It's true that you have to know about Netwons laws before you can understand relativity but you don't necessarily have to know electrostatics.
Richard Feynmann, as well as being one of the twentieth centuaries great physicists also got involved with science education amoungst other things he wrote a series of brilliant lectures for first year science undergratuates that coverred basic areas and moved quickly onto the good stuff. His lectures became so famously good that his appearences had to be kept secret so that first years could get in.
Unfortunately not every teacher is this gifted and you really have to love a subject to have that interest survive a poor teacher.
You probably don't like it because it's not on your wavelength (scirntific pun not intended)
I'm generalising wildly here and don't mean to upset or offend you, but I bet if David Beckham came to your school to give a talk on how he curves his free kicks, or Justin Timberlake came to explain the finer points of stage lighting and sound system dynamics, you would be slightly more interested.
Apologies if I sound patronising, but the point I am making is that if the stuff you are learning interests you on a personal level, you are much more likely to enjoy learning it.
more than likely u find it boring because u do not see any practical application for it. this is why i can't stand learning poetry because it is not useful to me to know by heart but many other things r. if u try and find a pratical aspect to what u r studying then u will find it more interesting. maybe if u probe your teacher with a question or two he/she will be very happy that someone is interrsted and try and make the practical side plainer and help u to understand it.
put it this way. if a catastrophy happened tomorow and everything was destroyed would u be able to survive or would u die because u don't understand the world around u and r unable to work out how to survive just to eat and shelter urself ? if ur answer is i would die then u better get going i know this is an extreme example but i see u as a slow thinker (with no offence) it take no effort to think and observe what is around u.
try this: find something u want to know say what is lightning and then go and ask ur teacher. he/she will be pleased to help and if u approach sience from the ground up u will find it more interesting than studying theory and then woundering what it's for !
