and i must learn just at the ones that i need for college

It's not that i don't want to learn just that i can't deepen all 15 subjects that i have this year because i'm in a final year and important exams are waiting for me at the end. Losing time with other than maths and economy can endanger my chances of getting to the university i want to study at.
Anyway teachers in my high school don't undertand it and keep torturing me with useless information. What can i do?

You need to get over the idea that you are learning content; with a few exceptions (math, for example, and perhaps second languages) you are not expected to remember the content of your courses. You will forget nearly everything you learn within a few months, and most teachers know that.

What they are trying to help you learn, what you are supposed to remember, is HOW to learn. The fact of knowing that any problem you are confronted with is solvable, and the general approaches you should take in order to deal with any problems you confront in real life is the ENTIRE point of secondary education.

That some courses are mandatory for entrance to certain college programs is an acknowledgment that some subjects require specialized approaches in order to answer the problem that arise.

And, to be frank, you probably have no idea where you are going to end up in life, so it is a good idea to have as broad a preparation for the as many kinds of problems you will confront as possible,

hmmm, maybe you know something that all other people in education don't know about??
Yes, you can learn in all subjects. Some take a lot more work than others. That's the way life is. College won't be any different. Trust the people around you that you will need the information in your future. You really will.

What makes you special? Teachers are there to help you learn more then just what you need for college, they are there to help you learn about life also. Work with them and you will be much better off.

you could shoot your teachers like students in America... but they probly won't understand.

i suggest you "kiss butt" and really act like you like the teachers personally. then invent some crisis in your life (g-mother died,etc..) before the big test.

or, volunteer as a "teacher's pet" and help them grade papers. it's easy to cheat on future tests if you have the teacher's desk key!
