Hey Huntress,

I would advise you to find your own interest in life.

<Digression>How to find your own interest in life? Consider that any project worth doing needs five years to implement. So, if you work during 40 years and perhaps lose 10 years due to having kids, you may do 6 projects in your whole life. What would you want to have done when you'll be sixty/seventy? Now order them so that the first helps the second to happen, and so on. Now you have your first goal, and you'll be more driven than anybody in your class, or, probably, than anybody in your school including the adults.</Digression>

How is this a solution? Well, when you know what you want to do, you don't lose anymore time on other people. They don't want to use their time on this earth? Well, you do.

Also word of warning, watch your 6. Nothing annoys the disruptive more than seeing the gap between themselves and "good" students. They will try to make you more like them. DON'T let them.

No need to worry about me. I'm not really interested in being immature and ruining my life. :roll:
Spoken like a true teenager. :lol:
Keep that vim (vis?) young lady! The older you get, the more you need it.

Aye, it was one of the best grammar schools in SE England at the time (measured by number of pupils gaining places at Oxbridge)
That sounds scarily like Hastings Grammar (and the comments about 'Masters'), before it's lobotomy.
I'll second the 'teach yourself something' approach, even in a good school you should find what makes you 'tick'. For me, bizarrely, it was Number Theory.
