Oh that's very interesting.

My line was that I was going to "run away with the circus".
After stressful days of exhausting group-work and intense over-scheduling.


I learned better at home too.
A workable compromise was reached: I'd learn stuff at home to prepare me for school, so I could achieve better grades at school exams.


I had to do this because circuses are getting a bad press these days and I have difficulty juggling more than 2 beanbags at once...

Education has to be grinned and bared for most people (at least until High-school's over anyway). After that and you're officially an adult, no-one really cares what you do.

If you're in the right environment, learning can be fantastically inspiring fun.

If you're not...it's a drag.

Here's a story for you.

One day, when I was in Grade 10, a boy who was one grade lower than me was talking to his girlfriend about what a ret*d he thought I was. I got so sick and tired of what the majority of the kids were like, what they wore, what they liked, and their opinions about the kids who needed the extra help, that I told him that I was going to drop out. He said, "Yeah, right...that will be the day." I've packed all of my books into my bag, and preceded to run into the lobby entrance way. Just as I opened one of the doors, my science teacher spotted me. He asked me what I was doing, and I told him that I was dropping out, and I was going to become a hippie. He told me to get back inside, and he followed me back to the resource room. He said to my LD teacher that he caught me attempting to drop out. I wish that I would have done it, anyways.


The trick is to look as though you are just going to a dentist appointment or whatever, and normally you don't get asked. Not that I've ever tried walking out of school...

My friends have, they got pulled into the police station. I'm glad I'd been off school that day, because I probably would have ended up joining them, and I am terrified of the police.

I get sick and tired of school, i don't even learn anything at school but i do learn alot at home (in my free time) why can't i just stay home then!?... I've already accepted the fact that there is no good future for me out there so why still bothering going to school then? I'm better of home, i don't even want a degree. Ill work in some crapy low-paid job i don't care, never did. The only reason i'm still going is because i HAVE to, my stefdad gets pissed even when i stay home a day so just staying home for a day never frigging works not even when i'm really ill... I also know that my house sucks i don't have an own room/privacy or, well anywhere decently to play on my computer. I would do anything for a little privacy, i feel mentally messed up when there are people around!


I see that you are 16 so that means that you must be in High School. Let me tell ya. High School SUCKS for everyone! The only High School experiance I never expreinced was the gyms locker rooms. LOL But anyways, yeah living with parents SUCKS worse too. I was an outcast all of my School life and I still am at College. My suggestion to you is to sit down with your parents and tell them that you want more responsibilities and you want to go and live on your own at a very reasonable age so they can put you on an appartment list early so hopefally within 2 or 3 years, you'll be living on your own and away from your parents. Sure it wouldn't make live look like heaven but at least the pressure will be right off your back. ;)

SHADAP!


Took that word right out of my mouth. Well not exactly, I had a few more to add.


At the risk of derailing this thread, the words I didn't say, here they are

I wish you had posted your comment as a separate post here in the Haven.
You didn't ask for any help or better put, a perspective shift, so not my place to say anything more.
I put myself between a rock and a hard spot to say what I did to you. It did not feel good to do.

So the conversation should still continue the way it is, learning a few things here myself.
