Is S6 worth it?

I am going into S6 this year with very little motivation left for school and my attendance in S5 taking a massive hit.
I'm taking 3 highers and 1 college course for teaching in S6, but I feel as though my final year is kind of pointless to me as the subjects I've picked dont really help me with what I want to do in the future. The only reason I'm still in school is purely to see friends and experience prom and such (my birthday is also late 2007, and i feel being 16 is uni is too young for me). I don't have a plan on what I'd do if i DIDNT do S6, so dropping it isn't really an option. I just wanted to know if it gets better from here/am i wasting my time staying on for my final year?

Thanks in advance!!

You may just be feeling burned out now that we're right near the end of the school year and exams are over. Hopefully you'll be feeling more optimistic and ready to go after the summer break.

What subjects have you chosen and what are your long-term goals?

1.if you want to go to English unis and do Advanced highers, you should do S6
2.if you want to stay in Scotland, sorry it's a waste of a year(in my opinion)
