I know what you think. 'I hate school' means that I'm too lazy to getup so early. Or I don't like the homework. Well it's not, I hate school for reasons that adults don't even know about.

I hate school because anything you say gets analysed. I hate school because you get judged. I hate school because if you don't get an A on every test you are an idiot. I hate school because it is making us so stressed. We are teenagers, we should be having fun not studying until the stress kills us. I hate it because I dont need to know how to find the area of a triangle, I need to know how to fix cars, feed kids and have a happy life!
I'm stuck in a classroom that will teach me nothing useful. I will never use this in the real world.

Teachers don't realise that we go home and cry over rest results. We are so stressed that some girls and guys are already on medication to help them relax. Some kids are cutting themselves so that they can take their mind of the constant pressure from teachers to do well.

The fact that I'd rather be dead than go to school, is sick? Is it not? The fact that I have to chose to either study the whole time to get good grades or to have a stable mental health, is wrong. I shouldn't have to chose!
