Oh hey! So good to see you. You know it's almost ten and we should be gone by now...hang on a minute. Something's different about you. You've been smiling more lately and now you're not. You've had exams and you hate them? That's because you're sane. They're awful, don't worry about it dear, they don't measure intelligence anyway, only compliance. Even IQ tests only measure a narrow part of human intelligence. What about emotional intelligence? Artistic intelligence? Creative intelligence? Are the only things that count the things that give you an advantage in our "Hunger Games" world? Get A grades and win a life of luxury but know it's at the expense of the hungry millions? No thanks. They can shove it. So don't let the bastards get you down, everyone's good, we're all on your side. All you need is a house, food and healthcare and we can take care of all that for less than the price of a warhead wing-nut. So relax my friend, you can make pots if you want or paint pictures, so much more useful than punching keys in an office, right? You might even start to enjoy your life... I know, I'm such a social heretic, but what can I say? I get my rules from a different source.

A/N I have my GCSE results and I'm feeling a bit stressed but this piece made me smile and it reminded me of my friends that helped me get over exam stress.
