Far out, man
I graduated somehow, but any kind of math beyond Algebra was the death of me.

Ah, I loved English 
and maths. Still really enjoy maths now actually and I'm 25
Worst subject for me was art. Not because I didn't like it particularly but because I just wasn't any good at it. Always felt like a complete waste of time for me

I hated math in my school days. It was hard, confusing, and most of it doesn't apply to my life outside of school.
In college I hated all the math-related classes, like accounting and economics. It's more relevant in adult life, but it's still hard and confusing.

When I was younger, math took the cake for me. I wanted to cry every time we had to prove this shape is a rectangle and all that jazz. A lot of math felt like a waste of time aside from the necessary things. I didn't start appreciating it until college where I finally had great professors make sense of it.
As much as I loved reading and writing, I didn't enjoy English classes all that much. The reading material was incredibly dry and boring; it pained me to over-analyze every detail in each book we read. The struggle, lol.

Social Studies/History/Geography, ect. I find it incredibly boring and it's extremely repetitive. We learn the SAME exact things, just I have to learn more minute details that I don't care about and won't need later in life. The only "plus" side to social studies is that it's generally super easy, but that goes back to the fact that we're learning the same stuff. In 8th grade we learned the same thing as we did in 5th grade, and my 7th grade geography teacher said that we would have about same course in 10th.

attention gamers,
Math.
No matter how much you try, you just can't make Math fun.
I'm good at it, it's just so BORING. And lots of it is unnecessary.
When I was younger they always forced us to "show our work," by making us draw CHARTS AND GRAPHS AND ***** while the problem could easily be solved with either mental math, a calculator or some simple number scribbles on the paper.
I never understood and still don't why we always had to draw useless pictures to go along with our work.
In class the teachers would always teach us the harder way of doing everything. Coming up with all these complicated useless steps and did practice problems with the class with said complicated steps. I'd just sit around and completely ignore what was happening (and also doodle, which I do A LOT in math class and have gotten yelled at for it on several occasions) and then when the teacher told us to do a problem by ourselves I'd just whip through it using simple common sense math calculation.
In the real world we're very rarely going to be asked to draw pictures to go along with math work, or have the time to.
The average person doesn't draw circles and boxes when balancing a checkbook, paying bills, calculating grades if you're a teacher, finding data results if you're a scientist, etc etc etc. Okay scientists might use graphs sometimes but I doubt they go out of their way to draw """"seventeen boxes to represent seventeen cells!!! And then put an X over 6 of the boxes to represent the 6 cells that the substance killed!! And now your picture shows that there are 11 cells that are not affected!!! When in reality you didn't need to waste your time drawing this stupid picture at all!!! But in second grade we wouldn't count your work if you didn't do the PRESCISE and USELESS steps that we told you to do!!!1!1!1!"""""""
Luckily we don't have to draw useless pictures anymore. But we are still taught useless things sometimes.
And if it counts, lunch. I like lunch because eating is great and all of course (and my school serves really nice things for snack during lunch, like hot pretzels and pudding with whipped cream and chocolate chips etc [though the actual lunch they serve is disgusting]) but what I hate about it is having to sit with hundreds of annoying kids everyday. In my school, on the first day you choose which lunch table you sit at, then you sit there for the rest of the year.
Last year in the first day I sat at a table because there were some kids I recognized from the previous year who seemed like nice people. I ended up regretting that decision.

History isn't the greatest subject either but our teacher is funny and he plays lots of games and stuff with us in an attempt to make the subject more enjoyable.

Yeah, I agree with you there, all we did was learn like random stuff later on rather than grammar and useful situations.. I mean I don't mind reading books either but when you could chose from two equivalent boring books.. uh no.

Probably science. I just really didn't find it very inspiring, which was more down to the teachers I suppose.
PE was pretty awful too, again because of the teachers. Have never seen people love themselves so much as the ones at my school. And they weren't nice people

I found Physics and Chemistry to be the hardest subjects for me at school. Biology was my most boring subject and I genuinely hated the lessons. I actually had a really great Physics teacher but I just was awful at it. And I used to think I was bad at maths but I'm actually not as bad as I thought I was. Although I can't really remember a lot of what I learned anymore.
