Did anyone else absolutely hate High School?

Perhaps its just a matter of failure in regards to my personality or maybe I just went to a bad school, but I did not enjoy any aspect of High School.

I hated it. Despite taking ~5 AP classes, I found that none of my classes were intellectually stimulating. Everything we did, all the standards we met, seemed to form the purpose of acting as an institution for breeding employees for the market. The result was that none of the students really cared about education but rather were only interested in taking AP classes or joining ASB, and all that jazz the academically well jazz just to be awarded medals and have something to put on the college application.

No one really ever offered any interesting discussion, not the teachers and never the students.

I spent all my time worrying and trying to conform to being social (I used to be incredibly shy). That said, I completely disregarded my classes. Even then, I never really found any good relationships that lasted beyond being just buddies. And I couldn’t really take my classes seriously either considering all the stupid work that I just hated doing.

I didn’t join sports, music or clubs or anything. Now, I totally regret it and its too late, but hoping things go better in college, and I do hope I just leave the laziness behind.

It seems everyone here had a nice preppy life though.
