Gender : Intersex — if you’re confused. Yes, I was born that way. Refer to me any pronoun you like.
And yes, I’m probably younger than you expected.
Also, yes, I like to read books on all subjects. English is a national language in the Philippines if you’re wondering because of historical American colonization.

I'll try to make this as brief as possible, but I just hate school. I didn't always hate it, even when it was bad. I went to a christian school with extremely poor academics but a wonderful community for six years, then spent highschool in a competitive arts school. While I always had some kind of underlying depression and anxiety issues, highschool brought it out in full force. It was a terrible experience and I've told everyone who will listen that I will not re-live it.
I was pretty set on my decision not to go back to college because of this. I have never had a long term goal in life, the closest to one I had was to graduate high school, which I barely made. But with a dog and a girlfriend who I aim to do the best for, I realized I have to further my education in some way to get paid enough to thrive.
The issue still remains- I hate school. I hate it so much I feel sick and the thought of going back gives me such a fight or flight reflex that I feel like I should be medicated for it. The thought of putting a pencil to paper in a classroom while a teacher (or now professor) lectures about something, interacting with other students, taking tests- it all makes me want to flip. I despise every aspect of it, but I know I need to get over this to make money.
How do I get past this? Is it even possible to make money without going to college or trade school? I used to not care about being poor, but I don't want that for those who'll be living with me. I just... really hate formal education. (link)

Maybe you can try homeschooling, online school or independent self study (unschooling).
Start by searching the blog, “I’m Unschooled. Yes, I can write.”

Check out Thomas Frank’s blog and channel for all kinds of new and unique study techniques. Check out litemind for memory techniques, Scott Young for understanding things better, and flashcard apps like Anki or Memrise to help put things in your brain.
Also see Crash Course on Youtube for all kinds of subjects said in a way that helps manages boredom, complete with silly off the beat animations for today’s lack of attention spans.
