I'm having huge problems in school. Advice and help, please?

I'm in my last year of public high school, and I'm having so much trouble here.





All my life I've made straight A's, studied hard, never skipped class, never rebelled, etc.





Recently, however, I've been feeling intensely rebellious and bitter towards school in general, and I have no idea why.





I think it's mostly because I feel like I've been a goody-goody all my life, and instead of living life, I've just been existing inside a school building studying when my peers have been enjoying their school years.





I always listened to my teachers when they told me that school would pay off and that it was the only way you could make anything of yourself in this world. So I dedicated my whole life to studying while my classmates were actually out enjoying their teenage years.





Now I feel angry because I feel that those people around me who got by in school okay are living a much more fulfilled life than I am. I feel like my teachers told me wrong; no, school is NOT the most important thing in life but I was too young to know that when they ground it into my mind for good.





All of it makes me feel miserable. Please give me advice, thanks.





Please don't give me a lecture that I'm just complaining because I'm a whiny teenager. I genuinely need help from some more mature, experienced people who've been there.I'm having huge problems in school. Advice and help, please?
Been there, done that and I got to tell you that your life ain't over yet and you haven't missed anything you can't do when you graduate. Take a year off then and by gosh go and have some fun. Travel, lie on the beach, meet some new friends, or don't do a darn thing. You're teachers never swayed you wrong, remember they are older,they went through it and they do know what they're talking about. Tell me, what is it that you think you missed that your friends did that you can't do later, only with a grad.paper. Tell me, did you or did you not do what you wanted to do? Did you not make a conscience choice to do what you did? Then take that responsibility for that choice. My goodness don't start piling up regrets yet, you'll have lots of time for that later. You are letting your anger and regret rule and make your life miserable. Don't let it cause the only person that can stop it is you. Your choice!I'm having huge problems in school.

Well, I was like you, doing extremely well, but when my grades started to slip, I started feeling rebellious but the thing that stopped me was the fear of making mistakes as well as the fact that I saw no worth in doing such stuff. I might not have enjoyed life like others, but I know I am going to enjoy life in the future is what motivated me through.
I was a really good student when I was young. Then towards the end of my junior year of high school and senior year I got in my share of trouble and didn't make the best grades, but I def. was not failing.





Then I went to college and I was a decent student B's C's occasional A and an occasional D. Then one day I took a class I really liked and since then I have been an amazing student and graduated college with no problems. Now I'm in graduate school and I don't remember the last B I ever made because I only make A's.





The thing is your teacher's are right, school is super important and it will pay off tremendously in your life. Going to school provides you higher class status, higher self-esteem and tons of opportunities you wouldn't otherwise get. But what your teacher's don't tell you is that rebelling is part of life and it makes you who you are. Just think everyone is going to mess up or rebel sometime and I'd honestly rather do it while I was young than when I'm older and have a lot more to lose.





Good luck!
