I have no desire anymore....
Ok some of you may think this is extremely dumb and think I am nuts; but when you have no desire, you don't want to do much. In Sept, I got my heart broken by a guy I was in love with, my first of everything, so it was a killer. But when the left, he took my everything including my desire to continue with my education. I started missing days for no reason, just staying home for no reason; now I am up to 15.5 days of absence. Meaning I can't be absent without a doctor excuse, which blows because no one goes to the doctor for a tummy ache or just a migrane(which I suffer with a lot). But not only so, I just don't like the atmosphere at school, it's a drag. This whole area is depressed, there isn't much us teens can do without getting into trouble. So legally, I can pull myself out of school and I've talked it over with my mom, she doesn't agree but can't make me stay since I am legally able to drop out. Everyone gives me the, "you're too bright, you have a lot going for you, you could be anything you wanted, you could go anywhere you wanted... why settle for a GED or even shut the doors to all those opportunities?" But I can't just tell them I have no desire anymore, they wouldn't understand. So my question is.... should I just stick this year out (I have till the end of May.. which is like 80 something days) or do what I think will give me peace of mind and drop out? Please help me because no one around me seems to be... I'll rate good, promise!!!!

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
I'm not a doctor, but what you described really sounds like it could be depression. Migraines and stomach pains are also pretty serious indicators that something's not right.
Rather than take a step which could screw up your whole future, why not talk to your mother or doctor about getting a evaluation from a mental-health professional? They could almost certainly help you, even if you don't have depression.
You certainly don't have to live an empty life, without feeling. You can have desire and happiness again. And talking to a professional about all this will help. Don't wait.
Additional: You've been misinformed. Your medical history is PRIVATE, by federal law - I'm in the business, and I've been trained in this area, so I know what I'm talking about. That includes any treatment for psychological problems, as well. Neither colleges nor any future employer will be aware of ANY treatment that you've received.
As for what type of professional to see, you might talk to your primary care doctor first - but I suspect that she or he would probably refer you to a psychiatrist for an evaluation, rather than a psychologist. Psychiatrists are medical doctors, and can prescribe medication. Psychologists cannot. Of course, medication may not be needed or appropriate in your case. But in many cases, it can be a real boon.

well... I am going through something simmaler, I have lost my whole desire for education after falling in love with this girl... & its all messed up, so, I'm not going to get into that... but, I do feel I have lost my desier
but, I think I'm going to drop out & just do homeschooling & graduate a year early & just get over all this... I can't support my personal life & my school work at the sametime... & you can blame my math teacher for that
it is all your decision, if you no longer have the desire, then drop out... but if you do have somewhat of a desire, then keep going... but the next year, you probolly still will not have any desire...
but it is all your decision, both my sisters dropped out & I might too... & I belive there is nothing wrong with it
I wish you the best of luck

Ok I hope this helped at leasta alittle bit.

ok im a senior in high school and i realize how hard it can be to put up with school. You have to realize how important it really is to just finish this year and get you GED. Sure times are tough but trust me its going to be a lot better when you are trying to get a decent job when you have a GED to back you up.
Do you really want to work at MCDONALDS your whole life??
I sure wouldn't
After theese few months you have left everything will be just fine.
Don't throw away your future when you are soo close to completing a major part of it.
I hope things work out.
Talk to me more if things get tougher ok
