So I'm 17, in 11th grade High school in the US. I honestly just cannot stand the BS that I get from all my "friends" at school, that just have the most ridiculous and pointless drama ever. I also think a lot of school is a waste of time and is taking away from my focus. As in things like study hall, lunch, homeroom, etc. I don't like interacting with people 24/7, especially not at school. Instead of wasting my time in stuff like this, I'd much rather just move on with my day.

The ideal life for me would be living with my dad and/or by myself with a steady job of something I enjoy. I don't really want a wife or a family, I just want to do my own thing without being bothered. Sure I do have friends but a lot of them I know are from online (total internet freak) and/or I used to know but moved away. I hate how graspy/clingy/annoying the people are in my area it's just so irritating how I can't say "leave me alone" without getting yelled at or lectured for some stupid shit.

Is this a bad thing I don't want all these things that a normal teen wants? haha

Not really, sometimes I ponder if I want to marry and have children or just be single forever...

and I know what you mean about the BS from friends. You may want to try private or home schooling as there tends to be less distraction and more focus on education.

I have been known to say I want to spend the rest of my life in a dark room alone with a computer. :p My school lets us drop lunch/study hall and take more classes.

That was exactly my situation and why I dropped out. (Just replace 11th grade with 12th grade. Oh, and the addition of failing a bunch of credits.)

But yes, this is a 100% normal feeling. High school is bullshit work and bullshit people. Thing is, you'll run into a lot of bullshit in your life, but high school takes the cake. I think of it like bullshit training, cause nothing will be worse.
