Is it normal that i get so depressed from school?

Everytime I get up and go to school it feels like a waste of my day. Instead of going out into the world and doing something useful I'm sitting in a room taking notes or doing some dumb group activity. Instead of being happy when I get home, I stay just as depressed as I was at school because I feel like I wasted my day on stupid school work that won't help me a bit out in the real world. I feel like I should be staying home to help out around here or be doing something better with my time. I realize nobody likes school, and that is very normal, but I'm wondering if it's normal to get so depressed and upset over it.

    I feel the same way- but after reading the other comments i definitly agree with them. If you are in highschool, it will probably like that, so i think that it is perfectly normal.

    If you're in high school, I totally understand but power through and it will be worth it.
    If you're in university, I also understand but don't push yourself through for no reason. Finish up the semester and then take a break, travel, work do something to change up to routine, when you go back to school in a couple months or a couple years you'll be much more ready to study.

    i totally feel ya. i just graduated but i felt the same way in school, especially senior year because there was so much work to do and it was so hard. but now i feel like a big weight has been lifted off my shoulders, and i'm actually looking forward to college because i'm majoring in spanish, which i like a lot.

    remember, all the hard work will pay off when u graduate :)

    I think most people feel that way about high school :) Just remember that this is only a short period of your life and although it doesn't seem like it now, it will be over soon.

    I'm not going to lie, a lot of the crap you learn in school is useless and you will probably never need it again. School, isn't a complete waste of time though. We need it to be able to get into college and to get the job that we want. Even if you don't want to go to college, you need to go to school because future employers will be able to see that you have your High School Diploma and that means you showed commitment and dedication which is what they want to see.

    School teaches us to have a good work ethic and to keep going even when we don't want to or things get tough. Maybe you could try balancing your day out with co-curricular activities that you enjoy. You could think of it as a reward to yourself for going to school that day. Just think to yourself, "If I go to school today, I can go play sports/play music/ whatever with my friends". That way you can try to motivate yourself :) Good luck!
