If I hate high school math, am I going to hate calculus even more?

if you define high school math as trigonometry, don't worry calculus 1 has no trig in it. calc 2 will fuck you in the ass with trig though.
if you define high school math as algebra 2(aka college algebra) yes you'll hate it

Calculus IS high school math.

I'm thinking of changing my major but the one I'm interested in requires calc 1-3

I haven't even done 1
Have you taken them? Can I get a breakdown /summary rather swiftly?

I've only taken calc 1 and am currently taking calc 2, and that's as far as I need to go.
I can tell you calc 1 is a cake walk if you put the hours in studying it. it starts off really easy and gets moderately difficult, but it's not bad.
from what I've taken in calc 2 it's just monotonous shit, nothing too hard but it takes a really long time to find the correct answer. you're doing alot of algebra and it's easy to screw up.
calc 3 from my understanding is even more repetitive, but idk.

Currently studying economics and always disliked math but i do like economics, when i had my first calculus class it was a fucking nightmare but mainly because before college i always had terrible math teachers and math is cumulative, if you don't have the basics down, it'll be really hard but not impossible, you just have to grab some books and start studying right now.
For me it's been really hard, but i think I'll manage it.

I haven't done any calc. I have done algebra 2,college algebra, and stats and have done just fine in those

Hopefully I'll be able to do it

Like I said, sure you stay on top of things. You can't skip shit in Calc 1, nothing at all. If you don't learn a concept you are fucked later down the line. Just make sure you study hard and you'll be ok.

if your school has a math tutoring center go there every week and practice the tests at the end of each chapter.
