Where you be judged on you appearance
Where you won't be able to talk to any of your friends
Where the drama will fill your head with anxiety
Where you should be worrying about schoolwork, but aren't
Where you probably won't love the people around you
Where your heart will me broken multiple times
Where you will fail that big test you studied all night
Where you spend most of your days wishing you were elsewhere
Where you will make friends and enemies
Where you will get in fights and learn painful lessons
Where eight valuable hours of your day is wasted
Where you will see a lot of people you really don't want to see
Have a nice 12 years
Now I know what you're probably thinking, "another girl complaining about how school is hard boo hoo", but hear me out. I love learning. I like learning new things. English is by far my favorite subject because it helps me improve my variety of vocabulary and writing in general. I could go on and on with this rant because there's a million things to say, but I'm going to try my best to summarize this.
Things school has taught me:
~Grades are more important than my morals, emotional and physical health
~How to hate people in general
~To want to quit life weekly
~How to eat/text in class without getting caught
~Why I will never amount to nothing
School has asked so much from me, and now I feel like I'm just some monotonic robot.
For instance,
School: please get a full night of sleep
School: but don't forget to do the 54 hours of homework
School: and study for tests
School: be a well rounded student by joining clubs
School: and participate in sports so you don't come home till 6pm
School: don't be late for school
School: but make sure you eat a full meal in the morning
School: kids need a balanced diet
School: here eat cardboard with red paint, it's called "pizza"
It's like you have to have the nicest jeans, or the cutest purse, or say the newest thing so that it catches on. You have to be skinny/muscular, you have to buy this, wear this, say that, be on his side, be on her side, be neutral, have white teeth, have straight teeth, you're hair can't be frizzy, and you can't wear that because it just doesn't 'work' anymore. You have to go to parties, be friends with everyone, trust no one, pose like this, smile like that, tilt your head this way, and put your hand on your hip, because that's how it is. And let me just say, fuck all of that.
But the thing is, eventually you forget it all. First you forget everything you learned-the dates of war and Pythagorean theorem. You especially forget everything you didn't really learn, but just memorized the night before. You forget the names of all but one or two of your favorite teachers, and eventually you forget those, too. You forget your junior year class schedule and where you used to sit and your best friend's home phone number and lyrics to that song you must have played a million times, and eventually, but slowly, you forget your humiliations-even the ones that seemed indelible, just fade away. You forget who was cool and who was not, who was pretty, smart, athletic, and not. Who went to a good college. Who threw the best parties. Who had the most friends. You forget all of them-even the ones you said you loved, and the ones you actually did. They're the last to go, and then once you've forgotten enough, you love someone else.
You'll eventually forget all...
