is this a dream or a memory?
teach me something useful
I am tired of going to school, not because I am waiting for summer, or because I find school a dumb idea, I am tired of school because there is nothing to be learned. One of the only useful things I have learned this year is that in order to make the high-school experiance semi-pleasent one needs an insignificant other and the ablility to be a clone of some all mighty person who decides what is cool. Never once did I learn about clinical depression, suicide,eating disorders, the reprecussions of murder on human emotions, how to deal with death or how to become a fully functioning, happy person. Instead I learned the evils of sex, how any act of the "un-cool" will make you want to die, and that no one respects anyone (lets not forget polinomials with distributive law!) perhaps it is just me, but I think some change has to happen, somewhere, someone has to realize that there should be more to the school experiance thena bunch of stuck up rich kids in closed circles. The ideals we were taught in elementary school have been lost in the one place where they should be upheld, no one can be themselves for fear of high-school excommunication. No one can tell me that they can be exactly who they are at school because everyone has something that they are afraid to let anyone know about, it doesn't matter if it's the cheerleader who likes boys and girls or the goth who listens to Norah Jones. I don't see why people even bother anymore.

    I know exactly what you mean. I think when it comes down to it high school is just a big popularity contest, and only the fakest and preppiest people will win, but then again all of life is like that too isn't it? But you should always be yourself, if not just to piss the preps off, even though it is way easier said than done.

    <center> I know that you may not be having the time of your life, love. It sometimes seems like a mere jesture for all the adults that so willingly make us attend this so called "learning atmosphere" ... more like...waist of time. Don't give up though, I know you wont... I just want you to keep on going because once you are out of school you will be able to run your own life without people trying to tell you what is right or wrong. *leaves a flower next to your door* Take care and have a most wonderful night, sweetie. I wish you the best of luck in everything that you do.
