some thoughts about the school system

[lith1um]

school is killing me. indeed it has killed me already. because of bad marks, the constant judgment of my teachers, the fear of being inferior, I developed my suicidal tendencies. because of this constant pressure now a once happy and extroverted teenager wants to take his own life, and nobody does anything. no one is going to act or help me, no one cares about my mental health. I'm becoming more and more anarchic, more and more inclined to hate institutions. I'm tired, tired of this constant pressure and of people who underestimate the problem of school. there is nothing to underestimate. my life is at stake here. i will probably kill myself soon, and no one ever did anything.

How long do you have left in school? How old are you?

School was the highest pressure time and indeed things did get much better once I left. If school is what is causing your issues, can you wait and see what life is like afterwards?

Schools are brainwashing academies filled with toxicity from kids and teachers alike.
The only purpose of schools is to steal your childhood and prepare you for a life of wage slavery.
Sorry you are going through this. School is hell for sure.

I agree. Speaking of anarchic:



But there's generally ways to escape

Schools certainly are horrible places designed to make people suffer, it sounds so awful and tiring what you have to endure, I understand why this would make you want to ctb even more. But anyway I wish you the best.

Word. Day care centres, preparing replacements for the productive zombies. I did not learn anything useful there in twelve years, except read and write, but got traumatized for life.

That's true, school should not be compulsory, there should be alternatives, like personal tutoring. Sorry you're going through this and that others are not taking it seriously.

Maybe there's a way to leave earlier for vocational training? Look into these options and try to find a therapist to talk to if you're overwhelmed, even if they aren't very helpful - at least it's an outlet.

Schools in the USA are a sorting mill. They use Google Chromebooks to see which kids are smart and advance them. If you are not smart, well enjoy manual labor.

yeah especially around highschool. college applications only get more and more competative and if you dont have at least a 3.8 gpa, you wont have a good chance for competitve majors at competative schools. It also sucks that your forced to choose a career at such a young age despite having little to no life and/or job experience. But besides that wages will only continue to stagnate unless you brown nose your way for promotions.
