High School is useless, except it isn't. You don't learn anything, but they made it so that you have to go through all the bullshit just to get a job. That is what pisses me off. High School is completely a big waste of time but it's the time where they like to teach kids comformity, get your unbelieveable amounts of homework done and follow the rules, when all the while telling us it's education. Not really. The way things work now is, no matter wether or not you're qualify... no matter if you're a freaking genius... you still GOTTA pass school or else you're just some bum. It's fucked up.

Nevermind, UserName AlphaNiner - your talking about the American school system - I was talking about the British, both shit, but the American education system is far far worse.

Stealing Bill Hicks quotes eh? I'm not even gonna argue with you anymore your head is so far up your mom's cunt. I've got better things to do.

Peace

â??I think it's interesting, the two drugs that are legal - alcohol and cigarettes, two drugs that do absolutely nothing for you at all - are legal, and the drugs that might open your mind up to realize how you're being fucked every day of your life, those drugs are against the law. Coincidence? See, I am glad mushrooms are against the law, 'cause I took 'em one time, and you know what happened to me? I lay in a field of green grass for four hours, going, 'My God, I love everything'. Yeah, now if that is not a hazard to our country... How are we going to justify arms dealing if we know we are all one?â?� - Bill Hicks

It's not stealing... it's "Quoting". Isn't that wierd?

No, not really. I had a friend in school who really was a genius. Problem was school just didn't suit him too well. He was in and out of juvenile hall most of the time and finally dropped out of school for good in his junior year. But the guy really was fucking smart and taught himself a shitload about computers, networks, etc. He now makes over $120k a year as a networking expert. All without a high school diploma and while smoking weed pretty much all day long every day.

Some people are like that, they'll make it no matter what. But some people don't pass and get called a bum because they are fucking bums. I did shitty in high school and barely graduated. I was a bum. After graduating I fucked around for a few years before getting my shit together and deciding to go to college. I worked my ass off in college and finally graduated when I was 28. Now I have a pretty good job and make a decent salary. Not as much as my friend but we're not all geniuses. Anyhow, it did take a lot of work and and I deserve what I got. So fuck any lazy ass kid in high school who's bitching about the hard work he has to deal with.

The reason people who go to high school,then go on to college, and then go on to good jobs that make more money than those who don't, is because they are more qualified. They deserve the job more. Plain and simple. If I'm going to hire someone I want the person who's most qualified and 9 times out of 10 the guy with the degree is going to be more qualified that the high school drop out.

Life is about work. If you don't want to do the work don't expect to get the rewards. You think you've got it hard now, with "unbelieveable amounts of homework done and follow the rules"? High school is EASY. Try college if you want to see unbelievable amounts of homework. And follow the rules? It aint any different once you're out and working. Unless you own your own business and make the rules you still have to conform and follow the rules of the people you work for. Just because high school is over doesn't mean life suddenly becomes so easy. It never ends. 15 years from now you'll look back and wish you could go back to the good old days when everything was much less stressful. Trust me on this.

Oh, I believe you. Trust me. You're already saying what I already know... I'm saying, it shouldn't have to be that way, though. Well, IN MY OPINION.

And good for your friend. Too bad not everyone can do what he did, though. There are plenty of people I know who are smart as hell, but they don't give a shit about school. So what is gonna happen to them?

im just so faded right now i dont know what to say

With any luck they'll wind up like me. Well, maybe not like me, I'm nothing special, but they can do what I did. Like I said, I did shitty in high school. I didn't give a shit. I was stoned almost every day. I did acid and shroomed in school too. I barely graduated. After a few years of shitty jobs and screwing around though I went back to a junior college and then on to a regular university where I finally got my bachelor's degree. It took a while because I was working full time while going to school but the point is that it can be done. And, I actually value those few years after high school when I screwed around. I did a lot of travelling, rockclimbing, backpacking, etc. I followed the Grateful Dead around for a while and had a generally good time. It really opened my mind but I just started to realize that there was something more and needed a change.

Oh, sorry to everyone if I sounded like an ass in my last post. That wasn't my intention. I've just come to that point in my life where I finally realize that it doesn't get any better. When I was in high school I always thought "life will be great when I get out" but it wasn't. When I was in college I always thought "life will be great when I graduate and get a good job" but it wasn't. When my wife and I were saving to buy our home I thought "life will be great when we have our own house" but it...well you get the picture. Things change and old stresses go away, but new ones come up just as quickly. Nothing comes for free.

So, my advice is live each day to it's fullest. Enjoy what you have and what you are doing today. Whatever period in your life you may be in, because if you don't enjoy today while its here you'll never get another chance.

I tell people the same thing. It's the only way to live... but you can't enjoy the time you have now while worrying about school and all that shit. But ya gotta go through it. Life never gets easy, it's true. You're right. That sucks. Oh well. [/streamofconsciousness]

That is something that I've grown to think about everyday. Life is truly a rollercoaster of emotions. Things can be great for awhile, but there will be something missing, or something wrong sooner or later. It's a fact of life some people have trouble accepting.
