I would recommend taking advanced (AP?) math and physics courses in high school. If you do well in those, you have a better chance at doing well in engineering.
If you find you absolutely can't stand those classes, I'd recommend finding a different major.
Any given school you go to for engineering will be different, but you're almost guaranteed to have at least 5 semesters of pure math courses (Calculus I-III, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations).
Most of the classes in Electrical Engineering I've taken have all been applied math (disguised with names like, Linear Circuit Analysis, Electric and Magnetic Fields, Signals and Systems, Probabilistic Methods in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Feedback System Analysis and Design). Fortunately it does have more application than pure math, along with real life examples.
