Final year of high school but I'm putting in no effort...

[TheRedViper]

I'm kind of worried about my mindset right now in that I'm in my final year of high school, the year where everyone is saying I should be working non-stop to do the best I can and get the best results, but... I just don't care. I feel so completely apathetic about it all, and that's what's worrying; I'm not worried at all.

My grades for pretty much all my classes range from average to a little above average. I'm no top student, but I'm not failing either. Just kind of in the middle, and have always been with school. I intend on going to university after high school, and have a general idea of what I want to pursue. This course does not require a high score from high school, since it's more interview and talent based. And yet I'm really not taking any precautions in case I don't get into that and have to do something else. I just don't care about my high school education at this point. I do the bare minimum of work at school, complete only the absolutely required homework, take very little notes, and do no studying or revising. I've passed all the tests I've done so far, but most only just.

Everyone else around me is stressing out about needing to get better marks, but I just don't care and am not concerned at all, even though I know I probably should be. No matter how much I am told I need to put more effort in, I do not follow this advice. It's almost worrying to me how little I care right now. It also doesn't help that I generally dislike most people around me at school and am always very tired. But those are different issues.

Anyone else feel the same kind of way about their final year of high school?

I'm a senior as well and I feel that. I honestly dont care I'm not worried at all, even when I should be. Difference for me is I only need to pass two classes to graduate, and even though I should keep high grades that I know I'm capable of, I just have 0 motivation. Shit I scored a 27 on the ACT and I just walked in and took it, no studying at all. Kinda makes me feel like I'm wasting what I have, but I still don't care. To me as long as I graduate it doesn't matter, even when it should.

Yep. I'm going to community college to start off, before transferring to a UC, State School, or a few private universities that I had in mind. That doesn't mean I should give up on my high school and never show up, but since I don't have to worry about admissions AND I can basically go to any community college I want to in the state of California, I haven't really seen a reason to put in full effort into school; my work/employment has taken more priority over school for me. And honestly, unless I get fired from my job or have my work permit taken away due to bad grades/school attendance, I don't see any reason for trying any harder in school that I currently am.

As long as I pass my English, Living Skills, and Positive Psychology courses this semester, I'm set to graduate. Just 2.5 more months until I'm done, essentially. I've had a rough time at my high school, so I'm just looking forward to getting out of there and having a clean slate on the college level. High School isn't the gateway to your future.

Well, who said you have to worry too much about that? Parents, teachers or your friends? Really, if you are afraid about your grades and homework, you can make it easier for you. Check, how many internet sites can help you with homework...https://www.google.com, http://www.wikipedia.org/ ..... www.encyclopedia.com.... Or if you even don't want to search, use ready homeworks like https://essaycool.com/ ....:yeah: For small money you can get a nice essay, better than you would do yourself. And you will have no headache anymore :D
For me, the last school year is not for stress, you need to relax and have fun. I don't say you have to forget about grades and classes. School education is usefull anyway, it gives you a ticket to life. You have to get great memories about it, so try to make it easier and more interesting for you. If you don't care about classes, take just nice life experience and cool photos from school. Cause college or university are sooooo muuuuuch haaarder, believe me :yes:
