I don’t really have an end goal in school, I have no current aspirations, no clue what I would like to pursue after I finish

It’s just so frustrating to try and do something I don’t have the will power to do

if you like ur subjects go for it
 
Well you either need to lock in to the point of getting into a decent university (Oxford, Cambridge or your countries equivalent level of university) or legit just give up on that shit and become a plumber or sparky then go to uni for a party degree just for the experience later on.

The truly worst path is a low tier degree from a low tier university and becoming a low end white collar worker. Trades will easily out earn you for far less work.

Yes because it will shape your long term life outcome.

Stability is a factor in life that is so under-looked in the sense that; if you can not hold down a career, whatever that may be (doesn't have to he 9-5 working for someone else), you will never LTR with marriage and kids.

People always appeal to celebrities with brand deals who didn't go to uni. "Oh, but look at (Insert Reality TV show star who built a career and sustained it here)". You're not them. And even then, MOST famous people who don't pursue higher education end up falling off (washed up YouTubers, TV stars, Z list celebs)

The reality is, if you don't graduate and become employable, not only will you be financially insecure, you will be FAR more unlikely to adequately reproduce and raise offspring in a loving family environment.

Hope I gave you motivation.

Yeah, if you're still young and there may still be salvation. School is not the only way to get successful in life but it definitely the easier, let's be real, chances are you're not special and won't be rich ever, you'll likely end up working a shitty 9-5 for the rest of your life. However, if you get good grades, you may have a chance of working the same shitty 9-5, but for significantly better pay lol.

Academic success improves your chances of getting into a good college, a good college boosts your worth when applying to jobs and gives you access to highly valuable individuals (rich kids, smart people, parents of rich kids, politician kids, parents of politicians). Why does this matter? Because that way, you can easily latch onto people who're more talented or privileged than you and improve your chances of success in life.

It isn't to say that you can't find success and escape the 9-5 life, start a business and become a trillionaire in the future, but we have to be realistic, that probably won't be you, pick the path that offers you better outcomes unless you really believe you're special.

School is useless drop out and take GED
 
Your wasting your life in this rat race while others who work significantly less harder than you earn quadruple what you will ever learn. Do you want to be free out of the matrix or keep coping with grades? Pick your choice, and if you pick the first one PM me and I will introduce you to my course.
