I finished my high school years around a month ago. (college here I come).
I used to hate school, it bored me to tears and I hate waking up every morning going to school. I skipped a lot (pretending I was sick and such)... but then when I see my friends actually putting an effort in school.. It didnt seem so bad. It's not like they study 24/7; they hang out and they have loads of fun but at the same time maintained As in their grades.
So I just decided to give it a try.. for starters I started not missing school and classes, then I moved on to finishing homework, then revise my lessons regularly. Its not so bad once you do it, trust me. And I can tell you it will leave you feeling good, actually doing something worthy in school while you're at it. Also I started getting involved in extra curricular clubs, which made my time worthwhile in school.
While you're still in school, dont go wasting your time there. Some children would kill to be in school and get educated (my grandma still hates her parents for never sending her to school and holds the grudge until now!) make the most out of whatever it is that school has to offer you...
you have nothing to lose, but absolutely everything to gain.
And dependent you may be on your parents, Ive met (some family) so many people who get everything they want even without having to work a finger in school.. but they all admitted one thing: they would've done better in school, if they could.
Just my opinion on the matter...
