why?

[____jason____]

Why am I still at school? For the past few weeks I've come to the realization that I am either learning things I already know or things that won't matter in the real world at school. So, why do I still go every day? I hate it. So much stress, so much work, it's not even that its hard, there's just so much to do and the fact that it's all meaningless makes it worse. I hate how society has made school and good grades so important. It's like you might as well kill yourself if you don't go to a great college because you're a fucking waste of life. I don't even want to go to college sometimes. I really wish it weren't so looked down upon because it really doesn't make any sense. Neither does anything after freshman year. There's a reason it's legal to drop out of school at 16. And the most ironic thing is, I'm at a school where grades and good colleges are more important than life itself.

Kerry gave me an idea though. By next week I'll have two essays: one on why school is a waste because we're not learning practical things, and the other on the things we should be learning instead. I'm going to make copies and distribute them to the entire school. Viva la revolution.
