I am at a school that I dont want to attend anymore but I am staying because I dont want my parents to be upset with me. They have put some of their money into this. The school that I am in I dont feel that I am interested anymore. I have been feeling this way for a year now. I have complained to my teachers. Then I went and complained to the school. I have brought it to my mothers attention but I dont know what else to do? I really want to leave but I dont know where?Am I crazy for doing this? I know that life is not always fun but I SLEEP IN CLASS. I feel that if I am going to sleep in class why am I there, that it just a waist of my money and time.Can someone help me? IM me if neccessary?Something Please?

I understand some of you all responses but I have a 3.4 GPA I am doing all of my work it is just that the school is boring me. My parents have not paid my fees off they just lend me money I have to pay them back as well. So if you can not HELP me in some type of way or say something positive then please do not respond.
THANK YOU

I'm assuming you are in college. You need to sit your parents down and discuss this issue with them, not just bring it to their attention, especially if they are paying for it. If you are sleeping, then it is likely you are not passing your classes; therefore, you are wasting their money.
Maybe you need to take a little time off and figure out what you really want to do with your life. It is unlikely though, if you quit school you will go back. This is a big decision you are making, you need to make it with the utmost thought and with your parent's guidance.
Good Luck!!

This sort of happened to me half way - the second year of my 3 year degree coarse i started to feel bored and felt little stimulation. I n the final year it got worse but i ploughed through it because ;
1 - i passed the exams at the end of the 2nd year, so i thought maybe i do have what it takes
2 - a degree course is expensive, so i thought to myself theres no way i'm going to waste my money for nothing. Also the policy with my uni was that if you started the year you could not get a refund on your tuition fee.
3 - what ever doesn't kill you makes you stronger
4 - not only would i be wasting money, but time. The main reason i continued was cause i knew that its a big achievement to have a degree behind you - and your recognized for all that hard work (provided that get a resonable grade or class). And some people would love to be in my shoes - some don't get opportunities like this.
I also weighted up the things like am i struggling with the coarse so much that there would not be any point in continuing - since it would not be my forte. and how many years i had left until the coarse was over. Fortunately i didn't have to do any retakes until my final year so that meant that i had some ability in me to continue.
But after all of this - its still your choice

You're not crazy no. I wish you would have quoted what level of school you were at. Myself, I tested extremely high on IQ tests as a kid and got very bored in public school. To the point where I dropped out of High School and didn't go back for almost 10 years. So it's a mixed bag. It sounds to me like you aren't being challenged and are bored. But I can tell you this. 10 years with no real education in the job force was absolute hell, no exageration. Even after I decided what I wanted to do as a career and was extremely self-taught nobody would take me seriously. So I went back to University at 30 years old. The choice is yours but know that you will be in situations like this...
Having 20 dollars a month over your rent to spend on yourself. Having credators calling you 24/7 because you can't make enough cash to pay the bills. Working 2 or 3 crap jobs. I even had the joy of working for 24 hours non stop one crazy day a few years ago when I had to cover somebody not showing up as a bartender at a club I worked at.

Welcome to the real world. Just be glad it's not a job you hate but can't afford to quit because you are too spoiled and can't give up living with a roof over your head and eating on a regular basis.
Suck it up. School isn't forever. Read more, take up art, expand yourself on your own. Don't be satisfied with being spoon fed sugar coated politically correct lessons. There is much more out there to know than what schools teach. Take a class that is boring, study beyond the lesson plan with outside sources. Challenge the teacher if you feel they are feeding you a bunch of PC BS.

Maybe you should stay in school and awake in class until you learn the difference between waste and waist.
You also need instruction on how to form questions. The info you gave was very vague.
What kind of school is it? Private? Elementary? High School? College?
There is nothing in there about people teasing you, threatening you, or the like...so be glad you are so blessed and stop the whining.

are you in college or in highschool? cause maybe its just not the right college for you. or the right program of study. what are you studying? what do you want to do with your life?
i've changed schools sooo many times (college). and i've wasted soooo much time and money because of it. but sometimes thats what it takes. i found that the best school for me was the art institute because they focus only on the art stuff, no math, english, science... none of that crap that i just hate.
i've wanted to quit soooo many times, but i know that i wont have much of a life if i do. my dad dropped out of college when he was young. it wasnt a problem back then. he got a good job and worked there for about 15 years and then they had to downsize and layed off half the employees. even though he tried to get the same type of job, he had a really hard time. he had the experience, but since he didnt have a degree, most companies didnt even want to look at him. they'd hire someone with a degree but no experience over him in an instant. and thats really how a lot of companies are now. most REQUIRE you to have a degree.
so, depending on what you plan on doing with your life, i would advise you to just get thru it. find what you really want to do, and go to a school thats suited for that field. or be a receptionist for the rest of your life.

Find the root of the problem. Are you bored with the classes you take? Is it a specialized school (school of the arts, ect.) that you no longer have an interest in? You should talk with your parents about this and make them understand that you feel serious about how you feel.

It sounds like you aren't being challenged. Is this a private high school or is this college?
If it is a high school, check for groups or extra curricular activities to get involved with or talk to a teacher in you favorite class about more challenging assignments.
If this is college, contact your advisor about changing your major.

Go to bed and sleep at night.
If you are getting enough sleep and still sleeping in class you need to see a Dr.
