I'll let others have their say, but in my opinion it's just they way you're being taught it.
History is the sum total of everything that happened to everyone, everywhere - you can't find anything interesting in that, there's something wrong with you.
My advice would be - whatever subject you;re doing in school - to 'read round' it in books and on the web looking for the 'interesting bits'.

That's great!!!
Hope you enjoy it and find you are a successful historian.
After GCSE, there's A-Level, and then on to uni or college - too soon to be making those kind of decisions ... they're just options in the future.
For the moment, concentrate on getting over the first hurdle!

In what ways is WW1 boring?
Read around it: AJP Taylors account is very lively even if I dont agree with all of it. Are you able to get more emotionally involved at all? I remember visiting the graves, and the battlefields and it was just mindblowing...Even just looking at the war paintings at the imperial war museum is fascinating.
