Schools: “it’s not that hard” Also schools: *hires teachers who don’t explain the work, don’t care about the students input and put an unbearable amount of stress on kids* Me: you’re... you’re kidding... right?!
U know wats really the most stressing is when ur sick and absent well for me bcuz like I get the homework and literally no one explains even when I don’t know and when I get back to school teacher be like why is this that blank and I can’t reply cuz they won’t let me in the end I get punished and caned cuz I didn’t do homework
i went to a pretty fancy private school until sixth grade, and there were no grades. they'd test us and they'd give us reports midyear and end of year, but it would be so hard to get a bad report. you'd have to be /trying/ to get a bad report to get anything even remotely wrong other than "unorganized". anyway, in seventh i moved to a regular public school and the amount of pure SHOCK it was crazy. i had heard this song before but i hadn't really loved it or related to it so it wasn't on any of my playlists. I remembered it and i did a whole google search research and it took me half an hour to find this song again. now it's my favorite song because it's too relatable.
what i hate about schools is that they expect us to be perfect. if we get bad grades they suspend us, if we don't behave well they suspend us, if we don't give 3 sheets of math homework in one week paired with many more pieces of other subjects in time, they put our grades down. you are pressured to be the best, and if you aren't you are classified as a "lazy dumb person". we have our lives and want to have fun. don't let schoolwork crush your dreams.
idk what I wanna be in the future but because of all of the problems the students in this comment section have, I might wanna become a teacher so that I can actually help the struggling students over here
Well I want to be a manga artist but I don't have time to draw cuz school and lessons get in my way... I got a 19 in german and my mom got angry and said i didn't even studied I want to learn japanese too but I can't cuz of school stuff... Why?
Welcome to my school, where you get bullied for... some reason, I couldn't tell you because whatever it was I was never told, and the school counselor is some delusional lady who thinks all students love the school and that the girl (me) who's making suicide jokes at age ten and saying she doesn't want to go to school has all her problems with her home life, not school! Thanks for the rift between me and my emotions, thanks for making me not understand other people's emotions, thanks for making me react with the wrong emotions, thanks for making me unable to cry, thank you for making me feel like all my sadness is being poured into an unmovable ever-expanding cup, school!
School isn’t about education anymore, it’s just about passing EDIT: the person who said my misspelling was a grammar mistake is wrong XD it’s a spelling mistake :0
This is a phrase that I knew for a while. Now, I’m learning to let go and focus on learning new things and understand what I’ll remember and need. I’m getting bad grades, but I’m actually learning.
Yea. Even as an adult now, looking back at this is painful. I certainly don't want the younger generation feel the same way as I did. I always reflect on this if one of my younger friends had trouble fighting their own demons.
trust me a big amount of the time its not the teachers fault its the district/states fault. teachers have to have a minimum number of grades for a class and they have to show that kids are getting good grades in that class so it forces them to do stuff that they don't want to do. a majority of the complaints you have about teachers often is more the fault of the district/state/other higher power than of the teacher
They had no control over their lives then, and they're taking it out on us so they can have a sense of control they still don't have. vicious cycle, man
@@ForestGreenSharpie honestly though my school district was literally doing everything in our power to literally get rid of public schools and replace them with private schools by giving us badly worded and confusing questions that the text sometimes didn't even provide.

@@kmia7737 we’re not annoyed that it’s not perfect, we’re annoyed that they’re not doing the bare minimum to make it good. It’s nowhere near perfect and not even good, and thats the problem

@@SkyeRosendahl-MayneHey, I know you don’t know me, but; I just want to say that, it DOES get better. Even if it seems like you have no future.. there is hope. Who knows how much your life can change in just a year.. Let alone two, or three. Please, please don’t give up 🩷 even if your dreams seem so far, or not worth even dreaming for, someday, they may actually become reality, and someday, you might be able to look back at this moment, and realize that YOU MADE IT. We live life in moments.. Which means that, every moment will pass. Even what you’re experiencing right now.. As a human- never-mind that i’m a stranger, I believe in you. Keep going. Keep hoping. Keep dreaming. Keep fighting. Cherish all of the good moments; even if they’re small, because they matter, and at the end of the day, that’s all we’ve got.. Good moments, and good people; maybe not right now, but they’re out there, and if you’re not there, how will you ever even *hope* to find them? Good luck, man. You’ve got this.
My favorite line in this song is "Can you even say the formula of area now?!" This is because it really shows that if we could just tell our parents and teachers how bad it truly is for us, they wouldn't be able to handle all the pressure we're given either. If they were in our spots, they'd struggle just as much.
@@caitlynmiller6662both. They forgot but they also had it better, for example, in my country the final exam for high schools features 2/3 written exams and a final spoken exam, talking about the spoken exam, as of right now we can't prepare a presentation with a topic to talk about (which connects to other subjects), but we'll have to connect a random topic we'll get on the same day. My parents could choose which subject to bring for the spoken exam, but still, no presentation about a topic, but they had to talk about 2/3 subjects maximum, but they had all the school year to prepare And they most likely forgot everything, for example whenever I ask for help in math they don't remember or also, I haven't done any biology related classes on 2/3 years.. And I somewhat forgot a big chunk of stuff, except the things I actually cared about. So yeah they forgot everything, but they also had it better, with different schedules and different types of exams etc.. Things got worse in the school system tbh, especially exams
I DESPISE the education system, for so many reasons. When I was in third grade, I was screaming and crying to my parents about how bad I wanting to drop out, IN THIRD GRADE, because of all the pressure the teachers put on me. But, no, they really said, "your education matters more than your emotions." Sure, I was extremely gifted in reading, language, that stuff, but everything else was hell for me. Instead of the teachers helping me with my horrible grades, they humiliated me in front of my whole class, including my "friends." It didn't help that they watched the people who were supposed to be my friends laugh at me, slam my head into the ground, give me bloody noses, break my arm, fracture my ankle, and just hurt me in every way possible. I was also horrible in P.E, and the teacher said she was just "trying to motivate me," when she told me repeatedly how useless and weak I was. By the time I was in fifth grade, my parents had to stop me from purposely overdosing on my medicine, and then proceeded to lecture me about how bad of a crybaby I was, and that I would never be successful. The next day, I failed my math test, and that just made everything even worse. It was appearently "my fault, because I stayed up all night playing video games," when, in reality, I was up all night studying until I could barely see. But, no, of course, I wasn't doing anything except for being useless. We REALLY need to make better changes to the school system.
In forth grade I was so lonely to the point where the school would make people spend time with me. In prep i transfered schools cuase I hated my first school and cried every morning. In 1st grade my dad died infont of me. Sorry I'm being annoying ;_;
Teachers: *push students to extreme stress, punishes them when they mess up, and do next to nothing about bullying* Student: *kills self* Teachers: SURPRISED PIKACHU
There were 3 students who committed suicide in my school.. One was in my principal's arms.. the kid bled to death from glass shards.. they were playing around in the halls with somone else and they got caught in the door.. I don't know the details about the other ones but those were from a little while ago.. Edit: wait that isn't suicide that was mischief that killed him.
To the words “it’s not like I care now!” Those words mean a lot to me because after going through so much because of school and parents, it broke me and I couldn’t care about anything anymore, or I couldn’t remember how to care for anything
@@HankSensei yeah, I hope they're feeling better nowadays. Sadly, this school mental health crisis or whatever it is seems like it isn't getting any better. I'm struggling myself atm and know many others who are.
@@Infact77 I’m guessing you might be around teenager age so it might be a struggle . Just focus on your own health and always take times to rest when needed
*listening to this whilst procrastinating my science assignment due tomorrow that i haven't even started :')* UPDATE: it's been over a year now. I forgot exactly what the assignment was about, now i am procrastinating yet another science assignment due tomorrow that I have not started.
I wish schools would stop calling certain kids "gifted" or "special" just because they're able to comprehend basic subjects a little more quickly and easily than the rest of their peers. Because all that did was make me afraid of failure ever since the first grade, when I got an S on my weekly report for "Satisfactory" instead of the E for "Excellent" like I'd usually always gotten. I was so in denial about it, that I took some Wite-Out, went over the S, and changed it to an E before crying to my parents because I felt bad about lying. Not to mention the fact that they never consistently challenged us with harder work. In 4th grade, while everyone else was practicing their math, my teacher had me and the other "smart" kids go in the hallway to build toothpick bridges. Why? Other than to give us something to do, I'm still not sure.
I'm also a "gifted" kid and you know what happened with me? I've developed such a severe defeatist attitude and procrastination issues to the point where if I cant immediately figure out how to do something or do it all in one go I just fucking give up and tell myself that I'll "do it later" the only reason I did even okay in 8th grade was because all the assignments were short and simple and now everything is piling up and I haven't done jack shit because "why even try?" and it's literally ruining my entire life and I wish I could change but it all circles back to "why even try" and I hate it
And when your in gifted they make you do so much extra work like just because we 2 more iq we can cure cancer and Alzheimer when I was in third grade my gifted teacher made us do projects on egypt and one time I subbmited one 2 hours late cuz it was a 10,000 word essay and she sent me a doc that said" Weres your maturity? 0%"
No he is good in math and science but terrible I English the song is criticizing the Japanese school system because I Japan you have to do good work or your nothing but this kid actually can't do it so he breaks
I only gave to my P1-P4 Teachers, P5 I didn’t give anything, not planning to give any this year, too... but since it’s my last year of primary, I guess I’ll give to SOME?? Also I agree with you lmao, why is there no next paragraph button, my Teachers are strict as h
“Counting days like numbers they all pass their prime / and again hypnotically swimming through time” Putting the depressing stuff away for a moment this line is just absolutely genius with how it flows and the pun with prime numbers my god I love this
This is a very deep song.. It's an over looked topic of how school is putting so much pressure on a student.. In which it will drive them to the point of breaking because they feel that they can't accomplish anything since they can't accomplish their homework.
I understand.. I have started recently looking deep into the meaning of songs because that's what my chorus teacher wants from us is to know the meaning behind songs
+sasha higgs I feel that this song's meaning is amplified when you look at it that way; In Japan, students are worked extremely hard. If you've ever seen an anime girl freaking out because she didn't study, that is absolutely accurate because they're probably going to fail.
Don't worry guys cuz we'll always know... THE MITOCHONDRIA IS THE *POWERHOUSE* OF THE *CELL* edit: guys it's been 5 years and i have a confession to make. i hadn't listened to dave's song when i wrote this. i was referencing a tumblr post i saw reposted on pinterest when i was 12 LMAO; i hope all of you having a rough time in school have a better time soon though!! it does, genuinely, get better (at least for a lot of people; obviously that's not the case for every single person but it is for me + most of my friends). you got this 👍
It's not just school life that is like that. Parents can also set expectations for their kids that they can't achieve, like wanting them to be good at stuff the kid doesn't like or want to do, and even comparing them to siblings when the kid has chosen a different path from them. If it wasn't that I found someone who loves and understands me for who I am, I'm not sure where I would be right now.
I'm not sure if it's just me looking to deep into things, but I notice that in each of the "can you..." lyrics, the first set is asking about your ability to participate in class (read the blackboard, solve the question, say the area of formula), then the second set is actually asking from the student's/listener's POV (read his mind, see his lost fantasy, stop the rope from hanging him from his neck, scream the dreams you swore would never go out). It feels like even the order of the lyrics is reinforcing the idea that schools see success as more important than the students' wellbeing. Again, maybe I'm looking to far into things.
Kids who sleep in class aren’t always doing it cause they are bored sometimes something is happening at home that is preventing them from getting enough sleep at home. I was so tired at school that my teacher just let me sleep through class because I didn’t get enough sleep at home and I promised him I would do my work the following day and I did. My teacher was fine with me sleeping in class as long as I was doing my work later
That’s actually true. It pains me to see my friends and classmates to come in and put their head down and fall asleep. I remember this kid a few years ago asked me if he could have my chips because he was really hungry. I still think about it.
I literally bring a blanket to school to sleep whenever I can in classes, because of the amount of homework we get I also have to skip lunch sometimes because the amount is just overwhelming and plus there's state exams too (Btw, why the hell do state exams matter so much Like even if we pass the state exam if you fail the class you still won't move forward, they can honestly kiss my *ss) The government needs to realize that things like this is what's causing so many kids to drop out of school or commit non-existence (didn't want to say the word) Overworking us will not get you better scores...
Yep, I fall asleep in class a lot, because, I dunno bout others, I'm a very light sleeper, and I can't sleep with my parents screaming at each other and breaking glass at 3am.
What's worse is that the teachers will to our parents about our behavior if talk back at the teachers not to mention that our parents will always believe the teachers words but not ours its not fair!!!
the fact that this was 7 years ago and there are still active ppl talking about the bad school system problem shows how much things never change even after 7 years the problem doesnt seem to be resolved
@@skyeplaysgames4598 To be fair, it has only been arround for 100 years, schools in 1500 looked very different. And some things got better, like teachers not being allowed to hit students anymore if they underperform, other things got worse like standardised tests, outdated teaching methodes, bad technology only being there for the sake of claiming that they are modern and so on.
*Mark Twain once said:* _“Don't let your boy's schooling interfere with his education.”_ That's just another way of saying that you can't make a good man out of a boy simply by cramming his head full of Latin and Algebra.

I turn 30 in a few months but "what the hell is growing up and tell me when will I be?!" still makes me tear up, no matter how often I listen to this song. The lyrics are so powerful, I absolutely love this cover and get goosebumps whenever I hear it. To all the younger people in the comments: Life can be shitty. School can be VERY shitty - but please believe me when I say that things will get better. Please never give up
@@fofo-ms6ck it was made for factory workers and for some reason never changed a couple of subjects were taken out and added but it was still then same thing to make factory workers you can’t focus on what you want to if you want be learn about math or something like that you have to good at other things complete unrelated
Heres a list of what school has actually made me do/ want to do... 1. Want to kill myself 2. Want to kill someone 3. Cry to myself 4. Cut myself 5. Made me self conscious 6. Made me hate being born a girl even more than I do (because of the girls vs. Boys shit) 7. Made me feel pleasure in pain 8. Hate everything 9. Have trust issues 10. Want to sneak a razor blade into School and cut myself in the bathroom and I've told my "friend" I'm suicidal and they just left me on read. NOBODY DOES ANYTHING. And this all started when I was 9-10 years old.

+Candycane Stripes It's also clever because in the begining of the song he states he's good at math but stress got to him and he even got bad at maths.
"Can you even scream the dreams you swore would NEVER go out?! Who was the one who let my hopes just curl up and die?" I haven't heard this song in years, and those lines still haunt me with how hard they hit. I'm pretty sure I actually can't remember the dreams I had as a kid
_It kind of hurts that I can honestly stick to the line "It's not like I care now" because when I was little, I REALLY cared. I wanted so desperately to go to my first day of school when I was 5. It was the happiest day of my life. I was gonna be a doctor and take care of my family and everything!_ _Then middle school came..._ _I just... slowly lost interest. And it wasn't out of laziness! I just felt like I wasn't doing enough (even though I definitely was). By eighth grade, I was probably only passing english because my teacher pitied the girl who went from bringing a mug to class for laughs to a hard worker to a workaholic to just crying at her desk every day._ _Then by high school, I couldn't really bring myself to strive for an A+. But being the fucking slut I am for misery, I took eight classes and a couple clubs. I started getting a kick out of making some of my teachers miserable if they made me miserable. I only did work that entertained me or felt necessary. I just wanted to go to my clubs and elective classes and go the hell home already._ _There was a time when a C would make me burst into tears. Nowadays, a C feels like a victory. And I KNOW it shouldn't be like that._ _And I look at these comments and I just wonder _*_"What in the fuck happened to all of us?"_*
I relate to everything you said. I once wanted to go to school so bad, I thought I would make a lot of friends. I thought I would become an architect. I got straight As in elementary, and in middle school. And now, I'm in High school. And I just... Lost all interest. I don't want to become an architect anymore. I lost contact with my friends from elementary and middle school. I just feel... Numb. Before, barely passing an exam in High School felt like a victory. Now, even if I get a D-. I don't give a damn anymore.
Same dude. I grew up with the equation “good at math”=“high grades”=“harvard uni”=“success” and so I held onto that until high school. I stopped caring too, i was more into arts and being creative. But as I tried cramming as much info in my head, my brain felt numb and I started feeling numb. I still cry with a C or even a B, but life isn’t that linear, its unrealistic. So we’re going to be okay
Too much happened. The cruelty of others against others who are different. When i was young i wanted to make things that would change the world. Inventions that would help people. Bring the world into our own hands and live in a harmonious age when we never had to fear what someone thought as we were all equal. I got good grades when I was young. Now i'm satisfied with a bare pass. Unfortunately that is the process that people call "Growing up" in our society. We're kicked down and kept down, no matter what we do. So it became easier to just give up. However, my spark has been reignited by the good people I have around me. Now I may not have the technological and engineering know-how to make the things I dreamed of as a kid. That won't stop me from making virtual worlds where people can truly be free to live as they see fit. I've found my spark and reignited the fires in my heart to change the world. I hope that you guys can reignite your spark. I'll work hard to help however I can, even if we never meet or speak directly. You can bet that one day, if our paths ever cross again, I'll help. Do those reading this, never lose your spark for good. If you feel like you have, I hope even this random comment in the comment section of a music video will help you get it back.
To me this song represents how as you get older and more condemned by society's idea of "individualism." Notice how the paper is blank and white. White symbolizes innocence and the paper means a "blank" expression. Because in schools we're told from the moment we're young to be "whatever we wanna be" and then as we get older we're told "you need to do this to be successful" which completely drains the human mind into asking "what is growing up and when will I be?" Meaning when are we gonna just be adults and skip this strict system of depression and loneliness? When can I be myself? When will I be free? Blank expressions is the concept of losing ourselves and the breaking down scene in this song is how we feel on the inside but in this education system, you do what you're told. You are told how to live. You lose your own personality and lose the joy of living. I've seen school do this to people. It's done that to me. It's depressing.
that didn't happen to me when the teacher said this is what your gonna have to do to be succesful I said that's not what I learned in kindergarten and I was happy then so I will stay that way 😊
i hate this. i hate being known as the "smart kid". i hate all the pressure i'm being put under. i hate how when i do one little thing wrong everyone looks down at me and thinks i'm not worth anything. i just hate it. today i almost thought of oding but i knocked some sense into myself before doing so... i've been doing so badly at school lately. my parents don't even talk to me with love anymore. i feel so alone... even with the few friends i have. i just hate everything. i'm trying to put some more effort in my work. i want to be worthy. i can't stand being treated like this anymore. if i try hard enough maybe this feeling will go away. maybe...
I’m really sorry for you. I hope everything is doing all right. Don’t try harder and overwork yourself in the process! Do your best and try not to work yourself to the brim of you almost dying in the process. All right I hope you have a nice day!
School isnt about learning anymore, man. It's just about passing. We arent learning. We are memorizing. The kid who has the best memory is "smart" and kids who are forgetful are "failures". We are "failures" for not being able to focus. Your "smart" old classmate from 6th grade isn't smart he just has a good memory. He isn't gifted or is a masterpiece of nature.
As a kid who has bad grades from spacing out on accident and having a terrible memory, this shit hits hard. I'm a 10th grader and I'm illiterate almost, I can't do math, every class I take, I almost fail, but this year, I'm planning on fixing it all the best I can and not allowing my issues to get over me even though they might. I might have some learning issues tbh and I don't care, I just want to feel good about myself for once and not fail a damn class. Edit 16/07/22: One year, damn.

Ok. Listen to class, in my opinion. I had these problems, but luckily, my teachers told my parents about this and we decided I need to listen to class. I wasn't very sure of myself at first, and now I'm still kinda not, but it's going good.

I've passed most of my classes with flying colors so people expect me to be perfect at everything I do and when I get anything below a B I get scolded for wasting my potential
@@xcherryxxchanx3425 Same, i’m a “gifted child” and it’s lead me to have a horrible fear of failure, and anything under a 90 is a fail to me and it’s also lead me to participate less in class because i’m scared that i’m wrong
Once a teacher told the class to humiliate me for forgetting something, let my classmates prod me with the scissors at our tables, then after begging them to stop multiple times, when I said “if I had something sharp I bet you wouldn’t be doing that”, the teacher immediately sent me to the deans with a fake sincere apology saying I was a threat to the school. I am autistic and was a good kid so I was melting down having no idea what would happen. The police checked my bag and found nothing, of course. I begged the dean to forgive me and told him I couldn’t escape the situation as I was in a crowded portable (if you don’t know what that is, they’re like cheap trailer classrooms) with no way to get to a door. The teacher kept her job by the way. All she did was give me a half hearted apology. My mom apparently ripped her a new one while I wasn’t in the room, but when she talked to me she never said anything supportive. My mom told me about how I could get arrested if I accidentally said stuff like that, and tried to blame a naruto poster in my room for having a sharp object on it like it gave me the idea. I got detention for the first and only time in my school career, and when the detention proctor heard what happened, he told me it wasn’t my fault, and that teacher should’ve done something. I started crying because never had anyone told me explicitly something wasn’t my fault before. He let me just chill for my detention. There are good people in the system, but overall they’re few and far between. The school system... it’s shitty towards everyone, especially kids with disabilities.
I understand that. I relate to it so much as well. I have two disorders, (ADHD & ADD) my mother doesn't give a shít about me, my friends are depressed and I'm literally a therapist for them and I can't vent myself. I'm bullied by my childhood friend and my other kīlled herself. I feel like no matter what everything will always be my fault. My best friend's parents' are getting divorced so her and her sister are having a bad time. I live with my mom and my father is mentally 'abusive'. I'm sorry for rambling, but if you need a friend I'll be here for you.
@@alofii6106 yeah. I swear the world is f^cked up. People like this person don’t deserve things like this to happen to them but what can kids do anymore. (This goes for everyone who’s been sharing their school lives, including home as well.)
Have you ever cried on a blank paper? The feeling that the pen in your hand weighs heavier than before? You took deep breaths trying to drown useless thoughts. That a cold chill just ran through your skin at the thought that you would fail? That even how hard you try you just can't find the answer. Yet you grit your teeth and press on. Finishing your work is the most important thing. You can't fail this subject at any cost. Even if that stabbing pain in your chest as you continue sitting there for hours unmoving or that pain in your head caused by those little voices that urges you to stop. Counting how many hours or days you have left making you vomit due to stress and keeps you awake for hours at night. School made me hate myself. Expectations made me wish I could just hide under the Earth never to be seen again. Education..... Education doesn't exist. It's just competition. We go to school to compete to kids our age. Compete for a mere recognition. In the end, what good are we than robots programmed to do certain actions dictated to us? Yet we still press on.
"Can you even scream the dreams you swore would never go out? Who was the one who let my hopes just curl up and die?" Those lines hit me the hardest. Growing up, I wasn't sure what I wanted to be. I finally decided to become an engineer in late elementary/early middle school (4th-6th grade). That's when I discovered my secret talent and love for art. I drew a lot and decided I would become an artist since I loved it so much. However, everyone around me kept telling me to have a backup plan because not everyone can become an artist/animator. Well, I was a straight A student all throughout elementary school. Well, middle school came, and I started to get more B's and got my first C at the end of 6th grade. I couldn't help but cry, even though my parents were still proud of me. I managed to maintain my A's and B's for the next 2 years, but all my A's were just because my teachers didn't give much work, and even then they were only a few points away from a B. 8th grade year comes. I have friends, but start having major family problems. I still maintain my grades, but I'm starting to slack off and procrastinate more. Now I'm 4 weeks into high school, freshman year (yes, I'm a freshman, I know how young I am). I'm stressed barely maintaining the A's I have, one-three points away from getting a B in several classes. There is more and more pressure being put on me to make good grades so I can get a scholarship to college because my family is broke. Wait, what about drawing? My art? I haven't been inspired to draw in probably a year now. Yeah, I've drawn a little bit here and there, but before, I used to draw all the time. I used to draw every day, constantly coming up with ideas. Now? I have no inspiration. I want to, but I never know what to draw or how to draw it. I'm also at a loss for what I want to do with my life. I have to go to college in 4 years, but I have no idea what I want to do with my life. "You have plenty of time!" Oh? Then why is everyone still pressuring me to get to college? To decide what I want to do with my life? Why am I pressured with all this when I have "so much time" to think about it? They say to enjoy your childhood, but how am I when school takes up half of my day and determines what I'll do in life? By the time kids realize they should enjoy the freedom they have, it's already too late. They're already trapped with schoolwork. Sorry for the rant :') Edit: wow, i never saw how many likes and replies this got. Its depressing how many people have to go through this sort of thing. Also its a year later and I still don't know what i'm doing with my life :')
Katelyn_Baka Don't apologize !!! This is way to true !! I LOVED reading!!!! Literally my favorite thing to do and then after middle school, I lost that love. Wait what is reading again ? When did I do that ? Why do we HAVE to know what we "want" to do, if in the end we won't even be able to choose our own career ? "You have LOTS of time " say that to a Senior who still doesn't know what the ***** she's gonna do
Katelyn_Baka everyone needs to rant,to tell their story,it’s sad what school does to people,it’s literally torture,and parents scream and curse at us for the grades we bring home,they should teach us some actual fucking life skills
Of course try to keep your grades up but within reason don’t work yourself to insanity of course do homework and the like but most of it is kinda pointless in the long run
If you don't i'll just rant some stories in my mind Before i came to 4th grade i was just learning how to draw both of my brothers encouraged me to draw and said it was really good my life was still good until i turned to grade 5th grade people now are starting to bully me im still at that quiet stage where i don't talk to anyone but i am starting to get out of my cell.... BUT then someone spread a rumor about me that i liked a guy i do know him but i didn't even liked him so i started to talk lesser and lesser after the school ends and it was afternoon my parents started fight at first i thought maybe it was just something trivial but it continues to my sophomore year when at highschool some of the days i get a mental break down where i cried not knowing why also the bullying continues in highschool as well as my parents feud or if you don't know fighting... Also if they are alcoholics...Now im in 2nd year still a quiet little kid who deosn't know where to go and cuts her wrists, her stomach, neck, legs, etc. Please help me.... Im all alone....
This is a good example of supply and demand: The American’s in the community want to understand what there listening to And jupyphonic serves it on a plater with her amazing voice and all :)
My Parents: It's okay to be yourself and be open about your feelings ^^ Me: _Acting a tad masculine and tries to talk about my mental health_ My Parents: *People will judge you if you like that and you'll get over it*
Me: *Proceeds to do taxes using the quadratic formula* Government: What are you doing? Me: This is how I was taught in school Government/the school board: l-
The only thing my school taught me was "children's rights". Like srsly??? Half of us have gone to highschool not even knowing our frikin times tables cause all they taught us frikin children's rights 😡😡😡😠😠😠
@@furkangundogdu7766 And untrue. To be "grown up" is to be "mature". Now you might think that means being stoic no matter what but that is simply not the case. To be mature is to be self sufficient enough to no longer need your parents constant care and to be able to take responsibility for yourself, your actions and possibly others (pets, kids and such). Beyond that of course we have societal norms still but nowhere near as strict as defined here. In essence, to be an adult all you need is to take the adequate amount of responsibility within your personal and professional life. Beyond that your duty is only to try to live in a way to try to be happy instead of bearing a mask and wallow in solitude.
Sometimes I don't even want to excel at my classes anymore. I just want to pass. And it's a very fine line between wanting to pass exams and wanting to pass away. I keep putting my education before my mental health because I've realized the real world won't care.
Lyrics: Feel it cutting into me the the doubting painful knife Feel it deepening the rift finally hit just right Couldn't take the love I had so weak and burning low But it grew into a weapon only hurting me This I know... is Non-fiction So good with number, science, math I like But I'm terrible at English so I despise This part of me that wants a simple right or wrong And I feel that everything I chose will always be false And today This homework About me A blank sheet Accomplished Content with This life I Will now live 'Til I think, Why are we Just sometimes, No always Saying how we're sad and Saying how we're lonely? Can you even read the blackboard, written clear as can be? Can you even read his mind? See that kid's lost fantasy? Can you even find the one who dyed his red heart to black? Hey, who could it be? HEY SOMEONE TELL ME!! Can you even solve the question with your abacus yet? Can you even stop the rope from hanging him by his neck? Did we really choose it right Saying we're okay this way? Hey, just tell me how It's not like I care now Counting days like numbers, they all pass their prime And again, hypnotically Swimming through time Behind the power and guards I put up I hide... Knowing they had long died From problems My resolve Just can't solve That homework Accomplished Content with This life I Will now live 'Til I think And he speaks That demon Inside us Saying "Let me just leave" Saying "Someone kill me!" Can you even read the blackboard, written clear as can be? Can you even read his mind? See that kid's lost fantasy? Can you even find the one who dyed his red heart to black? Hey, who could it be? HEY SOMEONE TELL ME!! Can you even solve the question with your abacus yet? Can you even stop the rope from hanging him by his neck? Did we really choose it right Saying we're okay this way? Hey, just tell me how! HEY, JUST TELL ME HOW! Can you even say the formula of area now? Can you even scream the dreams you swore would never go out? Who was the one who let my hopes just curl up and die? Hey, who could it be? NO, IT'S GOTTA BE!! Just open up your eyes, why don't you grow up and see? But what the hell is "growing up" and tell me when will I be?! Can a single person out there just explain it to me? Hey just tell me how It's not like I care now!
I think my hearing is permanently damaged from being in a class full of 6-year-olds blowing too hard into a recorder next to my ears. I just question how the teachers stood it.
Y'know, Why do schools teach you the recorder if you're never going to use that in any part of your life, that is DUMB. All teachers are are DUMB DUMB BUBBLEGUMS.
I don't like school. And no, it's not for the reason of being work or teachers or anything like that, it is just how everyone is so quick to judge. They want you to measure up to society's expectations. And that is truly horrible. I'm that one girl who is always invisible because I don't meet what the society wants. And, I honestly don't care what they think. It's just, school is like a place of misery sometimes, and the only reason why I want to stay home so much is because I want to be alone and away from society. Being alone makes me feel like I really matter.
I know! I like being alone too, I just don't like school telling everyone how to run their lives and I will take my own path for my life...I don't want to become a mindless zombie to the economy and have nothing enjoyable ever happen! I want to be free from this economy and all of these rules!! they drain all of the life out of me every single day, so I always feel very drained and don't feel like doing anything.
+Wilford Warfstache I have been dealing like that since I was 9 and I am 12 now...it's because I used to be bullied because I was smart and I died mu hair different colors.
School just doesn't care about their students anymore, they only care about our grades. Not our mental health, not our feelings, but how we're doing in school. Ever come to the conclusion that we're failing because school makes us depressed, anxious, and tired? We slave doing our work, just to get a passing grade so our parents aren't disappointed in us. They set standards, and that's stressful. You either pass or fail, no in between. It's stressful. But guess what? We have no say in it, we're all just children attending school. We have no say in any of it. Sadly, nothing will ever change, and the school system will stay corrupt no matter how hard we push our points.
All my life, people have tried to convince me that i'm too young to experience true sadness. That I haven't seen the worst bits of it. But see, you don't need countless years of textbook wisdom to experience the emotion of being broken.
Duichu I'm not exactly good with words, but thank you. I've just had people say this to me more than enough in the past and i'm trying not to think it to be true.
Time to tell a good ol’ story. To put in short, the teacher was like “Do you want me to call your dad?” the kid who didn’t have a dad responded “I don’t have a dad.” and the most ridiculous thing happened, she legit screamed “are you talking back to me, I will be happy to send you to detention” And the whole class legit hated her after that, The poor kid didn’t even have a dad, why the hell was she getting so angry about it? he probably told his mom because he moved shortly after that and was doing home school, I moved too, and I think my friend told me she moved.
That's literally how a conversation WORKS. She asked a question and the kid answered. How the fuck did she even become a teacher if she doesn't know that, it's legit common fucking sense.
What hits the hardest to me is "and again hypnotically swimming through time" as it feels like im trying to juggle so many tasks at once that i need to stop thinking about anything other than work which leads me to feel like im in a trance of just hitting the keyboard key by key over and over day by day and it starts to make one think of a day as just a part of a set rather than a new experience and it leads to more work and less enjoyment which leads to less enjoyment and less enjoyment and less enjoyment and less enjoyment until i start to avoid thinking about anything by working harder to have less time to think about how little enjoyment im having which leads to more work which leads to more work which leads to more work which leads to more work which leads to more work which leads to trying to avoid work by focusing on enjoyment which leads to more stress due to avoiding the work which leads to less enjoyment which leads to less enjoyment in an infinite loop which self deprecates like an endless trance of self destruction like how when you are swimming forwards like you do in the game of life you just do one stroke at a time, over, and over, and over which you cant escape and even this comment feels like im just typing out words to fit this subject well like i have been trained in school hey can you tell ive been revising this over and over and over and over from my original draft? can you? can you? well i have originally there were some typo's and it was many (edited) pages of just pure walls (edited) but over the course of an hour i have been typing and typing (edited 2x (even this edited sign was edited)) this work into a more refined work (edited). Can you see how much we try to correct our minor mistakes because how we have been trained? in a few sentences i have edited 10 words. (Full edit starts here) This is also linked to the rising suicide and shooting rates as when people are pushed to the brink they take drastic measures which can be for them to end all the suffering or to cause suffering to other people in an awful exchange which just leads to more problems. Have you ever been so frustrated with something you just wanted to scream or destroy/change/stop something? Just listening to this music and writing this comment makes me want to somehow destroy the school system.
In America if a kid fails The teacher will humiliate them in front of the class. Their parents will yell at them and punish them for 'not trying hard enough'. And their siblings/peers will bully them and call them idiots. Yet no one thinks for second to actually help them understand the subject.
Not just america, every single country, I have this happening regularly in my school and it's really starting to make me disappointed with everything. At this point I've kinda just given up on trying to get to sympathise with adults.
I'm in Australia, my maths teacher said I'm getting a 0 as my maths grade of I can't present. I couldn't present it all because nobody in my group even helped me and plus I can't speak Infront of the class lol
my older sister is actually understanding, she helps me with homework when i dont understand. i get surprised sometimes when I hear my friends say that their siblings make fun of them. The only teacher i have that actually teaches is my science my art and basically not my main teacher ;-;. (im on my last year for elementary school)
My school caused me so much stress and anxiety that I ended up in the hospital for a week. Yes. Stress caused my lungs to let air out into my chest and couldn't anything that involved too much moving for months. None of the teachers give shit :) And I wasn't the only one who ended up like this. But guys, please remember: you are awesome, no matter what anyone tells you
@@WanderingWisp9526 Hey i started sixth grade this week, i know how you feel.feeling like shit while all your classmates are jumping around and are A+ Students is total shit, just keep it together and find things that make you happy, hobbies, family, and every time you feel productive take that notebook and study that stuff, you will get through this, i believe in you :]
Not so fun fact: our school system hasn’t changed too much since older times, and that doesn’t seem good. I mean, we can’t be hit, and most everyone can go to school, but what is the point of going if most of the students aren’t learning, just memorizing.
Do you know what all those kids want to be famous when they’re younger and then when they have to and they get older they have to settle for a fast food restaurant employee because they don’t have enough money to stable their home in their house because of school and their dreams become a distant memory from them and it sucks a lot. So I feel like school should prepare us on what we want to do with our lives. Because someone like me that want to become a voice actor is going to need help. And everyone keeps on telling me “you’re going to have to know another voice actor if you want to become a voice actor yourself then it becomes way easier to get into the business” yada yada yada. I think if I get a role in a video game a popular one to be exact like sonic or something. Then that will be my first step into the voice acting career.
Once a summer school teacher yelled at me because I was complaining, calmly and in a monotone voice, my argument that school has a negative impact on me and many others and that things should change or we shouldn’t have to go. She started YELLING at the top of her lungs saying I was lucky to be educated at all as a woman, and that I should calm down. Um...quality matters more than quantity, and we lived in America sooo...not like girls weren’t allowed in schools at all. Half my teachers and fellow students were women, but that means nada if we all wanna die and the employees are treated as expendable trash.
Parents Do Care For Their Kids But The Fact That School Doesn't Give Two Shits And Making Parents Believe That Mental Health Isn't Even Important That Much Anymore All They Want Is For Us To Get Good Grades Yet Thats A Problem And They Can't Barely See through That.
@@user-yd2xc1yv8q if you're having mental health problems, they do care, it's just that they can't exactly tell until you tell someone on the staff, usually the guidance counselor, or your parent tells somebody, also usually the guidance counselor.
@@revui5582 sadly, this isn't always true. When I was a student, my teachers always pushed us to complete our homework, our seatworks, quizzes, exams, etc. I tell them about how I suffered from depression, and how my brain isn't capable of memorization. They wouldn't believe me. I even had to retake an oral exam because of reciting every single one of the elements in the periodic table. And this was after I told them about my predicament. They didn't care at all.
I have not any mental healt, and it's all school fault, afterall I never had a friend in 11 school years and my schoolmates bulled me since elementar school... everything is just... shit. (sorry I needed to tell somebody ab that... and sorry: I'm italian and I dk very well the english language)
Storytime! (Not related to school but also just kinda wanted to get this out lol): I remember when I first came out as asexual to my parents. I told them and came up with this whole thing about literally coming out of the closet, and after all of it, they just said, “Oh, no you aren’t.” This really stuck with me for a while but recently I went to my friend’s house and we were talking about it and all, and on the car ride home me and my sister were talking about being queer and such and my mom said to me, “You’re ace?” Or “You can’t be,” or something around those lines, and it took both me AND my sister being like, “no yeah, she’s asexual,” for our mom to finally get it in her head. Maybe it’s because “I’m too young” or they just don’t want to believe their bloodline is ending or something, but tbh they also traumatize me a lot so yeah (oh and sidenote: no they aren’t homophobic or transphobic or anything like that)
I had a very similar experience with my parents when I came out to my parents as ace. They got kinda mad. My brother accepted me but my parents still struggle with the thought
I failed a pop quiz on history and the teacher decided to punish me by singing in front of the whole class, and I sang this! My teacher said nothing once I was done while some of my classmates were cheering XD BWAHAHAHAHAHA
“I feel every question I choose will always be false” - School putting stress on children at a young age, giving them anxiety feeling as they will always be wrong “But what is growing up and tell me when will I be?” - Parents and Teachers are always telling us to “grow up”, but what does that really mean? “Did we really choose it right saying we’re okay this way?” - Saying things like “I’m fine” and stuff, lying about our mental health and thoughts “Can you even scream the dreams you swore would never go out?” - Usually, at a young age, kids say things like “I want to be a ___ when I grow up!”, and when we get older, you feel like you can never achieve such. “Can you even find the one who let my dreams just curl up and die?” - same as the last one. “It’s not like I care now” - Lying about feelings, not wanting to open up this is just my analysis scree
Incoming Vent: So I was getting ready for school when my mom decided to check my grades.(I had mostly A's 1B, and an F in art because my assignment had gotten lost and it was the biggest assignment of the year) My mom went CRAZY about my F. I didn't see why she was so mad about my F when she didn't care about the A I had all year before that. She had constantly said she didn't care about my grade in art, so why was this making her so mad? It's like she didn't care when I did well, but she was always ready to attack well I messed up. She started yelling like CRAZY, keep in mind when it comes to my parents I'm overly sensitive about everything they say. If someone where to call me an idiot I wouldn't care, but if they were I'd take to heart. She was yelling so many offensive things that I just dont want to get into. I started crying, I kept crying all morning even when I entered school, usually I'd have cooled down, but I just couldn't there was so much negative energy I just needed to let out. I'm usually so live and and energetic around my friends, so when when they seen my crying they were shocked, they've known me for 3 years and I've never cried in front of them. They tried to comfort me, but it felt like I couldn't hear it. I spent the next 5 minutes crying before I stopped, though I was gloomy all day after that Thanks for letting me vent, it felt good
this is so sad :( no parent should do this if they do they shouldn't even be called one they should atleast know what happened and why their child got a bad grade not just start screaming such harsh and cruel words to their own child without them saying what happened and why they did bad I hope u have good life ahead :) 😔❤️
THIS! People ignore children when they are excelling, but then hyper focus on when they mess up? It’s like throwing out everything in your fridge because one thing was broken. Don’t disregard accomplishments if you’re going to regard mistakes
Wtf? Parents have issues, this isn't healthy and is absolutely disgusting. I'm so sorry, and will always be here if you need to vent again or just talk to someone. Okay?
Just pulled on a thread on the algorithm that led me back to this song. A decade ago now, when I first heard it, it felt like finally someone had seen into what I was experiencing in my final years of high school, forcefully ripped those emotions out of my chest, and put them into musical form. Lost, abandoned, having to try to put together the pieces of "who am I?" without even the beginnings of the tools to do so, and no one around that I could really ask for help in doing so. I literally had to write an essay about my life story and I just wrote the most cliche narrative rather than anything that felt like me to me, because I had no idea of what was actually truly me back then, and no safe place to explore it or vent it. I felt trapped, hopeless, that it would be a shock if I made it to 20, let alone still be around come 30. "But what the hell is 'growing up,' and tell me when will I be?" This song was cathartic, a scream into the abyss. And then, well, life happened, I rolled with the punches, sometimes better than others, and while I tried to keep track with this song as I hopped between music services, archives and devices, eventually it just kinda... got missed and faded. I'd still think about it sometimes, stumble on the backup I had on my computer that I no longer used for music listening, but never really got to properly re-experience it. But then today I tugged on that thread and wound up back here, and just got to feel it again. And... the song isn't staring into my very soul anymore. It's relatable, still, yes, but... I've grown up. I know who I am, I know what my dreams and goals are, I no longer wish to stop existing, I have things and people to live for. Hell, I even have a girlfriend now, something that 17 year old me thought was an unrealistic fantasy, falling in love again and having someone think I'm worthy of that love. I'm so much more in touch with my emotions than the me of a decade ago who tried to smother them because emotions seemed to lead to harm and pain, and... I can be happy. I can actually laugh honestly now. I no longer hear this song and scream along with it. Instead, I hear it and I mourn. For the past me, who dealt with the weight of the world and crushing loneliness and inescapable failure, and for everyone else who also heard this song and felt seen. Because life shouldn't have to be that way, no one deserves to have to feel that way, no one should have to feel so broken, torn, and alone. But at the same time... I hear this song and I see how much I've grown in the past 10 years. I made it. I've done what I thought was impossible, and made it to the other side. I still struggle, no day is a cakewalk and I definitely have seasons where I regress back into the darkness and numbness. And this past decade has not been easy, by any means; the growth was slow and painful and disjointed. But for anyone who's made it this far in my weird rambling trip down memory lane (if anyone is even still reading), for anyone who still hears this song and needs to scream and rage alongside it, I know what it's like. I see you. But I also know it can get better. Scream, cry, let it out, feel the emotion and let it light a fire in you. Tell that fire "I am the master of my fate" and *choose* who you will grow up as, what values you will live and what virtues you will exemplify. It's not easy, but I know you can make it. You're stubborn, and you're stronger than you know. Your story is nonfiction, but you get to write it yourself, page by page.
I came back to this cover several years later, the first time i listened to it i really didn't understand it but now that i'm back here it's honestly so relatable to listen to, but I'd just like to point out the INCREDIBLE vocal work from Juby, to be honest it's as amazing as a cover like this can get, hell she has even better work and that says a lot! so i congratulate you for your progress.
One time my friend was sitting against the wall with some other kids not participating in gym, and she was crying. (She has bad anxiety) and the teacher took a picture of them. I really hate my school. (I would've helped but I was in a different class ;-;)
I remember listening to this at age 10 and relating to this a bit too much, it’s surprising how much my mental health has improved since im homeschooled. I’m actually scared to go back next year
"Just tell me how, it's not like I care now!" Is probably my favorite line from this song. The entire song is relatable, but I often find myself just forgetting things I learn in school, especially things related to English, like writing. I forget it, because I don't really care.
Hey kids remember: -Your feelings matter -YOU matter -You're not a failure, no matter what your parents, peers or teachers say. Failing is an act that happens to everyone, on both small scales and massive ones, not a personality -You're not a mistake either -You're not broken, the system is -If you're struggling extremely badly with focusing, organization, and completing things on time, even if you know the material, it means you might have an undiagnosed neurodivergency or another condition. (Depression can also cause similar symptoms.) It does NOT mean you're a failure or stupid. -*The system is broken. You are not.* -This suffering ends. -The pain ends. -There is a light at the end of tunnel -There is hope. -This gets better. You have a future. Things change, and for better or worse, but things change. -*There is hope*
@Charlotte Melendy *The majority of the human race _makes_ mistakes. There are bad and stupid people everywhere. But that doesn't mean they are the majority- the majority sometimes listen to these bad people, but ultimately do not want to cause harm. Most people are just kind of... selfish, and can't see beyond themselves. But no one _wants_ to be bad. Most are just...well...stupid. And can be manipulated by genuinely bad people, and even people who try their hardest to be good make mistakes. But there's still good in this world. And there is still good in humanity- we wouldn't have survived this long if there wasn't. There's still people who try, people who are willing to learn, however impossible they seem to find. I promise.
@@WanderingWisp9526 Hey, It's okay. Really. Creating- in any form, at any quality- is an incredible, beautiful thing. If you can't bear to keep what you create, just fold it up, gently, and throw it away. Every time you do whatever it is, you get a little bit better at it. Even if you can't see the change. And if you can? Keep it. Even if it's shitty as hell. You'll feel better for it. I hope your having a good day too
The only thing good about these sad songs is that it let's you know you are not the only one suffering so yeah you are not alone no matter how many sad songs you listen to ( Am I right? )
School is Something WE always wanted to do, but parents ruin the fun saying "oh you should just do your homework, its not that hard or anything" ........ And i swear, i just wanna say "if you think its easy to solve a question, then what will you feel if you were treated like this by your parents? bad right? then give me some time and i'll be happy doing school work." then again, nobody even cares about you, only your Intelligence and thats about it.
Phone teaches more than school Games:teach you to self defense -test your eyesight -tell a story that is interesting -help you upgrade your talent -give you happiness -and more School -teaches you things you don't need to learn -help you destroy your dream -give you a question that you can't answer then blame it to games -raise your suicide percent
@@mukplayz7413 Moreover, Games not only teach you about storytelling, it gives you situations that you wouldn't see in the real world. In a way, It's stress relief. You get to live in a world without restrictions.... Fanfiction, too, teaches people about why grammar matters and how to give and take criticism. It stimulates creativity and allow people to write out wishes.
people need to learn to not blame phones, i'm spanish and my english is better compared to the rest of my class because i always watched videos in english when i was little. i still make some mistakes, but one of my friends still pronounces "story" and "history" the same
Government: You're an adult you should learn how to do taxes by now! Me, an intelligent individual: Well, not to brag or anything, but I do know that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. ;)
Can't believe I've been subscribed to Juby for nearly 9 years, I remember when I saw this song in my subscriptions, The original song's lyrics spoke a lot to me in a way I didn't expect, and Juby's performance is still as amazing as I remember. I'm glad they got the recognition they deserve, Juby deserves 1 mil subscribers and more!
It is just me or is school starting to get too far? Like, teachers don't give a frick about their student's mental health. My brother doesnt do anything but study and do homework when he comes back from school. He never comes out from his room unless he wants to eat a snack. Sometimes I check on him and he looks like his about to cry. And the school system says "everythings fine." I'm a bit happy my math teacher doesnt pressure us a lot and he makes us laugh, but the thing is, one minute his all happy and making us laugh the next minute he screams at us for making pen noises from clicking on ACCIDENT. All my teachers make my classmates stressed and I can actually tell. Some of my classmates sleeping, some stressed as hell trying to do a question which isnt supposed to be taught at our age, some actually crying. And all teachers will tell their students, "You guys will fail if you don't get on track." Do teachers get that they're driving their students crazy? My friend who sits in front of me can't see the board anymore since she has been studying alot until her eyes are sore. Teachers act shock when they find out one of their students commited suicide but they really don't care. The School system is making us pay money just so that we can go crazy until we kill ourselves. On top of that, we have our parents who give us pressure too. My father keeps on saying, " Do well or I'll not be happy. " They spend money not only on school but on practice papers too. I really feel like every kid shouldnt go through this... Even kids at 6 or 7 feels this.. Imagine, seeing your cheerful and adorable kid starting to be distant and angry with you... Anyways this is what I wanna say. Every student out there, dont worry about how you look or how people think of you. Your Unique and Beautiful! Stay in there
Wish I can go back in third grade and tell myself that “you don’t need to change yourself to fit in with others just be yourself” but it’s too late now. I’m going into sixth grade this year and I’m not happy about it. But I’ve changed myself so much over the past three years to feel like I can fit in with others. And now look at me I’m in the sonic fandom and also in many other fandom‘s, and a Simp. I really shouldn’t have done what I did three years ago. She becoming even weirder than I was. But being weird is normal so yeah. Oh what I ask and emotionally scarred and fourth grade yeah that was in a get a year for me either.
School is like jumping into a puddle, it is fun.... at first but than you are in a wet mess and the puddle cause a thunderstorm. Then near the end of the year it is a hurricane, then summer comes and there is a wave a relief after the hurricane. Repeat until done with highschool/college
exept in 2020 it turns into a tsunami and you cant escape and your trying to swim to the top and you try and try..... but you drown and summer drys up all the water and you survive
Sitting here crying while listening to this for the first time in a while. This is truly the gifted kid burnout song. I was marked a gifted child and had it drilled into my head early on that if I made mistakes or asked questions, it meant I was a failure. Gifted kids were held up to the expectation of being perfect students who never needed input from teachers. Now I'm sitting here in college failing more classes than I can count and too scared to reach for help because of the perfectionist mindset I was forced into. And yet here I am studying to be a teacher because I wasted so much of my childhood on school that I have no life outside of it.
The school system fucked me up. Literally my school never accommodated me back then, and it still doesn’t now. I never got a chance to calm down when I was overwhelmed, snd when I had a mental breakdown, I was punished for being a crybaby. I eventually learned to just mask my emotions, which I now do on a daily basis, even out of school, finding it super fucking hard to cry when Im upset. I never learned in a way that was easy for me, being a neurodivergent person (ADHD) and had to learn the way neurotypical people learned. My high school has these award ceremonies for the top ten smartest of our grade. It was all neurotypical people, which I already knew was going to happen. What made me the most upset was this comment the principal made. “We know how hard each and everyone of your lifes are. But the fact that you could put that aside to do your work is amazing.” That shit pissed me off. Some kids just cant ‘put it aside’ and its fucked that you basically punish them for doing so. School for me is like a ranking. The ‘dumb’ students at the bottom, getting no positive recognition, and the ‘smart’ students at the top, being put on a pedistal, as well as being pressured to do good and keep the facade up. The truth is, all students are smart, just in completely different ways. Each person has an interesting thing to say. The system just refuses to acknowledge it. Fuck the school system.
I agree whole-heartedly. A friend of mine got sucked up by expectations when we were in 8th and broke down during class. In 10th now. I know he's smart. He's good at stuff. Maybe getting marks isn't one of them, but why the fuck does that matter so much if he tried so hard?
When I first heard this, I was like: whoa I relate. Now that I'm a sophomore in highschool, I REALLY RELATE, WHOA! School is all about memorizing, testing, repeat. If you don't memorize something, you're forced to redo the same thing over and over again. Sometimes I wonder if I'd do better dropping out, but drop outs barely make it anywhere...
Actually every drop out I know has been more successful than you think. Just because they dropped out doesn’t mean they can’t go back or get a job,it’s just every so slightly harder than with a degree/diploma etc
Used to listen to this back in 5th grade because I was a gifted kid who was struggling. Now I'm 19 and a half, graduated high school, and now having to process the trauma. I was in so much pain.... and now I relate too much to the parts that talk about the happiness, dreams, and fantasies dying
Schools: “it’s not that hard”
Also schools: *hires teachers who don’t explain the work, don’t care about the students input and put an unbearable amount of stress on kids*
Me: you’re... you’re kidding... right?!
U know wats really the most stressing is when ur sick and absent well for me bcuz like I get the homework and literally no one explains even when I don’t know and when I get back to school teacher be like why is this that blank and I can’t reply cuz they won’t let me in the end I get punished and caned cuz I didn’t do homework
i went to a pretty fancy private school until sixth grade, and there were no grades. they'd test us and they'd give us reports midyear and end of year, but it would be so hard to get a bad report. you'd have to be /trying/ to get a bad report to get anything even remotely wrong other than "unorganized". anyway, in seventh i moved to a regular public school and the amount of pure SHOCK it was crazy. i had heard this song before but i hadn't really loved it or related to it so it wasn't on any of my playlists. I remembered it and i did a whole google search research and it took me half an hour to find this song again. now it's my favorite song because it's too relatable.
what i hate about schools is that they expect us to be perfect. if we get bad grades they suspend us, if we don't behave well they suspend us, if we don't give 3 sheets of math homework in one week paired with many more pieces of other subjects in time, they put our grades down. you are pressured to be the best, and if you aren't you are classified as a "lazy dumb person". we have our lives and want to have fun.
don't let schoolwork crush your dreams.
idk what I wanna be in the future but because of all of the problems the students in this comment section have, I might wanna become a teacher so that I can actually help the struggling students over here
Well I want to be a manga artist but I don't have time to draw cuz school and lessons get in my way...

Thanks for the rift between me and my emotions, thanks for making me not understand other people's emotions, thanks for making me react with the wrong emotions, thanks for making me unable to cry, thank you for making me feel like all my sadness is being poured into an unmovable ever-expanding cup, school!

Yea. Even as an adult now, looking back at this is painful. I certainly don't want the younger generation feel the same way as I did. I always reflect on this if one of my younger friends had trouble fighting their own demons.
The worst thing is that the teachers WERE kids . If they know our pain why are they treating us like this ?
They weren't. They are demons straight up from hell
@@Atomic_Pinneaple I wouldn't call them demons but people who forgot what it meant to feel miserable and embarrassed.
trust me a big amount of the time its not the teachers fault its the district/states fault. teachers have to have a minimum number of grades for a class and they have to show that kids are getting good grades in that class so it forces them to do stuff that they don't want to do. a majority of the complaints you have about teachers often is more the fault of the district/state/other higher power than of the teacher
They had no control over their lives then, and they're taking it out on us so they can have a sense of control they still don't have. vicious cycle, man

Who knows how much your life can change in just a year.. Let alone two, or three. Please, please don’t give up 🩷 even if your dreams seem so far, or not worth even dreaming for, someday, they may actually become reality, and someday, you might be able to look back at this moment, and realize that YOU MADE IT.
We live life in moments.. Which means that, every moment will pass. Even what you’re experiencing right now..
As a human- never-mind that i’m a stranger, I believe in you. Keep going. Keep hoping. Keep dreaming. Keep fighting. Cherish all of the good moments; even if they’re small, because they matter, and at the end of the day, that’s all we’ve got.. Good moments, and good people; maybe not right now, but they’re out there, and if you’re not there, how will you ever even *hope* to find them?
Good luck, man. You’ve got this.
My favorite line in this song is "Can you even say the formula of area now?!" This is because it really shows that if we could just tell our parents and teachers how bad it truly is for us, they wouldn't be able to handle all the pressure we're given either. If they were in our spots, they'd struggle just as much.
They did suffer just like us it only makes me wonder why they let us suffer through it.
@@chloeg6399 true, but I wonder if they've forgotten or if they had it better.
@@chloeg6399 yea but they forget and make the same mistakes they're parents/guardians did to them by putting pressure on us..
@@caitlynmiller6662both. They forgot but they also had it better, for example, in my country the final exam for high schools features 2/3 written exams and a final spoken exam, talking about the spoken exam, as of right now we can't prepare a presentation with a topic to talk about (which connects to other subjects), but we'll have to connect a random topic we'll get on the same day.
My parents could choose which subject to bring for the spoken exam, but still, no presentation about a topic, but they had to talk about 2/3 subjects maximum, but they had all the school year to prepare
And they most likely forgot everything, for example whenever I ask for help in math they don't remember or also, I haven't done any biology related classes on 2/3 years.. And I somewhat forgot a big chunk of stuff, except the things I actually cared about.
So yeah they forgot everything, but they also had it better, with different schedules and different types of exams etc.. Things got worse in the school system tbh, especially exams
As I am now 25 I can confirm that they have forgotten. I am noticing that I am forgetting it myself.
I DESPISE the education system, for so many reasons.
When I was in third grade, I was screaming and crying to my parents about how bad I wanting to drop out, IN THIRD GRADE, because of all the pressure the teachers put on me. But, no, they really said, "your education matters more than your emotions." Sure, I was extremely gifted in reading, language, that stuff, but everything else was hell for me. Instead of the teachers helping me with my horrible grades, they humiliated me in front of my whole class, including my "friends." It didn't help that they watched the people who were supposed to be my friends laugh at me, slam my head into the ground, give me bloody noses, break my arm, fracture my ankle, and just hurt me in every way possible. I was also horrible in P.E, and the teacher said she was just "trying to motivate me," when she told me repeatedly how useless and weak I was. By the time I was in fifth grade, my parents had to stop me from purposely overdosing on my medicine, and then proceeded to lecture me about how bad of a crybaby I was, and that I would never be successful. The next day, I failed my math test, and that just made everything even worse. It was appearently "my fault, because I stayed up all night playing video games," when, in reality, I was up all night studying until I could barely see. But, no, of course, I wasn't doing anything except for being useless.
We REALLY need to make better changes to the school system.
Oh my god that is awful. The system definitely needs to change. It has failed far too many people.
Overdosing on meds in 5th grade?!
I guess the school system is the most horrible and boring place ever made.
If you overdose on meds while still in elementary, the school board failed at being a "family-friendly" company.
In forth grade I was so lonely to the point where the school would make people spend time with me. In prep i transfered schools cuase I hated my first school and cried every morning. In 1st grade my dad died infont of me. Sorry I'm being annoying ;_;

Why Does This Sound So Accurate?
This is so true tho..
That bitch teachers don't deserve their jobs.
There were 3 students who committed suicide in my school..
One was in my principal's arms.. the kid bled to death from glass shards.. they were playing around in the halls with somone else and they got caught in the door..
I don't know the details about the other ones but those were from a little while ago..
Edit: wait that isn't suicide that was mischief that killed him.
@DANIELLA SIFUENTES Are you doing better now? Not that my statement helps anyways.. Anxiety sucks on its own.
To the words “it’s not like I care now!” Those words mean a lot to me because after going through so much because of school and parents, it broke me and I couldn’t care about anything anymore, or I couldn’t remember how to care for anything
Unfortunately there is some truth to that. My 6 years at high school has turned me into a cynical apathetic asshole. And I hate it for that.

I wish schools would stop calling certain kids "gifted" or "special" just because they're able to comprehend basic subjects a little more quickly and easily than the rest of their peers. Because all that did was make me afraid of failure ever since the first grade, when I got an S on my weekly report for "Satisfactory" instead of the E for "Excellent" like I'd usually always gotten. I was so in denial about it, that I took some Wite-Out, went over the S, and changed it to an E before crying to my parents because I felt bad about lying. Not to mention the fact that they never consistently challenged us with harder work. In 4th grade, while everyone else was practicing their math, my teacher had me and the other "smart" kids go in the hallway to build toothpick bridges. Why? Other than to give us something to do, I'm still not sure.
I'm also a "gifted" kid and you know what happened with me?
I've developed such a severe defeatist attitude and procrastination issues to the point where if I cant immediately figure out how to do something or do it all in one go I just fucking
give up
and tell myself that I'll "do it later"
the only reason I did even okay in 8th grade was because all the assignments were short and simple
and now everything is piling up and I haven't done jack shit because "why even try?" and it's literally ruining my entire life and I wish I could change but it all circles back to "why even try" and I hate it
And when your in gifted they make you do so much extra work like just because we 2 more iq we can cure cancer and Alzheimer when I was in third grade my gifted teacher made us do projects on egypt and one time I subbmited one 2 hours late cuz it was a 10,000 word essay and she sent me a doc that said" Weres your maturity? 0%"

It's not just school life that is like that. Parents can also set expectations for their kids that they can't achieve, like wanting them to be good at stuff the kid doesn't like or want to do, and even comparing them to siblings when the kid has chosen a different path from them. If it wasn't that I found someone who loves and understands me for who I am, I'm not sure where I would be right now.
I'm not sure if it's just me looking to deep into things, but I notice that in each of the "can you..." lyrics, the first set is asking about your ability to participate in class (read the blackboard, solve the question, say the area of formula), then the second set is actually asking from the student's/listener's POV (read his mind, see his lost fantasy, stop the rope from hanging him from his neck, scream the dreams you swore would never go out). It feels like even the order of the lyrics is reinforcing the idea that schools see success as more important than the students' wellbeing. Again, maybe I'm looking to far into things.
Kids who sleep in class aren’t always doing it cause they are bored sometimes something is happening at home that is preventing them from getting enough sleep at home. I was so tired at school that my teacher just let me sleep through class because I didn’t get enough sleep at home and I promised him I would do my work the following day and I did. My teacher was fine with me sleeping in class as long as I was doing my work later
That’s actually true.
It pains me to see my friends and classmates to come in and put their head down and fall asleep.
I remember this kid a few years ago asked me if he could have my chips because he was really hungry. I still think about it.
I literally bring a blanket to school to sleep whenever I can in classes, because of the amount of homework we get
I also have to skip lunch sometimes because the amount is just overwhelming and plus there's state exams too
(Btw, why the hell do state exams matter so much
Like even if we pass the state exam if you fail the class you still won't move forward, they can honestly kiss my *ss)
The government needs to realize that things like this is what's causing so many kids to drop out of school or commit non-existence (didn't want to say the word)
Overworking us will not get you better scores...

I haven't heard this song in years, and those lines still haunt me with how hard they hit. I'm pretty sure I actually can't remember the dreams I had as a kid
_It kind of hurts that I can honestly stick to the line "It's not like I care now" because when I was little, I REALLY cared. I wanted so desperately to go to my first day of school when I was 5. It was the happiest day of my life. I was gonna be a doctor and take care of my family and everything!_
_Then middle school came..._
_I just... slowly lost interest. And it wasn't out of laziness! I just felt like I wasn't doing enough (even though I definitely was). By eighth grade, I was probably only passing english because my teacher pitied the girl who went from bringing a mug to class for laughs to a hard worker to a workaholic to just crying at her desk every day._
_Then by high school, I couldn't really bring myself to strive for an A+. But being the fucking slut I am for misery, I took eight classes and a couple clubs. I started getting a kick out of making some of my teachers miserable if they made me miserable. I only did work that entertained me or felt necessary. I just wanted to go to my clubs and elective classes and go the hell home already._
_There was a time when a C would make me burst into tears. Nowadays, a C feels like a victory. And I KNOW it shouldn't be like that._
_And I look at these comments and I just wonder _*_"What in the fuck happened to all of us?"_*
I relate to everything you said.
I once wanted to go to school so bad, I thought I would make a lot of friends. I thought I would become an architect.
I got straight As in elementary, and in middle school.
And now, I'm in High school. And I just... Lost all interest.
I don't want to become an architect anymore. I lost contact with my friends from elementary and middle school. I just feel... Numb.
Before, barely passing an exam in High School felt like a victory.
Now, even if I get a D-. I don't give a damn anymore.
Same dude. I grew up with the equation “good at math”=“high grades”=“harvard uni”=“success” and so I held onto that until high school. I stopped caring too, i was more into arts and being creative. But as I tried cramming as much info in my head, my brain felt numb and I started feeling numb. I still cry with a C or even a B, but life isn’t that linear, its unrealistic. So we’re going to be okay
i feel you
im still in middle so
Too much happened. The cruelty of others against others who are different. When i was young i wanted to make things that would change the world. Inventions that would help people. Bring the world into our own hands and live in a harmonious age when we never had to fear what someone thought as we were all equal. I got good grades when I was young. Now i'm satisfied with a bare pass. Unfortunately that is the process that people call "Growing up" in our society. We're kicked down and kept down, no matter what we do. So it became easier to just give up. However, my spark has been reignited by the good people I have around me. Now I may not have the technological and engineering know-how to make the things I dreamed of as a kid. That won't stop me from making virtual worlds where people can truly be free to live as they see fit. I've found my spark and reignited the fires in my heart to change the world. I hope that you guys can reignite your spark. I'll work hard to help however I can, even if we never meet or speak directly. You can bet that one day, if our paths ever cross again, I'll help. Do those reading this, never lose your spark for good. If you feel like you have, I hope even this random comment in the comment section of a music video will help you get it back.
To me this song represents how as you get older and more condemned by society's idea of "individualism." Notice how the paper is blank and white. White symbolizes innocence and the paper means a "blank" expression. Because in schools we're told from the moment we're young to be "whatever we wanna be" and then as we get older we're told "you need to do this to be successful" which completely drains the human mind into asking "what is growing up and when will I be?" Meaning when are we gonna just be adults and skip this strict system of depression and loneliness? When can I be myself? When will I be free? Blank expressions is the concept of losing ourselves and the breaking down scene in this song is how we feel on the inside but in this education system, you do what you're told. You are told how to live. You lose your own personality and lose the joy of living.
I've seen school do this to people. It's done that to me. It's depressing.
that didn't happen to me when the teacher said this is what your gonna have to do to be succesful I said that's not what I learned in kindergarten and I was happy then so I will stay that way 😊
+coo 361 still know my dreams and they will never go away
+amber61pop ... You must be incredibly smart to decipher all that just from a song 0_0 Deep as hell...
Xena Sorceress Awh thank you! I'm just into literature and social commentaries.
+amber61pop and ur profile pic is Killua...*dying*
i hate this. i hate being known as the "smart kid". i hate all the pressure i'm being put under. i hate how when i do one little thing wrong everyone looks down at me and thinks i'm not worth anything. i just hate it. today i almost thought of oding but i knocked some sense into myself before doing so... i've been doing so badly at school lately. my parents don't even talk to me with love anymore. i feel so alone... even with the few friends i have. i just hate everything. i'm trying to put some more effort in my work. i want to be worthy. i can't stand being treated like this anymore. if i try hard enough maybe this feeling will go away. maybe...
I’m really sorry for you. I hope everything is doing all right. Don’t try harder and overwork yourself in the process! Do your best and try not to work yourself to the brim of you almost dying in the process. All right I hope you have a nice day!
School isnt about learning anymore, man. It's just about passing. We arent learning. We are memorizing. The kid who has the best memory is "smart" and kids who are forgetful are "failures". We are "failures" for not being able to focus. Your "smart" old classmate from 6th grade isn't smart he just has a good memory. He isn't gifted or is a masterpiece of nature.
IKR IM DESCRIBED AS THE “smartest” CUZ I KNOW HARD STUFF
As a kid who has bad grades from spacing out on accident and having a terrible memory, this shit hits hard.
I'm a 10th grader and I'm illiterate almost, I can't do math, every class I take, I almost fail, but this year, I'm planning on fixing it all the best I can and not allowing my issues to get over me even though they might. I might have some learning issues tbh and I don't care, I just want to feel good about myself for once and not fail a damn class.
Edit 16/07/22: One year, damn. Well, to update everyone, I am indeed alive. I am now 17 and I now play H-Games for my past time. I don't know if I'll live to be 18. Thank you everyone in the replies for sharing experiences, helping out, and being nice in general. You are all amazing and I love you all /p. If I was rude to anyone in the comments, I am super sorry.
To also update everyone, I plan on getting a diagnosis when I'm 18 for autism or ADHD. People in replies have said I might have ADHD but I also see that I have symptoms for autism as well.
Ok. Listen to class, in my opinion. I had these problems, but luckily, my teachers told my parents about this and we decided I need to listen to class. I wasn't very sure of myself at first, and now I'm still kinda not, but it's going good.
@@Icycreamyfrapp do you think im not listening to class? Because I am. I don't even try spacing out, I just do and it sucks. Idk why it happens either.
@@tsunsharks I'm sorry if I offended you, I think I wasn't really thinking very thoughtfully when I was writing that comment. Also I feel sorry that you have to go though that, it must be painful.
I've passed most of my classes with flying colors so people expect me to be perfect at everything I do and when I get anything below a B I get scolded for wasting my potential
@@xcherryxxchanx3425 Same, i’m a “gifted child” and it’s lead me to have a horrible fear of failure, and anything under a 90 is a fail to me
and it’s also lead me to participate less in class because i’m scared that i’m wrong
Once a teacher told the class to humiliate me for forgetting something, let my classmates prod me with the scissors at our tables, then after begging them to stop multiple times, when I said “if I had something sharp I bet you wouldn’t be doing that”, the teacher immediately sent me to the deans with a fake sincere apology saying I was a threat to the school.
I am autistic and was a good kid so I was melting down having no idea what would happen. The police checked my bag and found nothing, of course. I begged the dean to forgive me and told him I couldn’t escape the situation as I was in a crowded portable (if you don’t know what that is, they’re like cheap trailer classrooms) with no way to get to a door.
The teacher kept her job by the way. All she did was give me a half hearted apology. My mom apparently ripped her a new one while I wasn’t in the room, but when she talked to me she never said anything supportive. My mom told me about how I could get arrested if I accidentally said stuff like that, and tried to blame a naruto poster in my room for having a sharp object on it like it gave me the idea.
I got detention for the first and only time in my school career, and when the detention proctor heard what happened, he told me it wasn’t my fault, and that teacher should’ve done something. I started crying because never had anyone told me explicitly something wasn’t my fault before. He let me just chill for my detention.
There are good people in the system, but overall they’re few and far between. The school system... it’s shitty towards everyone, especially kids with disabilities.
I understand that. I relate to it so much as well. I have two disorders, (ADHD & ADD) my mother doesn't give a shít about me, my friends are depressed and I'm literally a therapist for them and I can't vent myself. I'm bullied by my childhood friend and my other kīlled herself. I feel like no matter what everything will always be my fault. My best friend's parents' are getting divorced so her and her sister are having a bad time. I live with my mom and my father is mentally 'abusive'. I'm sorry for rambling, but if you need a friend I'll be here for you.
They were freaking prodding you with scissors, and you get all of that for threatening them? What the hell?!
@@alofii6106 yeah. I swear the world is f^cked up. People like this person don’t deserve things like this to happen to them but what can kids do anymore. (This goes for everyone who’s been sharing their school lives, including home as well.)
Ngl If I was in that class
You wouldn't need to threaten them
I have anger issues and hate to see kids getting picked on
Sooooo my younger brother with disability was supposed to go to school last year but we're scared on what might happen..
Adults and School: *pressures a kid into suicide*
Kid: *kills themself*
Adults and School: It’s that damn technology again -_-
Have you ever cried on a blank paper? The feeling that the pen in your hand weighs heavier than before? You took deep breaths trying to drown useless thoughts. That a cold chill just ran through your skin at the thought that you would fail? That even how hard you try you just can't find the answer.
Yet you grit your teeth and press on. Finishing your work is the most important thing. You can't fail this subject at any cost. Even if that stabbing pain in your chest as you continue sitting there for hours unmoving or that pain in your head caused by those little voices that urges you to stop. Counting how many hours or days you have left making you vomit due to stress and keeps you awake for hours at night.
School made me hate myself. Expectations made me wish I could just hide under the Earth never to be seen again.
Education.....
Education doesn't exist. It's just competition. We go to school to compete to kids our age. Compete for a mere recognition. In the end, what good are we than robots programmed to do certain actions dictated to us?
Yet we still press on.
all of the above
@7shot solo gotta do that and 3 tests you’re missing plus extra curricular activities everyday
"Can you even scream the dreams you swore would never go out? Who was the one who let my hopes just curl up and die?" Those lines hit me the hardest.
Growing up, I wasn't sure what I wanted to be. I finally decided to become an engineer in late elementary/early middle school (4th-6th grade). That's when I discovered my secret talent and love for art. I drew a lot and decided I would become an artist since I loved it so much. However, everyone around me kept telling me to have a backup plan because not everyone can become an artist/animator. Well, I was a straight A student all throughout elementary school. Well, middle school came, and I started to get more B's and got my first C at the end of 6th grade. I couldn't help but cry, even though my parents were still proud of me. I managed to maintain my A's and B's for the next 2 years, but all my A's were just because my teachers didn't give much work, and even then they were only a few points away from a B. 8th grade year comes. I have friends, but start having major family problems. I still maintain my grades, but I'm starting to slack off and procrastinate more. Now I'm 4 weeks into high school, freshman year (yes, I'm a freshman, I know how young I am). I'm stressed barely maintaining the A's I have, one-three points away from getting a B in several classes. There is more and more pressure being put on me to make good grades so I can get a scholarship to college because my family is broke. Wait, what about drawing? My art? I haven't been inspired to draw in probably a year now. Yeah, I've drawn a little bit here and there, but before, I used to draw all the time. I used to draw every day, constantly coming up with ideas. Now? I have no inspiration. I want to, but I never know what to draw or how to draw it. I'm also at a loss for what I want to do with my life. I have to go to college in 4 years, but I have no idea what I want to do with my life. "You have plenty of time!" Oh? Then why is everyone still pressuring me to get to college? To decide what I want to do with my life? Why am I pressured with all this when I have "so much time" to think about it?
They say to enjoy your childhood, but how am I when school takes up half of my day and determines what I'll do in life? By the time kids realize they should enjoy the freedom they have, it's already too late. They're already trapped with schoolwork.
Sorry for the rant :')
Edit: wow, i never saw how many likes and replies this got. Its depressing how many people have to go through this sort of thing. Also its a year later and I still don't know what i'm doing with my life :')
Katelyn_Baka Don't apologize !!! This is way to true !! I LOVED reading!!!! Literally my favorite thing to do and then after middle school, I lost that love. Wait what is reading again ? When did I do that ? Why do we HAVE to know what we "want" to do, if in the end we won't even be able to choose our own career ? "You have LOTS of time " say that to a Senior who still doesn't know what the ***** she's gonna do
Katelyn_Baka everyone needs to rant,to tell their story,it’s sad what school does to people,it’s literally torture,and parents scream and curse at us for the grades we bring home,they should teach us some actual fucking life skills
Of course try to keep your grades up but within reason don’t work yourself to insanity of course do homework and the like but most of it is kinda pointless in the long run
Oh same :)
If you don't i'll just rant some stories in my mind
Before i came to 4th grade i was just learning how to draw both of my brothers encouraged me to draw and said it was really good my life was still good until i turned to grade 5th grade people now are starting to bully me im still at that quiet stage where i don't talk to anyone but i am starting to get out of my cell.... BUT then someone spread a rumor about me that i liked a guy i do know him but i didn't even liked him so i started to talk lesser and lesser after the school ends and it was afternoon my parents started fight at first i thought maybe it was just something trivial but it continues to my sophomore year when at highschool some of the days i get a mental break down where i cried not knowing why also the bullying continues in highschool as well as my parents feud or if you don't know fighting... Also if they are alcoholics...Now im in 2nd year still a quiet little kid who deosn't know where to go and cuts her wrists, her stomach, neck, legs, etc. Please help me.... Im all alone....

**PSCHE LESSON** (life lessons)
Me: so when will we learn taxes?
School: The importance of cyber bullying is more important :)
"But what the hell is growing up?" Why did that part hit so hard
Same here i'm 21 right now and still trying to figure that out.
@@furkangundogdu7766 growing up means having a lot of money and being in full control of your emotions
@@furkangundogdu7766 basically never cry never be angry never be too happy and the ability to always adapt no matter what life throws at you.
@@chocoburgersenpai1627 well that sounds like it sucks
@@furkangundogdu7766 And untrue. To be "grown up" is to be "mature". Now you might think that means being stoic no matter what but that is simply not the case. To be mature is to be self sufficient enough to no longer need your parents constant care and to be able to take responsibility for yourself, your actions and possibly others (pets, kids and such). Beyond that of course we have societal norms still but nowhere near as strict as defined here.
In essence, to be an adult all you need is to take the adequate amount of responsibility within your personal and professional life. Beyond that your duty is only to try to live in a way to try to be happy instead of bearing a mask and wallow in solitude.
Sometimes I don't even want to excel at my classes anymore. I just want to pass.
And it's a very fine line between wanting to pass exams and wanting to pass away. I keep putting my education before my mental health because I've realized the real world won't care.
Lyrics:
Feel it cutting into me the the doubting painful knife
Feel it deepening the rift finally hit just right
Couldn't take the love I had so weak and burning low
But it grew into a weapon only hurting me
This I know... is Non-fiction
So good with number, science, math I like But I'm terrible at English so I despise
This part of me that wants a simple right or wrong
And I feel that everything I chose will always be false
And today
This homework

See that kid's lost fantasy?
Can you even find the one who dyed his red heart to black?

Can you even solve the question with your abacus yet?
Can you even stop the rope from hanging him by his neck?
Did we really choose it right
Saying we're okay this way?
Hey, just tell me how
It's not like I care now
Counting days like numbers, they all pass their prime
And again, hypnotically Swimming through time
Behind the power and guards I put up I hide...
Knowing they had long died
From problems

Can a single person out there just explain it to me?
Hey just tell me how
It's not like I care now!
They didn't teach us how to do taxes but at least they taught us the recorder.
I think my hearing is permanently damaged from being in a class full of 6-year-olds blowing too hard into a recorder next to my ears. I just question how the teachers stood it.
Y'know, Why do schools teach you the recorder if you're never going to use that in any part of your life, that is DUMB. All teachers are are DUMB DUMB BUBBLEGUMS.
They...they didn't even teach me the recorder ;-;
Jaeda Schuyler lol same I didn't equip those small skills
Honestly they should teach us some life skills before throwing us into college and the real world
I don't like school.
And no, it's not for the reason of being work or teachers or anything like that, it is just how everyone is so quick to judge. They want you to measure up to society's expectations. And that is truly horrible.
I'm that one girl who is always invisible because I don't meet what the society wants.
And, I honestly don't care what they think. It's just, school is like a place of misery sometimes, and the only reason why I want to stay home so much is because I want to be alone and away from society.
Being alone makes me feel like I really matter.
+Wilford Warfstache Same. ;(
I know! I like being alone too, I just don't like school telling everyone how to run their lives and I will take my own path for my life...I don't want to become a mindless zombie to the economy and have nothing enjoyable ever happen! I want to be free from this economy and all of these rules!! they drain all of the life out of me every single day, so I always feel very drained and don't feel like doing anything.

Exactly :(
When I'm alone, I feel like I am so important, but at school, I feel like trash that should be discarded...
+Wilford Warfstache I have been dealing like that since I was 9 and I am 12 now...it's because I used to be bullied because I was smart and I died mu hair different colors.

School: Do you like kids?
Teacher: No
School: You're hired!
School just doesn't care about their students anymore, they only care about our grades. Not our mental health, not our feelings, but how we're doing in school. Ever come to the conclusion that we're failing because school makes us depressed, anxious, and tired? We slave doing our work, just to get a passing grade so our parents aren't disappointed in us. They set standards, and that's stressful. You either pass or fail, no in between. It's stressful. But guess what? We have no say in it, we're all just children attending school. We have no say in any of it. Sadly, nothing will ever change, and the school system will stay corrupt no matter how hard we push our points.
All my life, people have tried to convince me that i'm too young to experience true sadness. That I haven't seen the worst bits of it. But see, you don't need countless years of textbook wisdom to experience the emotion of being broken.
that was...perfect.
This comment is perfect.

I do see :) Duichu
Duichu I'm not exactly good with words, but thank you. I've just had people say this to me more than enough in the past and i'm trying not to think it to be true.
Time to tell a good ol’ story.
To put in short, the teacher was like “Do you want me to call your dad?” the kid who didn’t have a dad responded “I don’t have a dad.”
and the most ridiculous thing happened, she legit screamed “are you talking back to me, I will be happy to send you to detention” And the whole class legit hated her after that, The poor kid didn’t even have a dad, why the hell was she getting so angry about it? he probably told his mom because he moved shortly after that and was doing home school, I moved too, and I think my friend told me she moved.
What the fuck is wrong with her
That's literally how a conversation WORKS. She asked a question and the kid answered. How the fuck did she even become a teacher if she doesn't know that, it's legit common fucking sense.
@@Navillea Sometimes people don't have common sense and it's driving me nuts.
i hope that teacher becomes the friend that has to walk behind everyone because the path is too small
@@mcganyu6870 as someone who that happens 2, i know how that feels. so yeah she deserves it
What hits the hardest to me is "and again hypnotically swimming through time" as it feels like im trying to juggle so many tasks at once that i need to stop thinking about anything other than work which leads me to feel like im in a trance of just hitting the keyboard key by key over and over day by day and it starts to make one think of a day as just a part of a set rather than a new experience and it leads to more work and less enjoyment which leads to less enjoyment and less enjoyment and less enjoyment and less enjoyment until i start to avoid thinking about anything by working harder to have less time to think about how little enjoyment im having which leads to more work which leads to more work which leads to more work which leads to more work which leads to more work which leads to trying to avoid work by focusing on enjoyment which leads to more stress due to avoiding the work which leads to less enjoyment which leads to less enjoyment in an infinite loop which self deprecates like an endless trance of self destruction like how when you are swimming forwards like you do in the game of life you just do one stroke at a time, over, and over, and over which you cant escape and even this comment feels like im just typing out words to fit this subject well like i have been trained in school hey can you tell ive been revising this over and over and over and over from my original draft? can you? can you? well i have originally there were some typo's and it was many (edited) pages of just pure walls (edited) but over the course of an hour i have been typing and typing (edited 2x (even this edited sign was edited)) this work into a more refined work (edited). Can you see how much we try to correct our minor mistakes because how we have been trained? in a few sentences i have edited 10 words. (Full edit starts here) This is also linked to the rising suicide and shooting rates as when people are pushed to the brink they take drastic measures which can be for them to end all the suffering or to cause suffering to other people in an awful exchange which just leads to more problems. Have you ever been so frustrated with something you just wanted to scream or destroy/change/stop something? Just listening to this music and writing this comment makes me want to somehow destroy the school system.

In America if a kid fails
The teacher will humiliate them in front of the class.
Their parents will yell at them and punish them for 'not trying hard enough'.
And their siblings/peers will bully them and call them idiots.
Yet no one thinks for second to actually help them understand the subject.
Not just america, every single country, I have this happening regularly in my school and it's really starting to make me disappointed with everything. At this point I've kinda just given up on trying to get to sympathise with adults.
I'm in Australia, my maths teacher said I'm getting a 0 as my maths grade of I can't present. I couldn't present it all because nobody in my group even helped me and plus I can't speak Infront of the class lol

my older sister is actually understanding, she helps me with homework when i dont understand. i get surprised sometimes when I hear my friends say that their siblings make fun of them. The only teacher i have that actually teaches is my science my art and basically not my main teacher ;-;. (im on my last year for elementary school)
My school caused me so much stress and anxiety that I ended up in the hospital for a week.
Yes. Stress caused my lungs to let air out into my chest and couldn't anything that involved too much moving for months.

Not so fun fact: our school system hasn’t changed too much since older times, and that doesn’t seem good. I mean, we can’t be hit, and most everyone can go to school, but what is the point of going if most of the students aren’t learning, just memorizing.
Yeah that's the truth about it😔
Do you know what all those kids want to be famous when they’re younger and then when they have to and they get older they have to settle for a fast food restaurant employee because they don’t have enough money to stable their home in their house because of school and their dreams become a distant memory from them and it sucks a lot. So I feel like school should prepare us on what we want to do with our lives. Because someone like me that want to become a voice actor is going to need help. And everyone keeps on telling me “you’re going to have to know another voice actor if you want to become a voice actor yourself then it becomes way easier to get into the business” yada yada yada. I think if I get a role in a video game a popular one to be exact like sonic or something. Then that will be my first step into the voice acting career.
Once a summer school teacher yelled at me because I was complaining, calmly and in a monotone voice, my argument that school has a negative impact on me and many others and that things should change or we shouldn’t have to go. She started YELLING at the top of her lungs saying I was lucky to be educated at all as a woman, and that I should calm down. Um...quality matters more than quantity, and we lived in America sooo...not like girls weren’t allowed in schools at all. Half my teachers and fellow students were women, but that means nada if we all wanna die and the employees are treated as expendable trash.
@@ochaco_the_moon_watcher I hope you do well!
To a lot of parents, school is more important than anything else. What about our mental health?
SuperSaiyan 12 FOR REAL
Parents Do Care For Their Kids But The Fact That School Doesn't Give Two Shits And Making Parents Believe That Mental Health Isn't Even Important That Much Anymore All They Want Is For Us To Get Good Grades Yet Thats A Problem And They Can't Barely See through That.
@@user-yd2xc1yv8q
if you're having mental health problems, they do care, it's just that they can't exactly tell until you tell someone on the staff, usually the guidance counselor, or your parent tells somebody, also usually the guidance counselor.
@@revui5582 sadly, this isn't always true. When I was a student, my teachers always pushed us to complete our homework, our seatworks, quizzes, exams, etc. I tell them about how I suffered from depression, and how my brain isn't capable of memorization. They wouldn't believe me. I even had to retake an oral exam because of reciting every single one of the elements in the periodic table. And this was after I told them about my predicament. They didn't care at all.
I have not any mental healt, and it's all school fault, afterall I never had a friend in 11 school years and my schoolmates bulled me since elementar school... everything is just... shit. (sorry I needed to tell somebody ab that... and sorry: I'm italian and I dk very well the english language)
Storytime! (Not related to school but also just kinda wanted to get this out lol):
I remember when I first came out as asexual to my parents. I told them and came up with this whole thing about literally coming out of the closet, and after all of it, they just said, “Oh, no you aren’t.” This really stuck with me for a while but recently I went to my friend’s house and we were talking about it and all, and on the car ride home me and my sister were talking about being queer and such and my mom said to me, “You’re ace?” Or “You can’t be,” or something around those lines, and it took both me AND my sister being like, “no yeah, she’s asexual,” for our mom to finally get it in her head. Maybe it’s because “I’m too young” or they just don’t want to believe their bloodline is ending or something, but tbh they also traumatize me a lot so yeah (oh and sidenote: no they aren’t homophobic or transphobic or anything like that)
I had a very similar experience with my parents when I came out to my parents as ace. They got kinda mad. My brother accepted me but my parents still struggle with the thought
8 Years later, still a song with a message that holds.
I failed a pop quiz on history and the teacher decided to punish me by singing in front of the whole class, and I sang this! My teacher said nothing once I was done while some of my classmates were cheering XD BWAHAHAHAHAHA
+Astral Dream Student power has been released by this girl/boy!
Sounds like the best teacher ever!
YEAH!!!! Imma girl btw XD
+ViVi Ventus so I guess I should call you a she.
*salutes* You've done a very honorable and brave thing for students.
The sad part of this song that I just realized is that the end sounds exactly like the beginning, almost as if it will always continue as a cycle.
I never noticed that. That's actually really REALLY cool if it was intended. It adds another layer to the song.

My favorite line: Just open up your eyes, why don't you grow up and see. But what the hell is growing up and tell me when will I be.
“I feel every question I choose will always be false” - School putting stress on children at a young age, giving them anxiety feeling as they will always be wrong
“But what is growing up and tell me when will I be?” - Parents and Teachers are always telling us to “grow up”, but what does that really mean?
“Did we really choose it right saying we’re okay this way?” - Saying things like “I’m fine” and stuff, lying about our mental health and thoughts
“Can you even scream the dreams you swore would never go out?” - Usually, at a young age, kids say things like “I want to be a ___ when I grow up!”, and when we get older, you feel like you can never achieve such.
“Can you even find the one who let my dreams just curl up and die?” - same as the last one.
“It’s not like I care now” - Lying about feelings, not wanting to open up
this is just my analysis scree
Incoming Vent:
So I was getting ready for school when my mom decided to check my grades.(I had mostly A's 1B, and an F in art because my assignment had gotten lost and it was the biggest
assignment of the year) My mom went CRAZY about my F. I didn't see why she was so mad about my F when she didn't care about the A I had all year before that. She had constantly said she didn't care about my grade in art, so why was this making her so mad? It's like she didn't care when I did well, but she was always ready to attack well I messed up. She started yelling like CRAZY, keep in mind when it comes to my parents I'm overly sensitive about everything they say. If someone where to call me an idiot I wouldn't care, but if they were I'd take to heart. She was yelling so many offensive things that I just dont want to get into. I started crying, I kept crying all morning even when I entered school, usually I'd have cooled down, but I just couldn't there was so much negative energy I just needed to let out. I'm usually so live and and energetic around my friends, so when when they seen my crying they were shocked, they've known me for 3 years and I've never cried in front of them. They tried to comfort me, but it felt like I couldn't hear it. I spent the next 5 minutes crying before I stopped, though I was gloomy all day after that
Thanks for letting me vent, it felt good
this is so sad :( no parent should do this if they do they shouldn't even be called one they should atleast know what happened and why their child got a bad grade not just start screaming such harsh and cruel words to their own child without them saying what happened and why they did bad I hope u have good life ahead :) 😔❤️
THIS! People ignore children when they are excelling, but then hyper focus on when they mess up? It’s like throwing out everything in your fridge because one thing was broken. Don’t disregard accomplishments if you’re going to regard mistakes
Wtf? Parents have issues, this isn't healthy and is absolutely disgusting. I'm so sorry, and will always be here if you need to vent again or just talk to someone. Okay?
If it makes you feel better my mom gets mad at me for getting a C. ADHD does not help
@Candy the Cat That's rough I'm sorry..
Im gonna sing this at my school's show's audition
Not because i want to be in the show just to make the teachers who are judging to be guilty xD
best of Luck :DD
I've gotta see that xD
Good luck! Make them pay =)
Good luck wus wus
AND NOW WE'RE ONLY ALLOWED TO SING QUEEN'S SONGS
Just pulled on a thread on the algorithm that led me back to this song. A decade ago now, when I first heard it, it felt like finally someone had seen into what I was experiencing in my final years of high school, forcefully ripped those emotions out of my chest, and put them into musical form. Lost, abandoned, having to try to put together the pieces of "who am I?" without even the beginnings of the tools to do so, and no one around that I could really ask for help in doing so. I literally had to write an essay about my life story and I just wrote the most cliche narrative rather than anything that felt like me to me, because I had no idea of what was actually truly me back then, and no safe place to explore it or vent it. I felt trapped, hopeless, that it would be a shock if I made it to 20, let alone still be around come 30. "But what the hell is 'growing up,' and tell me when will I be?" This song was cathartic, a scream into the abyss.
And then, well, life happened, I rolled with the punches, sometimes better than others, and while I tried to keep track with this song as I hopped between music services, archives and devices, eventually it just kinda... got missed and faded. I'd still think about it sometimes, stumble on the backup I had on my computer that I no longer used for music listening, but never really got to properly re-experience it. But then today I tugged on that thread and wound up back here, and just got to feel it again. And... the song isn't staring into my very soul anymore. It's relatable, still, yes, but... I've grown up. I know who I am, I know what my dreams and goals are, I no longer wish to stop existing, I have things and people to live for. Hell, I even have a girlfriend now, something that 17 year old me thought was an unrealistic fantasy, falling in love again and having someone think I'm worthy of that love. I'm so much more in touch with my emotions than the me of a decade ago who tried to smother them because emotions seemed to lead to harm and pain, and... I can be happy. I can actually laugh honestly now.
I no longer hear this song and scream along with it. Instead, I hear it and I mourn. For the past me, who dealt with the weight of the world and crushing loneliness and inescapable failure, and for everyone else who also heard this song and felt seen. Because life shouldn't have to be that way, no one deserves to have to feel that way, no one should have to feel so broken, torn, and alone. But at the same time... I hear this song and I see how much I've grown in the past 10 years. I made it. I've done what I thought was impossible, and made it to the other side. I still struggle, no day is a cakewalk and I definitely have seasons where I regress back into the darkness and numbness. And this past decade has not been easy, by any means; the growth was slow and painful and disjointed. But for anyone who's made it this far in my weird rambling trip down memory lane (if anyone is even still reading), for anyone who still hears this song and needs to scream and rage alongside it, I know what it's like. I see you. But I also know it can get better. Scream, cry, let it out, feel the emotion and let it light a fire in you. Tell that fire "I am the master of my fate" and *choose* who you will grow up as, what values you will live and what virtues you will exemplify. It's not easy, but I know you can make it. You're stubborn, and you're stronger than you know. Your story is nonfiction, but you get to write it yourself, page by page.
thanks dude, proud of you
I came back to this cover several years later, the first time i listened to it i really didn't understand it but now that i'm back here it's honestly so relatable to listen to, but I'd just like to point out the INCREDIBLE vocal work from Juby, to be honest it's as amazing as a cover like this can get, hell she has even better work and that says a lot! so i congratulate you for your progress.
My friends said okay to the teacher and got in trouble
Another student was choking and the teacher assumed it was them playing
Lord....
One time my friend was sitting against the wall with some other kids not participating in gym, and she was crying. (She has bad anxiety) and the teacher took a picture of them. I really hate my school. (I would've helped but I was in a different class ;-;)
@@redbread6219 what a b## that teacher is

I remember listening to this at age 10 and relating to this a bit too much, it’s surprising how much my mental health has improved since im homeschooled. I’m actually scared to go back next year
"Just tell me how, it's not like I care now!" Is probably my favorite line from this song. The entire song is relatable, but I often find myself just forgetting things I learn in school, especially things related to English, like writing. I forget it, because I don't really care.
Hey kids remember:
-Your feelings matter
-YOU matter
-You're not a failure, no matter what your parents, peers or teachers say. Failing is an act that happens to everyone, on both small scales and massive ones, not a personality
-You're not a mistake either
-You're not broken, the system is
-If you're struggling extremely badly with focusing, organization, and completing things on time, even if you know the material, it means you might have an undiagnosed neurodivergency or another condition. (Depression can also cause similar symptoms.) It does NOT mean you're a failure or stupid.
-*The system is broken. You are not.*
-This suffering ends.
-The pain ends.
-There is a light at the end of tunnel
-There is hope.
-This gets better. You have a future. Things change, and for better or worse, but things change.
-*There is hope*
@Charlotte Melendy *The majority of the human race _makes_ mistakes. There are bad and stupid people everywhere. But that doesn't mean they are the majority- the majority sometimes listen to these bad people, but ultimately do not want to cause harm. Most people are just kind of... selfish, and can't see beyond themselves. But no one _wants_ to be bad. Most are just...well...stupid. And can be manipulated by genuinely bad people, and even people who try their hardest to be good make mistakes.
But there's still good in this world. And there is still good in humanity- we wouldn't have survived this long if there wasn't. There's still people who try, people who are willing to learn, however impossible they seem to find. I promise.
@@WanderingWisp9526 Hey, It's okay. Really. Creating- in any form, at any quality- is an incredible, beautiful thing. If you can't bear to keep what you create, just fold it up, gently, and throw it away. Every time you do whatever it is, you get a little bit better at it. Even if you can't see the change. And if you can? Keep it. Even if it's shitty as hell. You'll feel better for it.
I hope your having a good day too
@Charlotte Melendy yeet

Except this song is screaming emotions. You're crying silently.
The only thing good about these sad songs is that it let's you know you are not the only one suffering so yeah you are not alone no matter how many sad songs you listen to ( Am I right? )
School is Something WE always wanted to do, but parents ruin the fun saying "oh you should just do your homework, its not that hard or anything"
........
And i swear, i just wanna say "if you think its easy to solve a question, then what will you feel if you were treated like this by your parents? bad right? then give me some time and i'll be happy doing school work."
then again, nobody even cares about you, only your Intelligence and thats about it.

I'm glad they got the recognition they deserve, Juby deserves 1 mil subscribers and more!
It is just me or is school starting to get too far? Like, teachers don't give a frick about their student's mental health. My brother doesnt do anything but study and do homework when he comes back from school. He never comes out from his room unless he wants to eat a snack. Sometimes I check on him and he looks like his about to cry. And the school system says "everythings fine." I'm a bit happy my math teacher doesnt pressure us a lot and he makes us laugh, but the thing is, one minute his all happy and making us laugh the next minute he screams at us for making pen noises from clicking on ACCIDENT. All my teachers make my classmates stressed and I can actually tell. Some of my classmates sleeping, some stressed as hell trying to do a question which isnt supposed to be taught at our age, some actually crying. And all teachers will tell their students, "You guys will fail if you don't get on track."
Do teachers get that they're driving their students crazy? My friend who sits in front of me can't see the board anymore since she has been studying alot until her eyes are sore. Teachers act shock when they find out one of their students commited suicide but they really don't care. The School system is making us pay money just so that we can go crazy until we kill ourselves. On top of that, we have our parents who give us pressure too. My father keeps on saying, " Do well or I'll not be happy. " They spend money not only on school but on practice papers too. I really feel like every kid shouldnt go through this... Even kids at 6 or 7 feels this.. Imagine, seeing your cheerful and adorable kid starting to be distant and angry with you...
Anyways this is what I wanna say.
Every student out there, dont worry about how you look or how people think of you. Your Unique and Beautiful! Stay in there
Wish I can go back in third grade and tell myself that “you don’t need to change yourself to fit in with others just be yourself” but it’s too late now. I’m going into sixth grade this year and I’m not happy about it. But I’ve changed myself so much over the past three years to feel like I can fit in with others. And now look at me I’m in the sonic fandom and also in many other fandom‘s, and a Simp. I really shouldn’t have done what I did three years ago. She becoming even weirder than I was. But being weird is normal so yeah. Oh what I ask and emotionally scarred and fourth grade yeah that was in a get a year for me either.
School is like jumping into a puddle, it is fun.... at first but than you are in a wet mess and the puddle cause a thunderstorm. Then near the end of the year it is a hurricane, then summer comes and there is a wave a relief after the hurricane. Repeat until done with highschool/college
And then after you finish, teh cycle starts again with work and jobs

Hi. His name is sparky sparky boom boom
Sitting here crying while listening to this for the first time in a while. This is truly the gifted kid burnout song. I was marked a gifted child and had it drilled into my head early on that if I made mistakes or asked questions, it meant I was a failure. Gifted kids were held up to the expectation of being perfect students who never needed input from teachers. Now I'm sitting here in college failing more classes than I can count and too scared to reach for help because of the perfectionist mindset I was forced into. And yet here I am studying to be a teacher because I wasted so much of my childhood on school that I have no life outside of it.
The school system fucked me up.
Literally my school never accommodated me back then, and it still doesn’t now. I never got a chance to calm down when I was overwhelmed, snd when I had a mental breakdown, I was punished for being a crybaby. I eventually learned to just mask my emotions, which I now do on a daily basis, even out of school, finding it super fucking hard to cry when Im upset. I never learned in a way that was easy for me, being a neurodivergent person (ADHD) and had to learn the way neurotypical people learned. My high school has these award ceremonies for the top ten smartest of our grade. It was all neurotypical people, which I already knew was going to happen. What made me the most upset was this comment the principal made. “We know how hard each and everyone of your lifes are. But the fact that you could put that aside to do your work is amazing.” That shit pissed me off. Some kids just cant ‘put it aside’ and its fucked that you basically punish them for doing so. School for me is like a ranking. The ‘dumb’ students at the bottom, getting no positive recognition, and the ‘smart’ students at the top, being put on a pedistal, as well as being pressured to do good and keep the facade up. The truth is, all students are smart, just in completely different ways. Each person has an interesting thing to say. The system just refuses to acknowledge it. Fuck the school system.
I agree whole-heartedly.
A friend of mine got sucked up by expectations when we were in 8th and broke down during class. In 10th now. I know he's smart. He's good at stuff. Maybe getting marks isn't one of them, but why the fuck does that matter so much if he tried so hard?

When I first heard this, I was like: whoa I relate.
Now that I'm a sophomore in highschool, I REALLY RELATE, WHOA!
School is all about memorizing, testing, repeat. If you don't memorize something, you're forced to redo the same thing over and over again. Sometimes I wonder if I'd do better dropping out, but drop outs barely make it anywhere...

Off-topic: I would like this but it’s at 69 likes and I don’t want to ruin that
