Hello. So, I am 15 years old nearing the end of my sophomore high-school year, but I'm getting really sick of school. I don't mean this as a typical "I don't want to go to school" kind of complaint. Like, really, I'm fed up with this system and there's no way I can put up with 2 more years of this garbage.
I even have it better than most because I'm homeschooled, but I still see school as a barrier that's stopping me from advancing my life. I don't learn anything useful or important. Instead I "learn" (aka briefly obtain information only to regurgitate it out again and never remember it) about random things I will never need in my life ever again. And maybe this is just because I'm smarter than most, but school for me is really easy. The only time it gets hard or my grades suffer is when I'm so bored that I don't pay attention. All I'm learning from these years of experience in school is to do what others tell me to do, submit to a system, and that the system is completely flawed.
So I'm now wondering, why am I even here? My whole life I've also been taught that I have to stay in high school or I'll never get to go to college and I'll never get a good job. However, I hear all the time about extremely successful people who were high school drop-outs. I definitely still want to go to college and pursue a good career, but do I really have to deal with this shit along the way?
I'm not implying that I want to drop-out, I'm simply asking if there are any good options for me. High school is literally doing nothing for me, if anything, it's having a negative affect on me because I'm developing bad studying habits and slight depression. So is dropping out a good idea? If so how do I go from "drop-out" stage to a college? Are there other options where real-life skills and opportunities for jobs are actually taught?
I would LOVE some feedback! Thanks in advance! :)
