Lol good point nevermind

School teaches you how to think for yourself, and by George you're doing it.


and look, quite honestly I think everyone should be hit over the head with this repeatedly. Yet it's one of those things that you don't really "get" until you arrive at it on your own (and some people don't, I think). So regardless, I'm going to say it because it needs to be said to you brats:

You are the only person that's responsible for the quality of your life, ultimately. If you don't enjoy school, it's because you haven't been able to figure out how to suck a meaningful experience out of it. If you don't have money, get a job. If you think you're fat or unattractive or whatever, work out.

Complaining gets you nowhere. Walking into the echo chamber of the internet and bitching about how unfair life is to you is the most unproductive and useless attempt at improving your life. Things get done by loving -doing- them, not talking about them or thinking them, but actually doing the work. You won't get rich putting in a couple hours a week at some skill. You won't get slim by going to the gym once. You have to have the determination and the nerve to carve out a lifestyle of self improvement for yourself- you need to get up every day and suck the marrow out of life, learn from every experience, think critically about what you do with every hour of your day, and loving improve your life.

School is great and amazing and I love it

but 900x + 45b is algebra

i can always count on wynd to have my back <33

I've learned so much from school, wether or not ill use it later in life who knows but I've learned tons through algebra, geometry, chemistry, biology, history, and even ethics. You can choose not to learn but then you just look like an idiot to everyone else. You learn a lot of fundamentals in maths which will help you later in life if you choose to pursue a career in math or science. What you get out of school is all up too you. I try to get the most out of school and I honestly get a lot when I look back. And all that stuff about English and turn to page blah blah is actually useful also

plus high school is where all the poons at <3
just make sure you lose that thought once you get older. unless you enjoy jail.

I'm here for you!

900x + 45b is pretty much basic algebra though.

High School English, that class where you review figurative language for 4 years straight.

So much this.

900x + 45b is pretty much basic algebra though.
It can't be solved if there's nothing on the right side of the equation.
It has to have a value there, i.e. 900x+45b=100 or whatever.

More like high school literature. More figurative launguage than you'll ever encounter later in your life.

Sirrus said it all
I don't know what to tell you other than that it will get worse and you will have to deal with it, so suck it up and get learning, because that's the way ahead

Also, the social aspect of school isn't great for everyone either, but you shouldn't give up on having any friendships out of snobbery

What grade are you in?

What I find difficult about school is that surviving both socially and academically can be tough. I mean a lot of the really smart guys I know have basically shut themselves from the world while the really social guys get bad grades but live in the moment. Doing both has been a challenge for me for the longest time. Especially Middle School because social survival kept you sane and not depressed (I was very depressed in 8th grade). I'm getting mainly B's, a C or two and one A. It's just a lot of outside factors beyond academics have really messed things up for me.
