“ I hate school,and I'm not going back! ”

Have you ever had that thought? Lots of kids do. Usually this feeling doesn’t last long. But what will happen if you feel this way too much? School is a fact of life and getting an education can help you build the kind of future life you want. So let's talk about school and what to do when you don't like it.

If you don't like school,the first step is finding out why. You might not like school because a bully is bothering (打擾) you,or because a kid you don't like wants to hang around with you. Or maybe you don't get along with your teacher. You might feel different or worry that you don't have enough friends.

Sometimes it's a problem with your classes and schoolwork. Maybe the work is too easy and you get bored. Or maybe the work is too hard,or you don't feel as smart as the other kids. Reading may be difficult for you,but youVe expected to do a lot of it. You may be getting farther and farther behind,and it may seem like you’ll never catch up.

It's a good idea to talk to someone about your problems with school. If you feel you can't keep up with your schoolwork,your teachers and school teachers want to help. If all of your subjects seem really hard,a teacher can help you sort things out. Special help is available if you need it. Try not to let the problems go on too long. It's easier to catch up on one chapter than the whole book!

It's especially important to tell an adult if the problem is that you’re being bullied or someone hurts you physically.

Another good idea is to write down your feelings about school in a diary. It's a great way to let out feelings that may be stuck inside you. And you don't have to share what you’ve written with others.
