I DREAD school and im so depressed?

Im sorry this is so long

(sorry, plz excuse the picture, my brother did it and I just haven't changed it yet) anyway, I'm in 10th grade (my 2nd year of high school) and I'm dreading school so much... I have always been an OK student I guess, like I pass the tests and stuff, but I don't study much and I SUCK at essays. well last year my grades stressed me out every night, I would have long days of school and dance and I would get home and just cry for an hour in my room because I felt so stuck and helpless. ANWAY, I still feel terrible about my grades (meaning I still worry about them) but something feels different in me now... like lately when I go into my room to cry, I find myself thinking about EVERYTHING about school and stuff, like for instance, I will find myself imagining myself at my locker in the morning, or going into band (omg, band destroyed me last year too, I HATE HATE HATE it, its so crowded in that small room and I feel sweaty and irritated in there, but my parents will NOT let me quit without me feeling bad) and I cry harder. lately I have been feeling really stuck and feel like, this is my whole life, and this is how it is going to be forever... I know its not (Maybe?) but I cant convince myself... anyway, I know im depressed and it has effected other things in my life as well... (Im not gonna get into detail, but im sure you can see where Im going?) AP world history doesn't help me out, and I hate that too, I feel like the dumbest kid in the class.. (and everyone knows it too) oh God, sorry this is so long ): thnx for the help (10 [pts)

    I am so sorry you're going through this! Please know that you are not alone in this. I'm in highschool too now as a junior and I just can't stand it at all! I used to be a good student for the first 2 years but this year my grades just went down the toilet. I started getting interested in spirituality this year and I just can't stand anything that doesn't have to do with it! I'm so tired of this way of living that we have here. We work for 7 long hours in school, sometimes have afterschool clubs or sports, then have hours of homework and then we repeat the whole process the next day. And our weekends aren't even free time because we still have homework. And then we go to college to prepare us for a job that we will probably hate and only have because we need the money. And then the government uses that money for things we could often care less about like useless wars.

    I don't mean to rant but this world we live in is truly messed up. People are so negative and judgemental too and they think that just having a formal education and getting a high paying job all of a sudden makes you a better person. That is not true at all! We are all the same, we're all one species, there is no difference between us. Yes, some people are smarter than others, but they usually have bigger egos though! I don't want to discourage you but school really does suck and our system needs to change. They're working us like left-brained robots and increasing the school hours in many countries. My advice to you is try to convince your parents to let you drop out of any extra activities that you don't like or need. If a class is too hard for you, ask them to let you switch to regular ones. I wish you best of luck and remember that you are not stupid. You are just different, which is a good thing, because most people aren't even aware of the corrupt system that we live in today. You can feel free to email me if you need advice. Good luck :-)

    You should not escape just by saying that you do not gonna get into detail. (Refer your last but third line in narration). How can I see where you are going. I don't know anything about clairvoyance. I am here. You are there in an unknown place And if you say that you are absconding from your existing place, how can I search for you. Pl. don't confuse me.

    I sacrifice the 10 points. You can give it to anybody or not. I don't want to bother about points. I am only interested in your good Mental Health.
