I had a couple of teachers whom I couldn't stand whilst I was going through school too, but I suppose I was fortunate in that there was always some class clown or another who would tick them off for the class's viewing pleasure.

But in all seriousness, no matter how strenuous it can be in some classes, it's always the best way to keep your head down and do the best you can! You might then find that the teachers you dislike actually like you quite a lot, and make life easier for you!

I've just left my sixth form college (which followed on in the same institution as my high school) to go to university. I'm going to miss it like I don't know what. So many memories of growing up, meeting friends for life, and yes, being taught by the good teachers (that always outnumber the bad ) who have had a hand in shaping my future.

It seems my time there has whizzed by and I'd do anything to go back and relive it - so as others have said, get everything you can out of your school! Work hard, play hard, join clubs, do something you've never done before, grasp as many opportunities there as you can handle; in a few years when you leave, you will feel proud of yourself.

Best of luck with the studies, and I echo Karen, studies come first! I took a lot of long breaks from PT during my school and college days, and will do so for university too. We'll all still be here when you come back for a breather.
