A sophmore in high school, I find the whole day to be just a complete waste of time. During every class I commit to frivolous amusements just to rally my jaded spirits. I have no interest in the monotonous nonsense my teachers insist on pounding into my skull.
Try paying attention and learning something.

Everyday at 7:35 I copy a whole whiteboard of gibberish; my chemistry teacher construes how those odd symbols make the world work.
Gotta agree here, I hate chem.

At 9:07 I wonder if my sociology teacher's decision to present the film Sybil is actually a form of sick punishment.
Sybil is a fantastic movie and you should try to watch and learn.. Don't be so ungrateful.

At 11:13 my geometry teacher explains to me how, standing in line at the grocery store, I'm going to need to know the relationship between quadrilaterals and parallelograms.
I don't understand his logic, but it will reinforce some algebraeic rules that I actually DO use daily. For instance when purchasing something and/or figuring out how much 25% off of $42 is.

At 1:47, until an impossibly far 2:35, my time is spent with George Orville's 1984 open on my lap under the desk while my poor teacher murmurs about contract law to 30 students who are physically present but yet off in some distant land.
That's a good book.

Who is to blame for my sense of futility? Is it me, do I lack inspiration? Am I simply lazy? Is it the unmotivated teachers? Is it the seemingly innumerable faults of the American education system? Is "No Child Left Behind" hypocritically enforcing equality by leaving EVERY child behind, even those who show promise? Should the United States adopt a trade school system (students choose to go to either high school or a specialized school after middle school) from Europe? Or perhaps I'm the only one who feels this.

You need to stop taking your education for granted and realize that you only have a short time left until you have to work for the next 40 years to support yourself and a family and then die.
Yes, it IS true that a college degree isn't needed and there are plenty of jobs (even some careers) that don't require you to even graduate high school (but it certainly wouldn't hurt), HOWEVER those jobs are really rare and don't expect a lot from them.
If you drop out now, can you see yourself working at McDonals or as a janitor the rest of your life?
If that doesn't sound appealing, stay in school and start taking classes that will be relevant to the college major you have in mind.
I'm going to be a Kindergarten teacher, so I'm taking AP Psychology in order to test out and not have to take General Psych in college. Therefore saving time and money.

Ive only just got to bed by then. 
That's lame. I'd probably just be getting out of bed by then, when I was at school.
