Is it normal to hate high school?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to hate high school. The pressure, social scene, classes, or lack of control can make it a rough time, even if other people seem to love it.

High school can be a lot: you’re juggling classes, social drama, expectations, and being around the same people all day. Plenty of people dislike it or just count down until they can move on, and that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you.

Some people genuinely enjoy high school, while others find it lonely, boring, stressful, or all of the above. If you hate it because someone is bullying you or you don’t feel safe, tell a trusted adult—you shouldn’t have to handle that alone.
