I'm a sophmore in high school and well, I hate it. I'm just wondering if college and life in general is better. I've talked to older friends and they say they miss high school, it was the best time of their life. Is it weird I don't think so? ):

I was miserable in high school. Screw that noise, high school sucked. It's good for a majority of people, but there are plenty of people who hate life for those long four years.
It gets better, but it also gets worse. It's a different kind of better.
Right now, you're probably feeling the following:
You're spinning your wheels, but you aren't going anywhere.
You aren't doing anything that's actually worth anything, and this is frustrating.
No one else seems to understand this.
Once you get out into the real world, the stuff you do matters. When you get a job, (or at least a job that's worth good money) the decisions you make matter. It doesn't matter if you're skinny or fat, gorgeous or butt-ugly, you can make a place for yourself in the world.
In comparison, high school is like a bubble. It's insulated from the outside world; nothing you do really matters. Kids are made so miserable by the fact that they're unpopular that some of them commit suicide. It's a damn shame, because as soon as everyone leaves school, all that BS is forgotten. Your boss won't care that you didn't go to junior prom.
At the same time, you have responsibility. And that, for a lot of people, is scary. Personally, I love it. I love the fact that I have to watch what I spend, how I eat, and how I spend my time.
It is what you make of it. If you hate school itself, figure something else out that pleases you. For me, it was computer programming. I enjoyed it, it was a challenge, and I didn't have to do what other people told me to do; I could just go off on my own and do my own thing. Funny how nowadays I do whatever people tell me to do. That's irony, I guess.
Good god I hope it gets better..
i found that life got immeasurably better after high school. those were not the best days of my life. in fact life keep getting more rewarding with each passing year. Life should be just like any other endevour - you get better at it with practice.
I hated high school. Yes life is way better after high school. I don't miss it one bit.
same grade, feel the same way. AP and honors classes suck, i just wanna leave already -___-
