Dude, if you can enjoy high school, please enjoy it. For the rest of us. Don't just subscribe to the "this sucks" mentality if it doesn't actually suck. You're probably going into your sophomore year if you're in the US and I promise you, it'll get a lot worse if you let it. Just do what you gotta do and get out man.

I'm actually in the US going into senior year, but yeah, I really try to enjoy it. It's just difficult because I go to a tiny school (~12 high schoolers) so the course offerings are pretty slim, resulting in me taking very few classes I actually enjoy.

I skipped 3rd and 8th grade. And absolutely! If you live in ATX and your parents have around $20k / year to spare :/ (freaking private schools)

Ah, good for you man. Yeah I've got my share of experience with private schools. Here around NYC there are some really top-tier private schools, of which the tuitions are $40,000/year. No, to anyone else reading this that isn't a joke.

I got in and most gave me a scholarship so now I only have to pay like $20,000. Much better! Oh well make the best of it, there are some great opportunities that come out of that. cheers

I like their fashion sense but I hate their condescension. more of an Australiaphile.
