I don't fit in at school..

I refuse to go back to school, hell I even want to just drop out at this point and get my GED so i can start working full time and get my own apartment to start my life. school is just putting me behind on the things that i want/need to do. school isn't for me. it never has been. I can't remember a day in my life where I was excited too go to school. Every morning I feel this intense fear about what's going to happen at school that day, my stomach gets upset and I feel sick every morning because of it. And when we pull up to the school, my heart races picks up and i get out of breath and then I worry some more. I'll walk to my classes thinking everyone I pass by is making fun of me or thinking rude thoughts about me. I'm a smart person, don't get me wrong, but I still have this fear that I'm not as smart as the other people in my class and it makes me want to shut down inside because I think I'm retarded. Which, honestly at the school I'm going to now, I pretty much know I'm smarter then a great majority of my classmates, but I can't seem to remember that in class. Then when I'm sitting down at my table or whatever, I cannot get relaxed at all. My nerves in my body will go off like non-stop. I can't focus in class, i worry about how I look, or what everyone else is thinking about me. Then at lunch I'll find a random place to sit by myself because I don't have any friends and try not to cry. Then after lunch I'm just worn out and all my energy has left me. I can't and don't want to focus during class. Everyone makes me mad. I don't feel like doing anything anymore because my tiredness plus the level of stress I'm going through is just way too much for me to handle. I seriously just want to drop out, school isn't for me.

    If you quit school, you'll never learn the importance of paragraphs.

    If you quit school, you may be setting a precedent that could affect you negatively for your whole life.
    Your future potential employers could see you as a quitter, as you yourself may come to do. If you quit high school because you don't like it, what else in life will you quit when the going gets tough?
    I absolutely HATED school; high school AND college, but I forced myself to finish.
    You are young and what you do now will shape your whole life. Suck it up and do what you know is the right thing to do, and you may thank yourself a thousand times over, later.

    Try Aderrall. See what affect it has, and then decide. You sound like you are developing a "drifter" personality. Not good.

    Get your GED and think hard, introspectively on yourself and what you want out of your character, your life, the people around you, the environment your around, everything.. and once you have a general idea, go to college and shoot for nothing but that dream. Its all up to you, and each and everyone of us has the ability to be whoever we want to be.

    Sounds like you have a phobia. Or maybe a social anxiety.

  • I hated school as well. I actually waited things out and graduated but to be honest I have never actually needed my high school diploma for anything. I do think school was good for learning social skills but I don't think my life would be much different if I dropped out.
