Is it normal that i don't want to study?

My family is disappointed with my behavior and results in school, but I actually don't care about their feelings. I know the consequences of not studying, but I feel nothing when people warn me about how dangerous it is for my career. When I see bad results in my school report I feel indiferent, it doesn't make me sad or angry, neither happy or calm.

I'm so busy trying focused in others activities that school became a hobby for me. I think it's unnecessary and it won't change anything for real when I start working on something else. And it's not because I hate school, I have nothing against it, I just think it's useless and makes no difference on investing my time and life on it.

Is it normal to behave like this or should I seek help?

    It's normal if you're black.

    I'm sure many of us don't want to study, but we do it anyway, since it helps us get good grades. It's absolutely normal not to want to study. I've encountered this countless times in my academic career. While grades may not be the be all and end all of everything, they are somewhat important. They can help make your job career go more smoothly, since your grades can be sort of like a "backup plan" to begin accomplishing your dreams. You should tell your parents and seek a tutor possibly to help you out with schoolwork issues. Always ask your teacher(s) for help. It's their job.

    Do you want to grow up and work as a maid? No i don't think so, listen to your parents they know what's right for you. Education is the only solution, education first

      Maid is not the only job for those who don't want to study. There's a lot of others opportunities outside of the world of business.
      And I prefer to fail miserably, rise and try to be myself at all costs, instead of please someone who don't care about me and being unhappy in the future because I wasted my time and part of my life on something that I hate doing it.

      The results are only worth outside of Brazil. Getting a degree here isn't enough to have a good life.

          For me, the concept of a good life is being truly happy with who you are and what you do.
          I don't want to spend my time on something that makes me frustrated, stressed and depressed, and be someone who needs to wear a mask everyday. That's why I don't think it's worth wasting my time on school.

          Well, this worked in the beginning of this year, but after a few months I got distracted because I felt bored instead of interested.
          I only pay attention when I need to know the personality of each single teacher. When I met them and fully comprehend their emotions/reactions and their methods of teaching, my interest simply disappears.

            I was never interestef in what the teachers were saying, i just seemed to take in the information without paying attention. I usually just sat there drawing or something and not taking part in the lesson. Most of the teachers just left me to it after a while.
