You are a complete and total a$$! :|
Sounds like someone calling for help, to me, not some over-rightous crap from a 21 year old know-it-all.
Anyway, idNut, when did these feelings start? Do you have someone you're close to (family member or friend) who you can talk to? Communication is essential when you have those feelings, it can lead to much worse if you let it.
You hate school? Well if you're not in school, what else are you going to do to kill time? Don't tell me you want to go out and get some minimum wage job so that you can pay for a nice ride.
It drove a lot of us mad but we all stuck around.

Idnut- there is no way around it, that sounds like a serious problem. PLEASE go and talk to a doctor or conselor about this. Regardless of some of the cynics here, no one wants you to do something dangerous or extreme when you go into an episode like the one you described.
High School can be very frustrating. Talking it out with someone who is qualified will be of great help, because they can give you a plan to focus on finding direction and things that challenge and interest you.
Balance is so important in life. Unfortunetly, we all find ourselves doing things that we don't want to do for some other purpose (to get into college or to get a good job...), but if you can focus your energy to find a good balance, then you will still be able to do things that you enjoy. Being the person you are and doing the things you want is equally important to doing the things you "have" to do.
edit: I really hope you feel better

LMAO! Nice....
Oh yeah. The hormone attacks will cease once you complete puberty. Grow up. It gets WORSE once you enter the real world and have to bend over daily w/o the benefit of Vaseline b/c you have a kid to support and bills to pay. :| Enjoy your time now, you "poor misunderstood, overworked and unloved" kid.

AGORAPHOBIA
The term agoraphobia has been widely misunderstood. Its literal definition suggests a fear of "open spaces". However, this is an incomplete and misleading view. Agoraphobics are not necessarily afraid of open spaces. Rather, they are afraid of having panicky feelings, wherever. these fearful feelings may occur. For many, they happen at home, in houses of worship, or in crowded supermarkets, places that are certainly not "open".
In fact, agoraphobia is a condition which develops when a person begins to avoid spaces or situations associated with anxiety. Typical "phobic situations" might include driving, shopping, crowded places, traveling, standing in line, being alone, meetings and social gatherings.
Agoraphobia arises; from an internal anxiety condition that has become so intense that the suffering individual fears going anywhere or doing anything where these feelings of panic have repeatedly occurred before. Once the panic attacks have started, these episodes become the ongoing stress, even when other more obvious pressures have diminished. This sets up a "feedback condition" which generally leads to increased numbers of panic attacks and, for some people, an increase in the situations or events which can produce panicky feelings. Others experience fearful feelings continuously, more a feeling of overall. discomfort, rather than panic.
A person may fear having anxiety attacks, "losing control", or embarrassing him/herself in such situations. Many people remain in a painful state of anxious anticipation because of these fears. Some become restricted or "housebound" while others function "normally" but with great difficulty, often attempting to hide their discomfort.
Agoraphobia, then, is both a severe anxiety condition and a phobia, as well as a pattern of avoidant behavior.

I can see where you might think he's got Agoraphobia...the shortness of breath, blackouts, etc. BUT, he talks so much about how he doesn't want to go to school, only wants to watch movies, play games, he hates everyone...sounds like a typical slacker youth to me.
find something to live for, something you absolutely love doing... force yourself to go and do the things you don't want to do (i.e. school) and you will become a better person for it.
feeling sorry for yourself and becoming deppressed is natural, but you need to catch yourself and force yourself to work harder

Just a little aside here: anyone else ever notice that we have 100,000 members, and somehow it doesn't seem that a damn one of em is a doctor? Kinda strange, we seem to have every other profession here, and lots of people who think they're doctors () but that's about it.

Perhaps we're not looking in the right place for the root of the problem; when I was in high school, we only had six periods. Admittedly, for me high school ended seventeen years ago, but given that human nature does not change all that much over the course of a mere seventeen years, I can only come to two possible conclusions: Kids spend far more time per day in high school, or the given amount of time per class has dropped almost in half. If the former, then you're burned out because all you do is go to school; mathematically, there's not much time for other activity besides sleep. If the latter, then you're slowly becoming schizophrenic because you're constantly being exposed to different subjects, yet not having any time to slow down and focus on any of them.

Of all the people telling you to get medicine and go see a shrink, here comes the voice of reason: get over it. I am not trying to be an asshole, but we've all been there man, and whining about it is not going to help. In case you weren't informed, life sucks all the time, there is no higher ground, the next chunk of your life will be spent working long hard days, so just buck up and get used to it. Also, if you are in high school and you think it's driving you insane, don't bother with college.
That would be a nervous breakdown... now that I actually took the time to read your post. Go outside and enjoy the sunshine.
...and start drinking.
This stress you're feeling? It's just an appetizer compared to what awaits in the years ahead. Learn to deal with it and make the most of what advantages you have.
