My parents force me to get sleep, so I am constantly trying to fight to keep my grades above a D+, and also have a social life because I feel like I'm dying of loneliness. Fuck school. I'm glad I only have 40 days left.

I can help you with studying if you want. As long as you're not taking advanced classes
Okay but seriously, how often does it take you that long to do your homework?
I got through high school doing the homework for the 8-10 classes in the half hour bus ride to school, and would do the homework for the 10-12 during the 8-10 classes and so on, I'm now in engineering school.
Is it an actual thing in the USA where you actually have that much homework. Also, you usually don't study ALL subjects everyday, meaning that you usually have onely half as much work to do.
Finally, its homework, who cares about homework as long as you understand the material? I mean, appart from stuff you have to hand over to the teacher, I didn't really care if I had done my homeworkd or not, I knew I could wing maths/physics/chemistry since high school stuff is literally always doing the same shit, and for any literary stuff I just needed a few bullet points ideas to be able to wing it too.
Its high school, its not that hard.

It is a thing. Teachers give you about 30-60 minutes of homework everyday for each class. In my school, it was split in 8 hour segments. You had the morning classes, lunch, then afternoon classes. Every teacher gave me homework, including PE. It was aweful. Especially my senior year when I took 4 english classes, 2 of which were AP

Like, the homework ITSELF wasn't hard, it's the sheer amounts that you're forced to do at once that kills us
Damn, I'm glad thats not the case in France. What are the consequences if you don't do your homework ?
Because, in France, since I understood the subject and did well during tests none of my teachers gave me a hard time when I didn't have the work done. The harshest would give a hard time to students who were failing exams and still not doing homework, but if you were doing well, no harm no foul (any papers you had to turn in aside of course).

If your teacher is really nice, you can turn it in late, but it'll be a letter grade down. So if you were supposed to get an A, as punishment, your grade will be a B instead. Not your whole grade, but the one on your homework. Majority of teachers refuse late work and you get a zero
My teachers would assign homework due each night even though we only had a few classes each day, but I couldn't do homework on car rides or buses because I'd get sick and couldn't multitask. Teachers at my school wouldn't except late work or mark down a letter grade for everyday that it was late. I also had 4 hours of practice for dance 2 days a week so it is really hard to cram everything in there for highschool. It wasn't necessarily hard work but understanding everything new in a short amount of time and processing/doing tons of homework was difficult
All homework is graded ? Holy cow ! Homework in France just gets corrected on the board, so if you haven't done it, and the teacher doesn't check (checking depends on the teacher, some never do it, some always do it, so you usually know what is gonna get you into trouble if you don't do it), and you aren't sent to correct it you're in the clear.
Hell, my method wouldn't have worked for that, when I say I did my homework in the bus, I meant slamming a series of formulas in physics with no text whatsoever, because thats all I need to explain my reasoning if I'm sent to correct that, but theres no way my teacher would give me a passing grade for the unreadable shit I would hand over.
I completely agree, unfortunately (in the UK at least) the curriculum is completely age-inappropriate it's not right and most teachers will try their best to cover things in lessons but for a lot of children extra work is needed just to keep up with the 'expected' level. This has a knock on effect for teachers who need to work extra hours to produce, mark and feedback on this work, this in turn leads to burn out so new teachers often leave after just 5 years on the profession meaning there's a lack of experienced teachers.
Or simply have zero social life
