Bruh you’re in for a rough life if you’re losing motivation before you graduate high school

Oh I relate to that tbh
There are definitely times that I personally feel like “what’s even the point?”
But then I remember some long-term goal of mine, keep my head down, and keep going
I definitely recommend setting long-term goals, and making them challenging but attainable, as it’s a great source of motivation on the occasions I feel like giving up on something
Also, you’re at the perfect age to join a sport. Maybe pick one that requires more brute-force determination than skill with a ball if the “standard” sports don’t appeal to you. Competitive running, swimming, biking, and especially rowing are all great ways to help you stay mentally and physically fit. Highly recommend.

Sure but be sure to join a sport next school semester
Trust me - it may seem daunting if you haven’t been doing one, but it is the first choice you can make to start taking control of the apathy you’re feeling and turning it around, putting you in control.

I mean.
I have lots of pent up anger. Fighting might be a nice way to reduce it.
my dad does boxing at times.
I guess why am I doing this.
I’ll gladly stop myself from going insane to a point where I think of beating up a kid at my school and instead just do the same thing with someone who is willing to and is also willing to fight back.
Personally I’ve been blessed to be incredibly resistant to stress and very in-control of my thoughts and emotions, and I also never struggled at all in classes even when the courseload was twice as hard as anybody else in my grade. So I know that, personally, I never really had to face any of the issues that plague a lot of people’s teenage/young adult years.
However, I also firmly believe that that resilience is not entirely innate - the things I have chosen to do with my life, especially Scouting and rowing, have helped to build up my mental strength just as much as my physical strength, and I truly believe in the value of hard work and dedication.
If you’re ever feeling like things don’t matter, the solution, at least in my experience, is probably to do more and more challenging things with your time. Learning time management skills and how to cope with difficulty and improve as a result is immensely rewarding, and I feel it’s something many more could stand to learn.

Actually hell yeah do some sort of martial art
That will both allow you to get out your feelings through punches, and if your instructor is worth their salt, instill the discipline to never have to come to blows with anybody for real.
