Hating High School Help?

Question

As September comes closer I clearly see that school will start soon. I will be a junior next year and I have to say that I feel miserable at high school. I'm not a bad student or anything. I have a 4.0 G.P.A., I take honors and AP classes, and I do volunteer work. So I'm not lazy but it's the enviroment of high school that has got me feeling miserable.

I hate the fact that so many of my peers are so shallow, I hate the fact that I have so much busy work, and I hate the fact that finding good and mature friends is a next to near impossible challenge. I just feel so frustrated with everything!

Whenever I go to school I feel like I am just sitting there and waiting for the clock to slowly click by. Some of my classes and teachers are interesting but some of my teachers, classes, and classmates are so awful I can barely stand being in the classroom.

I just want my senior year to come so I can apply to my colleges and get high school over with. I am at a lost for words on what to do and I was hoping for some words of advice from the Yahoo!Answers community. So please...give me some advice. I have no idea what to do.

Answer 1

well im also going to be a junior and i feel the same way sometimes, most of my friends are very inmature but i have a few that are mature, i try to get along with everyone but it seems impossible because some people just go too far and get annoying, im enjoying high school though because of what i do, i play football and it is fun being part of the team...you should join a sport and try meeting new people and talking to more people that you already know, but about the work you get, just try not to stress so much over all the things you have to do, try planning out what you will do throughout the day...im not sure how i can help you but hope i did somehow

Answer 2

Honestly, man, it sounds like you're just more mature than your classmates. I had that problem too for a long time. There's a lot of things that can get in the way of friendships, and the level of mental ability is definitely one of them. Basically, all I can offer you in the way of advice is that there ARE mature people out there, and those that can offer you interesting times and interesting companionship. The older you get, the older they get, and you'll probably find that people surprise you even this year as you go back with how much they've changed.

It's hard sometimes when you don't have a lot of people that you like to spend time with- but it'll sort itself out eventually. In the meantime, it sounds like you're doing the right thing- volunteering and a high G.P.A. are things to be proud of, and I'm sure that soon you'll find people that appreciate you without making f**t jokes all the time.

Answer 3

I think you're being too pessimistic about this whole situation. Maybe you should look at the positives instead of the negatives. It's junior year, and its supposed to be the funnest year of high school (besides senior year of course). I'm about to enter my junior year as well, and i couldn't be more exited, a higher rank on the social ladder of high school, plus fun things that only come to upperclassmen like class rings and of course, junior prom!

I hope you work this all out!

Answer 4

It sounds like you are a very mature and intelligent student!  It also sounds like you are understimulated.  Here are some suggestions if you haven't tried already:

Sign up for jr. college classes.

Join a club or start your own.

Learn how to play a musical instrument.

Join a sports team.

Is your volunteer work something you are interested in or just something for credit?  Do something that you are passionate about!

Do you work?  Maybe do an internship in the field you want to get into.

Create, invent, do something amazing b/c there aren't a lot of smart, young, dedicated people out there!

Answer 5

Ok this is how i got over the fear of going to high school I joined a class with my friends so that I can have fun with them and they can protect me. But i guess if you dont have friends then i cant tell u what to do lol.
