Hi,

Recently I switched schools, my reasons being that people in my old school didn't talk much Estonian, and even some teachers were unable to speak Estonian on an understandable level.

The new school has definitely more people than my old one, my class is also bigger(~20 girls, 3 boys, with me included). First day went okay, it turned out that all my creepiest and most horrible fantasies just stayed fantasies.

Some things got worse. The teachers. They all speak Estonian, but some of them are rather boring, which makes their lessons boring. The biggest problem is that the boring teachers are the teachers of the subjects of which I am interested in. Maths and physics teachers are some old slow hags. They know what they're talking about, but there's just no "excitement" in their talk. The maths teacher in my old school wasn't exactly young either, but at least she spoke about it with excitement in her voice, and wasn't so passive. English, which was my main concern at the old school, isn't actually better. I'd say that the teacher in my old school, who didn't speak Estonian, at least was more active, and something at least happened in the lesson. Here, the class is given some stupid ass paper, which can be fullfilled in like 10 minutes. But it wasn't completely checked even by the time the lesson had ended, 1h 50 minutes after the lesson had started. Oh, others used laptops and dictionaries, and took longer than me to finish(not trying to sound elitist). At my old school, with that time we could've complete at least 2 different papers, and check them, and do even more. Without laptops and dictionaries. Also, the students, at least in my class, are very passive. There's almost no activity. It seems like all their energy has been sucked out.

Also the classrooms are cold. I'm not sure if the rooms are vented all day long, there are heat leaks, or no heating at all. It's 8° C outside.

Overall, my expectations were hyped up a lot. And then when I changed, almost all of them were crushed. At least there's no swimming this quarter of the year, and the food is better, as promised.

I don't regret the decision of actually making the change, because otherwise I would've, probably, regretted it for the rest of my life. However, at the same time, I'm not happy at all with the change. My expectations were a bit higher, and now they have been demolished. When thinking about it, I think I were a bit too critical about my old school. Also, I was blaming everything on others, which was very unthoughtful of me. After the change I realised that it was actually me just being depressed.

Now that I've changed the schools, I'm feeling empty. I'm not feeling happy, nor am I feeling very sad. Just depressed or unmotivated(don't know which one to choose). There are still no changes for the better, and I still don't have any certain goals in my mind. I did realise however, that going to a university is not something which I have to definitely do. The last few years I have thought that if I don't go to a university, I'll be worthless, won't get a job and can go die in a crowded place, because no one would care anyways. I've thought about it, and realised that there's a really slim chance of getting in to a university, when there's no money. I could possibly get a free spot in a university, but then I wouldn't have the money to pay for an apartment. The university on which I've had my eyes on for the longest time, offers curriculums on things which I'm mostly not interested in, technical subjects such as computer science, genetics engineering, electro energetics etc. Of course there are some things which I'm interested in also, otherwise I wouldn't have had my eye on that university.

Although I don't have anything against those technical subjects, I just don't see myself doing those things. I'd rather study psychology, cultures, or write books, because writing somehow comes out naturally for me(unless there's a book report which I have to write). Writing books seems like an option, but that seems too risky for me.

I've also, for the last 6 moths, been thinking of dropping out high school entirely. I don't have problems with my grades, but problems with motivation. As I wrote before, I'm feeling empty, and without certain goals. I've thought that after I'd drop out of high school, I'd go to the compulsory army service, and after that go to a vocational school, where I could get a skill, which is required in the job market, but doesn't certainly make a lot of money. After that when I could get a job, I'd try to get my high school diploma, from a specialized school, and try doing something useful with it. Dropping out of high school is definitely a bad idea, because so much of our life depends on that little paper. But I just don't have any will to continue. I'd probably be kicked of the house as well(or maybe not). Of course there are some individuals who haven't finished high school, and are successful, but they're definitely rare.

I think deep inside I know that I don't want to drop out of high school, but at the same time I don't want to continue in the current school, or go back to my old one. If I'd drop out I'd probably try to get a shitty job and build my way up from there, try to get my high school diploma, and do something useful with it.

Or die trying, hungry.

Don't know what to do anymore.

PS! Sorry for my English.

Your english is quite good actually, minus slight overuse of commas.

I almost dropped out of high school in my senior year (LVA, supposedly one of the top 3 highschool's in US) after taking way too many AP classes in addition to studying/practicing classical guitar. Instead, I switched to a school that would allow me to complete my necessary credits (2) and finished in 2 weeks. I encourage you to do the same if the option is available to you, because high school is a load of shit.

Don't drop out of high school. Just finish and you can live a more free life later on. I know it's unbelievably hard and the future can be bleak and high school is sort of a hell hole, but the whole motivation and knowing what to do in life really just comes later in life for most people. University isn't the only answer to post high school, it is a good one but there are alternatives as long as you are honest with yourself and naturally curious about something in the world. Then you can make anything of life.

I'll ask something the great German poet Maria Rainer Rilke asks all writers: do you, when lying in bed in the middle of the night, feel that you have to, above all, write? There's really no easy way to find out or decide to write for a living, it's kind of a survival thing: you have to have to write to make it through the inevitable disappointments and criticisms.

As for psychology, it's an incredibly interesting subject. The only caveat is you really need a graduate degree to get a decent job in the field, or so I've heard. I'm in psych and considering majoring in psych and minor comp science, and maybe later in grad school study cognitive science. Or become a therapist, lol.

Also the classrooms are cold. I'm not sure if the rooms are vented all day long, there are heat leaks, or no heating at all. It's 8° C outside.

Try living in Canada, eh?

His comma usage is fine, but his delivery is tangential, unfocused, so he ends up with all of these fragments, of sorts, thrown together, if you see what I mean.

No matter where you are, schooling is very likely going to be a downer at some point in your life. But things are expected of you by society -- and they aren't prepared to judge your individual ability until you've jumped through their hoops. The best you can do in this kind of environment is work and learn for yourself, for your own benefit, and pursuing what you enjoy. Don't let other students' lack of motivation or your teachers' poor instruction distract you from your own goals.

Not everything that counts is counted and not everything that's counted counts.

I suggest that you go to the library and check out some books on the things that you are interested in. That way during class once you get done with the work you can take out a book and read over something that you actually want to be learning. You could supplement whatever math and physics you are learning with some good books on the subject so that you can understand it on an even deeper level. Maybe look at the course syllabi from the university you are interested in and find out what books the intro to whatever classes use and try to check those books out... A tleast you will have the power to decide what interests you and how you spend your time outside of the class.

Don't stress yourself out too much. High school is only a stepping stone to college and nothing else. Use that time to try different stuff and find out what you really like to do. When I was in high school I had no idea what I would study after it. Initially I thought about studying psychology, but eventually I came to the conclusion that it was not worth it, so I went to the finnish equivalent of computer science instaed. This was around 6 months after finishing high school.

Thinking rationally about it, dropping out of high school probably wouldn't work out that well. That would slim down my future options quite significantly and that's not something that I want. I've also done some investigating about finishing high school early, but that seems to be very unrealistic to pull off.

Well, during the winter it can get quite cold here. I don't want the heating to be turned off when it's -30°C.
