I've done so far is go to school, and then after I finish school I will work
until I die. It seems pointless. I might not even get into college which will
make it hard for me to get a good job which also seems pointless. I don't want
to work until I die, it doesn't seem worth it. It isn't worth it for me to
struggle at school to do pointless assignments and learn useless information
and then go home and struggle with feeling worthless and pointless. I don't want
to do this anymore and so I am stuck in this overwhelming mentality of giving
up. Maybe I'm just lazy but I just can't find meaning in my struggles. I will
struggle only to continue to struggle and then I will die. I'd rather just die
without the struggle, without the depression and the feelings of worthlessness
and the sense of impending doom. I hate myself. I hate this life. Sorry for
ranting. </span></p>

you are in early stages of learning who you are, what you like, and what you
want to do in life. You do not have to make a life plan that has to be
followed for 50 years without change. This is the time where you take a
variety of classes, try different school activities, possibly work different
types of part time jobs, and right now focus on making the best grades in
school that you can. High grades help get scholarships for college.
The classes you are taking in school may seem pointless at the moment,
but they are actually like building blocks for the next set of classes. </span></p>

</span><p style="color:rgb(63, 63, 63);font-family:tahoma;font-size:16px;"><span>Talk to your school counselor to see if there is something they can help you
with to find the meaning you are looking for. While the future may not
look fun at this point in life, there are many different experiences you will
have and places you can go if you choose. Get a good education to move
forward in a work career doing something you enjoy doing. </span><br></p>
