It sounds like part of the problem is that your school is overcrowded and maybe the teachers have too many students, which is really not good for those students who are deemed capable of getting along on their own.
Thankfully, high school is temporary. I also really did not like it for a variety of reasons and combined my last two years into one to escape it early. Other people I know switched to the vocational program which was kind of like an alternative high school. I am not sure if either of those options are available to you or if there is some other school/school alternative in your area.
I can't even tell you how much better life got for me after high school, and then again when I moved into my own place. It's awful while you are there, but the end is in sight.

For starters, thank you for the kind words, they really mean a lot. So far I'm still making plans to start meeting with the school counselor, however I'm not typically fully comfortable around her so I'm unsure of that right now. You actually reminded me of one teacher I had a couple years ago, so I may speak to him to get some help/advise on the matter.
I believe you're correct, part of the issue would be the increase in students. Last year there was rarely a full class (not even 30 students), and now there's a drastic increase. Somehow we have over 600 enrolled, whereas last year we didn't even have half that amount. I'm actually currently enrolled in a school that would be considered alternative, an "Outreach" program. There's only two other high schools in my area (one being religious, and the other being a traditional school with over 800 students) sadly.
