School was always the worst times of my life
The more serious it was (like college, and high school, and then trying to go back) were the worst days of my life.
Although I took one class in June and it wasn’t bad at all.
For me it was the other people that made it hell. I wish I was homeschooled.
What was it for you that caused you to dislike it?
It wasn’t the work but i wasn’t good at that either.
It was a lot of things. I wasn’t too fond of most of the kids in my grade anyways.
But when I was 11 or 12 I started a swift decline where I stopped being healthy and probably had symptoms of sz
My obvious answer would be “my mental health made it difficult for me”. But at the time I just hated the kids because they bullied and harassed me along time.
I remember being sucker punched in the mouth on my birthday in 2007 (junior year) and my best friend didn’t even come to back me up he just turned around.
So even my best friend I couldn’t count on for that much i thought
I am sorry to hear that. I had best friends too who just stood by and did nothing when I needed them to help me.
The worst example was when I told someone in my small group of friends I had been diagnosed with Sz, and I have not heard from them since.
I find comfort in the fact that as an adult, you don’t have to tolerate this kind of thing on a daily basis. For me that’s why I am glad that it’s all over.

Hated school, liked work. I think the main thing was my peers were older and more understanding/accepting when i worked. School was just me being bullied and failing at everything.
Then i went to uni after working for awhile and liked it at first, then somewhere along the way i started to loathe it. I felt so isolated in uni for some reason. Now im here getting ready to go to training for work and building myself up.
Hope i enjoy work like i used to, its going to be weird with schizophrenia maybe.
I felt the same way about school.
I also found University very isolating, but somehow got through it.
Work isn’t too bad for me. I do feel like sometimes people think I am a certain way personality wise when I have problems, but I go off sick when things are really bad.
School was great for me, I had good parents, good friends, a nice house, did well in school. It all went upside down when I was 16 though, around the same time I started smoking weed. All of a sudden I could not make it through college, did not want to work and was in a constant state of anxiety. Started hearing voices not long afterwards. It is only recently that I have been able to work and apply for college again.
I loved University. I could handle the academics easily as long as I didn’t have to deal with other people. I isolated a lot but had my books to turn to. Of course, school didn’t last forever, so now I have a Master’s degree and no job because most jobs require you to interact with people and I just can’t do it without coming across as paranoid or just plain weird. I wish I could’ve done school forever.
I went to boarding school from 8 to 18 because my father was a diplomat. I wasn’t suited to it. I was mildly teased at prep school (8-13) , and badly verbally bullied at public school(13-18).
Neither, but my physical health is ruining it so far
School was great. Always had friends and from 16 on that’s where all the women were. I was a late bloomer.
I was in a fraternity in college. We had a blast. Of course I wasn’t sick yet. I got married my last year of college too and had a family. That’s where life began.
