i hate the american dream

[dirty_canadian4894]

ok guys im not sure if my titles appropriate for this post but here goes. i dont agree with life . my mom *****es about how i dont get up in the morning but why would i want to get up in the morning when all that im gonna do is eat breakfast and go to school and listen to old people ***** at me about meaningless crap for 7 hours and then go straight to work for 6 hours and then go home and go to sleep then i repeat this everyday. lifes just a meaningless cycle, on days that i dont have to work i might go to a friends house and hang out and that gets boring. after highschool il go to college and learn more meaningless junk than il get a full time job and work everyday to support a family and do meaningless family trips and activities.

im one of those kids that does great on standardized tests and im bored in school but when it comes to daily work i sometimes dont do it and it is really boring sitting there in class doing the same things over and over again. last year i had some pretty bad grades and this year im trying to do my work and get good grades just to please my parents and keep my insurance cheaper but it is already(schools been on for amonth) getting hard for me to do my work as its just meaningless crap and i hate doing it. today i had my first late assignment all year and somehow the teacher emailed my mom telling her that im falling behind and she got all pissed off at me because im "lazy, and dont care about anyone but myself" and i cant take it when she gets mad that i dont do good in school my god damn mind doesnt work the same as everyone elses i cant help it that i dont get good grades or do all my work. i guess what im trying to say is; i hate the way they make us all do the same **** even tho not everyne is the same ive taken internet IQ tests and i always score in the 150's and almost everyday i design a new paintball gun or invent something new im always looking for new things to learn and i probably learn more than most of the people that get good grades in school but i just cant do all of my daily work.

i hate how everyone always tells you that in order to have a good life you have to go to college and then get a full time job and raise a family but i really dont want to go to college or do anyof that crap its just not for me

flame away at anything you dont like sorry about the bad grammar and lack of periods.

I thought the same way once. The secret to life is to take pride in whatever you are doing. Thats sounds clicheed as hell, but its true. 99.999999% of the people on the planet will spend their life doing something they don't want to be doing. If not all the time, at least some of the time. Take pride in everything, and nothing seems meaningless.

I don't know why but after reading your post I have this sudden urge to watch Fight Club or Office Space...

You should join a gifted and talented class. It's what I did, school doesn't bother me so much any more. I'm not trying to be a dick, I totally understand how you feel and all, but life isn't fun all of the time. Just deal with it. Usually when you spend most of your life in a crappy way, the rest turns out good. Most jobs are repetitive like school too. Just gotta learn to put up with it. Find a new hobby or something.

i hated the typical response from my parents. graduate high school, go to college, get your degree, get a good job, get married, have kids, retire, die, blah blah blah

and well being the stubborn *** i am, i didnt do it. i did graduate high school. nevedr took SATs ACTs or anything else. partied hard for 5 or 6 years, then after i was done with that i went to tech school(Cochise Aviation....shameless plug). now i work for the department of defense as a GS-11 working as a UAV mechanic. my paretns were pissed off at me for a while, but i wasnt ready to go into real life yet. i waited till i felt i was ready, even though they really didnt approve. im not saying your paretns dont know what they ar talking about, listen to them, but at the same time do what you feel is right for you.,

Don't take this as a flame... cause I think I have played with the alternatives before.

A good job, is an end to a means - good pay to enjoy what you want. There are people who would rather seek adventure. Look at jobs such as guiding (mountain climbing, rafting, etc.), fishing (my understanding is the Alaskan vessels are a serious adrenaline rush), cowboy (yeh, the theory still exists), the military (though this is most structured) and other "non standard" type jobs. Find one that fits you by all means. Do it, tell yourself for a year, for two, for five. Have fun, enjoy life. When your done, decide what you want to do. But understand, to keep your options open, you need decent grades now.

This going from HS to college to career and family, I think causes a lot of the marital problems in America today. You need some time, a few years to be free, to have fun, to enjoy life. Take it, you will be glad you did, and do better at College for it. Need to sell it to your parents - once your a certain age, and proven independent your parents income no longer counts towards financial aid, or you may have saved up your own money. You will not have shut doors down as for College, if you decide that is what you want.

Take the time to be immature (I mean that). To have fun, to walk the Apalachian trail should you decide (its worth doing),. Create those memories, do what you want, be that person you want... and then settle down. Youre life will be happier for it, you will be, and I think you will be a better person, with less regrets when your done.

Stop whining.

Sometimes I feel like I am Peter Gibbons from Office Space. I can totally relate to you man, I really can.

[BrockSampson]

Got any cheese to go with that whine?
My advice is to drop out of school and move to another country. Just not Canada or Mexico, since they're close and it would be too easy for you to come back.

[Steelrat]

There are places in this world where parents mutilate their own children to make them more effective beggars, and you have the gall to whine and cry because you have to go to school? What a waste. I wish to god one of those poor kids who dies of starvation or violence in some third world country could take your place.

Stop whining, and figure out what you want to do. I don't care how smart you think you are, you have to go out and earn a living just like everyone else. Momma isnt going to be there forever to support you while you take IQ tests and design paintball guns. Please, get over yourself, and grow up.

[oldsoldier]

Get yourself a meaningless, dead end job, and work towards a goal. Me, I have plenty of disposable cash, and a job I like. I only have a 2 yr degree, and not in the discipline I work in. But, I make good money. You are responsible for your life. So, do whatever you want. But, remember, the consequences are your own.
And, you may THINK you are smart...but, well, idiots brag about how much better they are than everyone else. Keep that in mind.

[dirty_canadian4894]

this is gonna sound really selfish but i realy could care less about kids in third world countries because ive never had to expeirience that or known any one that experienced that. the only thing my mom has paid for of mine is housing costs. because i almost always eat somewhare else and she definatly hasntsnt bought me any thing in the last six months. i just dont see why we all have to go threw this ***** to have a "good" life.

[RTDynaflow]

You don't. YOu can beat yourself in the head with a 2x4 untill you are mentally retarded. Have you noticed the special people are always smiling?

Seriously, high school sucks so much *edited words go here* it is unbelievable. You need to look at everything you have and rethink the entire attitude. It will get better. You need to look inside and find what makes you happy. Sounds rather ghey, but it is the truth. No matter how much money, how much fame, how much etc you have, you will never truelly enjoy life untill you learn to enjoy life. <---- Yeah you know what I mean. Atleast I know what I mean

There is so much more then money and a good job and the perfect wife... Do you what makes me happy? When I feel complete bliss? It is the moment that ball hits me, you feel the sting and taste the paint, but somehow it reminds you how great you have it. You will get over your self loathing Why does life suck attitude. I did. Find what makes you feel alive. Do it and everything will start to fall into perspective.

Or maybe it is just me and I am crazy. Who knows.

PS take a real IQ tests. Result will vary...
