Is it normal to hate school?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to hate school sometimes—or even most of the time. Classes, pressure, rules, or social drama can make the whole experience feel like a slog.

You might hate the work, the routine, the people, or just having so little say over how you spend your day. Plenty of people feel that way, even if they don’t say it out loud; it doesn’t mean you’re lazy or doomed to hate learning forever.

It’s worth paying attention if school feels unbearable because you’re being bullied, feel unsafe, or are struggling to get through each day. In that case, tell an adult you trust and ask for help—the problem may be more than ordinary school misery.
