I have hated school for as long as I can remember. I think high school and junior high were the worst. However, I did enough to get reasonably good grades, and learn the stuff that I found interesting.
Now, it has been 5 years since I graduated HS and I am hearing about all of these really popular people who everyone expected to be so successful. Many of them went nowhere after HS, some had horrible drug problems, others developed eating disorders, etc. All of that says to me that most of those people probably weren’t really has happy as they seemed. Meanwhile here I am, the kid who has always hated school, and I just graduated with three bachelors degrees in engineering.
I guess the point is, just take HS for what it is (lame and imperfect) but get as much out of it as you can. Just because it sucks is no reason not to do your best. And when you are looking at all those people who seem to love it, and everything seems to come so easily too, remember that you may not be seeing the whole story.
