A lot of them are followers, teen media has presented rebellion and school hatred as "cool". Some are just trying to find themselves and feel school is pressuring them to be conformist, other feel they're to stupid and have stopped trying. I'd say the majority of them are just saying it cause their friends say it.

because it's compulsory and starts too early in the morning.

Most teens hate school because its one of the most boring places to be where people nag you and if you do one little thing then everyone is on your back about it.

Here in the US, many parents don't raise us to cherish the freedoms and the privileges our ancestors sought and died for. Then again, it's a very difficult feat. Out of sight, out of mind, right? Americans thrive on escapism; sports, movies, video games, alcohol, drugs, music, etc. Our entertainment industry has a huge voice in our youth, hence our American culture is very in tune with our American Pop Culture. I hope you're sticking it out and do well in school. Because in a couple years, you're going to "absolutely hate" rent, bills, work, and a car that always has something wrong with it. When that day comes, you'll be wishing you were 16 again. Like me :) The US school system is a one track deal, Elem -> Mid -> High, then graduation, which is unforunate. In most European countries, there are several avenues one can take in education up to college, which is free in some countries. I think our nation would benefit a more diverse school system like such as they have overseas. Edit::: I noticed Lissa said "They're there for the money" PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, look up an average teacher's salary. After the 4 to 5 years they commited to a college education that doesn't transcend into other career fields, and wracked up tens of thousands of dollars in student loans, they do not get the money they deserve to put up with our apathetic youth and loud-mouth parents. Teachers are in it for the money? You really are lost if you believe that.

It's so much work! God, I just want to sleep all day, but instead I have to get up at 5 am to go to school to do schoolwork. Then I get home and have to do homework. And the food at school sucks.

School is not set up for the students at all. It's for the government to give them the ability to say that they did their best to educate the children. Most kids hate school because they are told they have to do it. If the kids were given a choice they wouldn't be so hostile towards education. I can already tell someone is gonna argue saying that school can't be voluntary or our society will fall, blah blah blah. Well, you're wrong, the kids will see that the people who went to school were able to get great jobs and make money. This will give them the motivation to want to get educated. It would also give the parents the ability to do what they're meant to do, raise their kids and make the important decisions that are currently made for them. I recently graduated and have realized that I loved school. I may have felt like I hated it while I was there, but I liked having the ability to build a social life while I learned. Our lives are forever shaped by the connections we make in school. A lot of kids nowadays are going to college because they choose to, you're not forced into going to college. Kids are seeing that they need college to get where they want to go and are making the choice. Lissa - Agreed. lol. Good way to put it. Person who disagreed with Lissa - All I have to say is I already forgot your name and what I was gonna respond with. All I know is that it wasn't going to be positive.

School is the dumbest thing invented in history.

Well, i dislike the idea that i'm being forced to do something. I love chocolate, but if someone were to force me it eat it, i'd freak. If it were optional, i would go anyways because i know there are so many that don't have the opportunity to get an education. Maybe its the a**holes you have to deal with, or the stupid teachers that forget that they assigned a project(i didn't mind... well expect for the fact i stayed up well past midnight to finish it cause my group was lazy). Or maybe its the fact that you're getting up before the sun does. I know I don't like the fact that you have very little control over what you learn. Really, unless it has something to do with my job, when am I going to need to know how many electrons are in a coulomb?

Because we are nagged by the government to lose weight and be healthy. We then get lots of homework which on our break time was have to do, we barely relax then work out and stuff if we have time. Then adults bug us that we have it easy while complaining about it online...then we go to bed late because homework plus other affairs theres just not enough hours in a day. then we get up early and we get harassed by our parents to go to bed earlier....Thennnn the governments do studies that say teens need more sleeep which we would LOVEEEEE but we CANT have any more sleep because were doing too many things! In any other scenerio locking kids up for 5-8 hours a day 5 days a week would be considered inhumane. Our parents can get in trouble and go to jail if we dont go to school . If you dont do exactly what your told would be held after school....then theres some schools with uniforms and we cant even wear a toque walking in the front door without being asked to take it off because its against the rules. Then we have to do homework at home. theres peer pressure and parents are at home relaxing while kids have homework (yes i know our parents generation had homework too). Also i hate how we get homework over "break times". I just got back from winter break and my facebook page was also filled with kids saying i hate school etc. I was worrying about homework a lot and had to do quite a bit while my teacher said she wasnt marking anything at all over the break :/ The bottom line is that kids hate school because the times have changed and the school system is old fashioned! Our parents make us do all of these events and this and that and then we still have school on top of that with too many rules, not enough sleep and not enough free time while being held against our will daily and sent home with enforceable by law work that if we dont do on a regular basis our grades will slip and drop out......cops come after us. -.-

School completely destroys your mind, it gives you just enough freedom so you come everyday but your miserable...it spits you out after four years as a tool to society, sucks you into the draining capitalist ways of the greedy and after a week about learning about romantics and transcendentalism the teacher tells you to listen, and follower their direction because they know best...SCHOOL IS MAKING US SHUT OFF OUR BRAINS!!!! don't believe me....every philosopher in time says you must do what you want...well what do you want??? I bet 90% of the time you "want" something created by humans...well you've lost your nature..you've lost yourself and become part of a machine. Have fun... if there is a devil school is his creation because it would be the temptation and sin of power hungry indviduals who have lost sight of love and freedom and have cluttered the pathway of life with sofas and fancy cars and prostitution and bullshit...fucking bullshit...whio made school so we all turn out like them..."i love education but if its not taking me where i need to be then fuck education" they are teaching us to be corrupt...there is no longer a sense of enlightenment...a sense of containment has overtaken because we no longer are able to release our minds and souls. i plead for anyone instigated in anyway by this to contact me for further civil discussion.
