Even if you hate the school you are forced to attend with all your might, there is a way to make it through and survive. Read this article to find out how.
Steps
Step 1. Make friends
It sounds simple enough. But the more friends you have, the more they will help distract you from the things you hate. Chances are they will hate school as much as you do, so you can scream and complain along with them. Plus, you'll have a compelling reason to drag yourself out of bed at six in the morning every day.
Step 2. Impress your teachers
If your teachers are the personification of evil, the best way to keep them from getting too heavy is to become "the professor's darling". This means paying attention in class, doing all the homework, getting good grades on exams, and asking lots of questions. Since many of your classmates may have a very low average, you should surprise your teachers by turning out to be a true prodigy. They will go lighter with you, especially if you are the only one with all A's, while your teammates will all have enough or insufficient.
Step 3. Look for the positives
A good side can be found in even the most terrible experiences. If you are looking for it, you should be able to find it in your school as well. Find out what your high school has to offer and try to take advantage of these opportunities. For example, if your school had a terrific football team, try joining it. If, on the other hand, you have to offer students various art and painting courses, choose one that interests you and let your creativity run free.
Step 4. Pretend it is the most beautiful place in the world
The mind can play strange tricks. Try to imagine having fun like crazy in your own prison trap. This should make you feel better and you won't feel overwhelmed by school anymore. Be careful not to do anything silly though, like laugh like a fool, because you could end up being humiliated and made fun of.
Step 5. Talk to your teacher / counselor / director
They are there to help you. If there is something in particular that you don't like in your school, such as a lack of decent food in the cafeteria, ask your manager if it is possible to open a cafeteria (don't suggest things that inspire junk food, otherwise he will definitely tell you say no).
Step 6. Remember it could be much worse
If you don't go to a dangerous high school (where you have to go under a metal detector to get into school every day), try to imagine how much worse the situation could be. You may think your school is terrible, but remember there are many far worse ones out there, where students have far more serious problems than yours. So, if there isn't a shooting every two weeks by you, consider yourself lucky, very lucky.
Step 7. Relocate
Use this as a last resort. If the problem persists and you are unable to solve it in any other way, consider moving to another school. Research other schools and find out their advantages and disadvantages to find out more.
Advice
- Remind yourself that you will not stay there forever.
- Never skip classes - this is one of the biggest mistakes people make. No matter how much you hate history, you must always be present in class. You would only make things worse by not having the opportunity to take notes or skipping an important lesson. All your mates would be one step ahead of you. Being lazy doesn't pay. Then when the time comes to take the exams you would have nothing to study on and you would end up getting a bad grade. Go to class. Trust me, I've been through it myself. Chances are this has happened to you too, but you haven't even noticed it so far.
- Always do your best. This will help you get better grades and move on.
- Design your school as you see it. Then, tear the design apart into confetti and throw it in the garbage can.
- Find the strength of your school and use it to your advantage. Take advantage of it.
- Make a list of all the things you think can be improved in your school. Be as specific as possible. Create a petition and try to get as many signatures as possible. Then show the list to the principal or administrator. Chances are they will get back to you.
- Be sociable, even with teachers.
- Always try to find the best side in attending school, such as friends, classes you find interesting, etc. and don't worry about the little niggles. Nothing is perfect and remember, it is close to graduation.
Warnings
- Don't skip school. It would only make things worse.
- Don't be too helpful to teachers. They would think you are annoying.
- Remember the saying, "Don't bandage your head before you break it."
- Do not be shy. Shyness will only make you feel inadequate.
