it is very normal, it has happened with almost everyone. you should find any alternative thing to do at school other than studies like any sport or any other thing which motivates you to go to school, this will help a lot.

It is normal to feel this way, but let's think about the positive experiences you had while you were in school

Make good friends at school. I used to enjoy going to school to meet my friends and learn new things . Motivate yourself by rewarding yourself with treats for going to school regularly. I really hope this helps and I hope you'll enjoy going to school.

This is perfectly normal during school age. However, try asking yourself what is the exact thing you dislike about school. Do you have any difficulties with your peers and/or teachers? Is it because you are not interested in what you are studying? Is it the atmosphere in general? In these cases, you could try talking to an adult you trust and figure out what to do next, whether it be changing the school or working out the current problems without radical change. However, if you don't like it because you lack motivation for studying or waking up early, maybe you should try setting your goals for the future, which hopefully will motivate you during tough times. Think of what you would like your future to be and what you can do to achieve it. Good luck!

Yeah It is totally normal! We all find ourselves not wanting to go to school every once in a while. You need to figure out why you don't want to school, and handle that issue. How do you feel when you go to school? Are you having a hard time academically or socially? Those are things that you can improve, so no worries! Actually, school, altough it is forced on us sometimes, is a great place to learn new things and make friends for life. Maybe you just need to look at the positive opportunities school has to offer you.

I know how you feel! I remember feeling that way in school. I figured out the things I liked about school. Figuring out what you like about school is the first step into making school a little more comfortable. Ask yourself, when do I feel the most comfortable when I am in school? When does school not seem like a drag? Ask yourself if the reason you don't like school is because you are struggling with the schoolwork. Perhaps you may need some assistance with your assignments. I know when I was in school I realized that I didn't like going everyday for fear of students finding out I was struggling with the work.

I think it's the most normal thing for a school goer. Well, it's common among a lot of grown up workign people as well :P (They dont' want to go to work, or every monday, they keep waiting for weekend). The thing is, Think about the reason, why don't you want to go to school? Is there a Bully ? Is there a lot of homework ? Is someone harrassing you ? Is there any other problem which you are unable to share with anyone ? If you find the right problem, discuss with yrou parents, teachers and even friends. Think in a way to make the school a better place, where you want to go everyday, meet friends, play, study and most importantly... LEARN. If there is an adult reading this answer, who wait for weekends on every monday, You need to rethink about your career.
