Depressing indeed, 
I finished highschool in 1968, bored out of my mind mostly, coasted through in a daze … hated it .. “could do better if only he tried.”
Got lucky, worked driving cabs at night, university daytimes and it went well … hyper focused on Lit at U of T and got out with an honours B.A., and never used it ..laughs became a cook, stock broker, to court reporter, factory worker … etc.
Finally diagnosed ADHD in August, plus Anxiety and entitlement issues … the latter was a surprise. Gradually, getting in touch
with the rest of the planet … nice to find out what the problem was. .. good luck.
