Is it normal to dislike school?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes, it’s normal to dislike school, even if you like learning. The workload, social side, rules, or just having to be there every day can make it a slog.

Lots of people dislike some or all of school. You might enjoy certain subjects but hate tests, early mornings, strict schedules, social pressure, or feeling like you have little say in your day. That doesn’t mean you’re lazy or ungrateful; school just isn’t a good fit for everyone all the time.

People vary: some love school, some tolerate it, and some count the minutes until they can leave. If you dislike it because you feel unsafe, picked on, or so overwhelmed that it’s affecting your everyday life, tell a trusted adult who can help make things easier.
