Do you like studying vocabulary? Is it important to study vocabulary?

I'm ok with studying vocabulary. Do I like it? Not really. It is very important to study vocabulary at a young age rather than an older age. When you are young, your mind absorbs things a lot better than it does as you grow older. You don't have a lot of knowledge, and more vocabulary is required to express how you feel. When your mind is developed it is easier to pick up vocabulary as you read books and find new words you haven't heard of. I feel like it is also more effective learning vocabulary that way. In my opinion, I can remember a vocabulary word better if I pick it up in a book and look it up on my own time, rather than learn a lesson in school on a bunch of words that I have to take a test on. Honestly, I forget all the vocabulary words right after I take the test anyway. So learning about them in school at my age is very ineffective for me, even thought it is an important topic to learn. Sure, I will do well on the test, but after I will never think about the words ever again.
