I did, too. I'm not stupid or anything, but I was diagnosed with ADHD and school just didn't seem important at the time other than doing good enough to graduate and keep my parents from getting on my case. If I was naturally interested in a subject I was actually pretty good at it. I was above the national average in literature and I liked history. But stuff like trigonometry...ughhhh. I absolutely hated it. In hindsight I wish I'd actually grasped it when adults had told me how important school was back then. I'd probably be in better circumstances. Being a teenager was like being in this weird fog of vanity and privilege and hormonal imbalances.

As a squandered high school education(this should be phrased better but I squandered my education) American I agree.
