to improve and where I have to/want to look into. But unfortunately, my school system is also not flexible and stuck, so in order to study at a university, I'll have to finish school. (YAYY -_-) I just believe that to so many kids out there school would be a lot better if they were only taught in subjects they like and which actually help them improve their skills (so specializing on certain subjects should be done much sooner), maths as well as other subjects in which they can learn how to develop certain skills (like learning a new (programming) language, training public speaking, learning how to write a good application and so on) If in your country, such a system is already existing, I'd love to live there ... But our system has a specific advantage: We are very often encouraged to engage in discussions in class and form an own opinion to the issue debated. This is something I have rarely heard of in other countries and in this comment section alone I have read so many comments of people complaining that they have to sit there during class and take notes while the teacher is talking the entire time. How is anybody supposed to think for himself in a school system like this? Must be real shit. Guys i feel u... Sorry about all the typing errors... i'm tired... it's past 2 pm and i just can't think properly any more

Hearing this from someone who did remarkably well in school just shows that the school system needs to change

[@LarryPanozzo]

*_finishes school anyway_*

[@marleneestevez9730]

Larry Panozzo Yes. Because you don't have a choice. When you supported by your parents who want to finish High School and get a university degree. And you see they have an unrealistic view of the world. But you can't do nothing about it.

[@lol-zb8to]

school took all of my motivation away and killed my dream of being an artist. my 10th grade year is almost over and i dont know if i wanna go to college anymore because a lot of them dont have astronomy majors which is like the 1 thing left i care about. i'm probably just gonna go to trade school or something but idk cause i'm kind of afraid of backlash from my family bc i decided to not use the savings put towards college for me but then again idc because it's my life and they're all old anyways. i still have some time left to decide what to do with myself, not alot but there's still some.

[@starrystarstar750]

4th grade logic is absolutely fricking wonderful..

[@thischannelisdead3809]

Honestly I just want to be an artist and an animator, I can take care of myself, I'm 14, but I have really bad social anxiety. I honestly know I wouldn't be able to get any kind of job (due to not being able to talk to people)to save up for college/Uni, so I'm learning to animate and draw on my own. I'm not really learning anything useful in school, and I mean anything I need to know as an adult I can litterally just Google and teach myself! I'm not trying to sound annoying or rude, but it is true- nowadays anyone can learn anything because of the internet. Like if I ever need to go away to another country like America or somewhere (which I WONT because I'm terrified of traveling; I'm happy at home thanks-) and for example I need to know what the change for pounds to US dollars is I can litterally just type it into google and I'll have an answer. And also if I need to go shopping and I need to know how much money I'm spending I can just get out my phone which has a calculator on it? (My maths is pretty bad but hey cant be good at everything) In my opinion, school isn't very useful once you get to year 9. I'd say you stop learning important things once you finish year 8, because after that school is just a pointless mess of GCSE maths questions, poetry revision, and chemistry symbol equations.

Try to finish high school with the least of effort. Put your concentration on being an artist and you will suceed

[@tianfeifei5976]

I'm just like you but I'm 13. Drawing is mi passion and I also want to try voice acting, but school just keeps me so stressed I barely have time to develop my art and voice acting skills. I think the gov is aware of all the people that are unhappy with the school system. But they don't care
