Okay. Obviously you have not read a lot about torture.
Education is not the same as torture. This public school education you are receiving is a gift. This gift will help you prepare for a future where you can work in a job, earn pay, and get benefits like health insurance and dental coverage.
Like any gift you can keep it and use it, or throw it away.
Read the blogs from some of the people who live in other countries where they do not receive the gift of education. Then decide for yourself.
When you develop a little more maturity, you may appreciate the opportunities you have. But then, maybe not. You can always sweep streets or clean toilets.

You go to school so that later on in life when you learn that you can make more money then the rest of us and not have to worry where you will be coming up with rent for one month to the next and you can buy just about what ever your little heart desires, and possibly have a job that you want and be able to be picky about it rather then doing some kind of job that you need just to make ends meet.
It may seem rather endless now, but in the long run believe me you will be happy that you put in your time, because in the working world they expect more out of you for less money, so you definitely need to make sure you are qualified to earn the kind of money you want and may actually need....Maybe even going to college....
Enjoy it now, because depending on what you do today, you may end up looking back in the future wishing " If I only did this or that "
The saying " If I knew then what I know now " is so true you never really realize it until its too late.

After the American Revolution (1775-1783), the founders of the United States argued that education was essential for the prosperity and survival of the new nation.

We need school because it is not like the beginning of time where everyone lived roaming the land of this world planting/preparing/cooking etc. their own food and making or finding (caves) their own shelter. We have evolved and advanced, so we started to trade and barter, to where we now sell, use money, in a civilization with law and order.

cuz there's millions of people out there competing for jobs and they take the ones with the education. school always felt like torture but believe me, u will have lots of competition out there and u need all the preparation that u can get now. just look at it another way, school is trying to help you succeed for a better and wealthy future.

In exchange for living in society, where (presumably) we are protected by police, fire departments, and medical professionals, as well as sheltered, fed, and clothed, we must have jobs so that we can contribute to the continuation of that society. When we're young, we don't know enough to have an independent job yet, so they start training us so that we will be ready.
Don't like it? That's okay, sometimes people don't like working.
But if you're feeling really bummed out about school, try doing some research into the standards of living in places where school isn't required. I don't think you'll like what you see.

The purpose of school is to give you as many open options as possible for your future. Use this as a time to examine what you do like.
I would suggest finding something at school you do like. Do you like sports? politics? organizing school functions? Do you have one subject you do like that you'd like to learn more about and can take electives in?
Find something at the school, which could be a school-sponsored club, a team, a group of friends doing something, or learning more about the subjects you do like. This might help you enjoy school more. It will also give you something to put on college applications or job resumes in a few years, and could teach you some skills.
Someday soon you'll be making decisions on how to spend the rest of your life. Use this time to give yourself as many options at that time as you can.

Dont you want to make something of yourself, with out an education, you could end up living in a cardboard box under a bridge, you would not be able to make any sense, and you still wont be able to make any cents.

Well we go to school because you need to learn. If you don't learn anything then how will you be able to get a job?

Well, you can either go to school or you can learn the following:
"Do you want fries with that?"
