I Hate School, But I Love Learning and YES, It Does Make Sense

I hate school. There I said it. And if any of my peers find this--that would be very bad btw--I know that you're surprised. I can practically hear you.
"Did you hear?"
"That girl who gets straight As hates school."
"She's lying."
"Doesn't she read like, fifty books a day?"
"Didn't she skip a grade?"
I'm not lying. School really makes me want to vomit. First off, I dislike kids my age except for my friends. Second, my school diminishes individuality. Third, school tests memorization not knowledge. Also, they make me read books I don't want to read.

I love learning. Now I can hear you again.
"But didn't she just say that she hates school?"
"That makes no sense."
"Huh?"
"OMG! Make up your mind."
But ah my friend...it makes perfect sense. I love reading and learning new stuff and it's SO MUCH FUN! Honestly! Learning new things sends a certain adrenaline through my veins. When I'm speaking intellectually to someone I feel happiest. When I am experimenting or reading I am most comfortable. But going to school makes me depressed, exhausted, anxious. Learning makes me happy, full of life. When reading a book, I am drinking an elixir of life. When at school, a draught of death fills me.
Now you can say that it makes no sense, but maybe you're not thinking hard enough.
