Does anyone else feel so sick of school/homework that you just wanna quit?

Question

I've noticed that in the past two years of highschool, I've become really sick and tired of school. I've started procrastinating, not really caring as much as I used to, and not trying to learn like I once did. It's gotten worse as time goes on, and now I barely do my homework anymore. I procrastinate and it just doesn't get done. I've been an A and B student all my life. Just the thought of doing homework and going to school makes me sick. I watch other people doing their homework in class and I think, "How can they stand to do that?" I know a lot of people don't like school and especially not homework, but this is a different kind of hate. It's like I'm sooooo tired and worn out I just feel like quitting altogether. I'm tired of not understanding things, of tests, of endless hours of homework, sitting in classes for hours when we don't do anything at all, stupid things we have to learn that we'll never use again in life, the years and years of school you have to go through. Help me!

Answer 1

I also find myself procrastinating, and am sick and tired of school and homework. Sick and tired of students who don't pay attention in class, think teachers only assign stupid things to learn, and whine and complain when a homework assignment is given. Going to school every morning sometimes makes me sick, too; and, I am a teacher!

After spending 12 years in high school, four years earning my Bachelor's in Education, four years of attending summer school and night school to earn a Master's in Education, and teaching for over 20 years, I am still required to take courses each year to maintain my teaching certificate.

My oldest daughter earned a degree in Accounting, is a CPA, and is still required to keep up-to-date on Accounting procedures to maintain her CPA certification. My youngest daughter graduated last year with a Bachelor's in Education, and is teaching for the first time this year. Prior to her college graduation, she spent eight years in the U.S. Army, who also required her to take classes.

Education, no matter how unnecessary, trivial, and stupid you think it is right now, does impress the people who will be hiring you later. Don't give up.

Have you considered being "home schooled" to allow you to work at your own pace? Check with your State Department of Education to find out about home schooling. Your parent/parents/guardian, or even an adult friend may be able to provide this for you. Traditional schooling was not for my oldest granddaughter either. She chose to attend an Alternative school, graduated with honors, months ahead of those her age in a regular school setting, and is now in her fourth year of college. She is married, has two children under the age of three, and also provides a home for her sister, who will graduate this May with honors and plans to attend The University of Florida this fall.

Please don't give up on your education. Maybe your parents would let you take a year off, get a job, help with the bills, and rest; then, maybe you wouldn't be sooooo tired and worn out.

Answer 2

Hang in there, it really is worth it in the end. Education is a life long experience and this is the part where you train yourself to learn more efficiently. I'm trying to get into medical school. I already have a degree, but this is academically the hardest thing I've ever done. I had the same problem you did in High School and now I look back and think, man, if I just would have payed more attention in physics class, or tried even just a little in chemistry, this wouldn't all be new to me. So, hang in there, if one day you decide to give University a go, which I highly recomend because its the best experience you can have as a young person, you'll thank yourself for having tried in High School.
