Surviving Highschool

The hardest thing about being a dude is the pressure you are under. There is pressure from all places and people. Parents and teachers are probably the most sinister in this case.

I don't know if it is a thing with every school but my teachers are convinced that their single class is my whole life. News flash I have tons of other things to do besides the fact! I don't sit at home wondering what assignment you are making or what you are doing. I'm not sorry, and I don't like you that much so chill.

Id say parents are the next source of stress. My parents are pretty good about it but I know others aren't. In the minds of most moms and dads, their child is a machine who can work unceasingly. A "B" is a failure and means that the child needs social correctment classes. Anything less than a 4.0 is their idea of an idiot. It's one of my pet peeves to see a parent do this to their kid. Getting a b means that you are a good student who is doing well.

Lastly in the order, but definitely not least are the "popular" kids who sell themselves out for recognition. They are the worst part of being a teenager these days. If you ask me, doing anything to get attention is crap. Its like selling your soul to the devil. The cool crowd consists of a handful of kids, who i believe have done this. They treat the other 95% of the population like slaves. Their tirade of cruelty extends to the beginning of time. (compare them to the egyptians in the bible) When they victimize you, it feels like you might shrivel into dust. They are the epitome of terror for some kids. This is the pressure I'm trying to explain. The stress of not belonging in school is the single most frightening worry.

Sure grown ups have to pay bills, but the weight of having to make choices that'll effect your futures bears a heavier burden. The scars you get in high school will never leave and don't you doubt it.
