High School is probably one of the dumbest things invented. Don't get me wrong I love learning. But I don't learn at school, you learn by going places, meeting new people, trying new things. All school does is drill things into your head over and over. It doesn't matter if you're smart only if you can remember things.
    School is also a place where the biggest social hierarchy stands. You have your populars, the pretty bitches who couldn't care less who they step on to reach the top, whom are accompanied by guys following them around who are older then them and are looking for an easy piece of ass. Throw in some of the male jocks the same age as the girls and you have the royal court. For some reason everybody treats them like their royal or some shit. The teachers love them and always give them good grades and special privileges, and the rest of their peers act like they're hot shit. But in preschool they were the kids who would eat paste with you and you'd give each other hair cuts under the table with safety scissors. What made them so special all of a sudden?
   Then you have your middle class, that's kind of where I fit in. The kids who were once in the popular crowd but faded out as the popular kids realized they might be better then they are. So they kicked them out before anybody else realized it. Nobody really hates the middle class but they're not exceptional either. They might play sports and be in a lot of clubs or be really funny or attractive but they're not populars which make us nobody really. We're the kids who could disappear and nobody would really say anything unless they needed us to do their homework or help them out.
  Then you have your popular-extra-curricular's, people know them, they're in a lot of clubs, they're the class officers, do a lot of sports, are in all the plays and musicals. Are in band and chorus. They hold the school together and are the entertainment for the rest of us. People know of them because of their extensive list of activities and are constantly busy. But they aren't pure populars because their busy schedules prohibit them from getting drunk every weekend and sleeping around with various people.
Last but not least are the invisibles, okay by now you've discovered my naming skills aren't very clever but whatever, they aren't really invisible, in fact you were probably friends with one or more in elementary school, but as middle school started and groups started to form they were the kids who decided they didn't give a flying f*ck if they fit in. I happen to admire these kids for sticking up against the status quo. They're the kids that everybody kinda of talks about, some are hated some are kind of just there.
   All in all, high school is a shit show, a bunch of horny teenagers packed in small rooms being told to memorize stuff for 8 hours a day. Then come home after extra-curriculars and have at least an hour of homework. No wonder most of our bodies are being piloted by a range of anti-depressants and anxiety medications. It's a pretty shitty thing to go through, what genius even though it was a good idea ??
  All I'm saying is if you're gonna force me to be here for 40+ hours a week at least give me some nap breaks and some decent ass food.
