I was also a buddhist, also for wrong reasons, in junior high (it really changed my attitude, though, so it was good in the end)
But the reason I'm not a Buddhist anymore is that the most basic premise is that desire is sickness. A fulfilling life is one that is devoid of desire; not one that strives to fulfill them. I completely disagree with that.
