Raphael Rodriguez eh, a lot of people who come out of my high school weather they fail or not sell drugs lol. Don’t ask... why I know... ok... a lot of people in Hawaii sell drugs too ok. Edit: well sell or do drugs...
There's a girl on UA-cam who's in HS who I want to take on a date. She just hit the legal dating age in both of our states and she lives an hour away from me in CT. Her name is Charli.
Some ppl don't realize that when someone say that they'll miss high school, they don't mean that you'll miss GOING to high school and taking classes, but rather that period of your life that you didn't had bills to pay, work to go, and everything in between, all you had to do was go to school and make minimum effort to get a decent grade and that's it, that was all responsibility you had.
High School is where you force as much concentrated cringe out of your personality as possible until you're too old and the cringe baseline has been set.
Omg I hope so- I’ve literally said so many embarrassing things and have been so embarrassingly loud without thinking and I hope that doesn’t continue on after I graduate highschool 😭
I'm 27 this content is great. Jakey has a thing for nostalgia. I guarantee everyone under 30 knows and identify with what Jakey is saying here. That's a shotgun spread of a target demographic.
The horse girl is no joke. Had one at almost every high school I went to (rural Wisconsin). One was named Misty. She was a horse girl. Looked into her profile and she is doing great, she helps run her families horse mating business or something. We all sorta laughed at her in highschool but nowadays she has her own house in her early twenties. Who's neighing now?
Oh yeah, every horse girl I knew in grade school grew up to actually do stuff with horses as an adult: trainer, vet, breeder, etc. They become the adults helping the next generation of horse girls succeed in life. If I could go back in life to like middle school, I'd go down the horse girl path, seems like the most solid career path that exists.
i was so miserable all throughout high school, i couldn't bring myself to engage w my peers and it sucked. i wish i could've experienced the typical teenager stuff like having a big group of friends and goin to parties. its what i always dreamed when i was goin thru my shitty childhood and it hurts knowing that life didnt actually get any better when i got older like i thought it would as a kid
I don't even have the motivation to do any missing assignments (which some of them was complete bs) and my parents always keep nagging me about fucking homework missing work grades Why Does It Still Matter To You People!
when i graduated all of my classmates were crying and i just stood there feeling so fucking happy that it was finally over. it's not like i didn't have any friends or didn't enjoy my classes, i just fucking hated being trapped in there with a bunch of people who didn't understand me at all with a schedule that fucked me up
Lol, I kinda understanding crying because you’ll miss your favorite teachers. But at the same time, like ya’ll finally free, don’t cry because it’s over, smile because 12+ years of learning useless knowledge is over.
I remember when I graduated last year, I had moved to a new school the same year COVID started, so I didnt had time to actually meet my classmate, but I wasnt really expecting anything. The year before that was the worst year of my entire life and I wasnt really looking forward for two more years of high school. Honestly, I should thank COVID for freeing me from that. Didnt went to prom, didnt cared about anything, I got my grades, saw that I had passed on everything (obviously I had, I had been cheating on tests online for two years), then I just laid on my bed, I thanked that it was over.
Fuuucking same. I shaved my head right after high school which I never would've done in high school, just because of the looks I would get. Now I do many things without worrying so much all the time.
Every time I see someone from high school all those old pressures come back, and I think like “what person am I supposed to be around them again? Oh god I hope this is right”. Just the worst feeling
Same though. I never really figured out what kind of person I was until I had graduated. Now I'm kinda upset I didnt figure it out earlier cause I kept switching from trying to be like everyone else and myself and ended up in this odd area where I was neither.
Facts, I literally went to a college prep high school, and that high school did not help what so ever, ur telling me I gotta study for all these exams without a study guide? What’s up with these 4 1000 word writing assignments due at the end of the week? Wait I don’t get free time?, what are these giant books that I have to read and take notes on (I’m in my 3rd semester and any college classes that require big books I struggle or fail in I was never taught how to tackle them, take notes on the whole book or what?) yea high school is a joke in preparing for college.
@@TriableChain552 Don’t you guys have some documents from the previous students that took those classes? One of my major tackles thick books, but we have some scripts from our seniors and its a big help. Of course I still read a part of what I have to read, but having it all written down as notes is easier

High school is like a super long prologue in a jrpg. You HAVE to do it, but once it's over the hometown is gonna burn to the ground, monsters are gonna return to the overworld, and you're gonna have to go on an adventure to defeat the demonlord. But that shits just sprung on you. At no point in your life does anyone give you the proper training or education to defeat the demon lord. They just assume you'll figure it out on your own when you have to. I'm not sure this metaphor works
That just means I have to learn all the things I need in order to defeat the demon lord myself... while trying to defeat the demon lord. And I don't know if I should giggle myself stupid or fall headfirst into another existential crises over that analogy.
I remember in my 10th grade financial literacy class we asked “hey can you teach us how to do our taxes” and the teacher said “that’s not what this class is about and it’s not important”. I then found out in senior year that the other financial literacy teacher was asked the same thing and was just like “yeah sure” and taught them. I’ve never not been mad about that
@D. Rather My dude, I don't know what college you went to but most colleges don't teach you about taxes, at least in my country, plus not everyone gets to go to college. Kids need to learn this shit in school, it's basic life stuff. Also nice pun Jackass, it's not like I've heard that shit a million times over
My life got way better after high school. I left my town, met some amazing people, had experiences that I could not do as a teenager, and had more freedom.
@@leetun444It is what you make it to be. I graduated in May but I’m learning that pretty quick. The freedom that comes with being an adult also means shit isn’t just gonna come to you, you gotta work for it. If you put the effort in it will completely change your view on life. High school literally does not matter at the end of the day, at least for me.
I actually did learn about pigeon’s freak bodies, during my AP computer science class, there was a poster that read “Somedays you’re the statue, and other days you’re the pigeon” and that’s all I remember from that class.
As someone who was a senior when COVID hit in March, meaning that all my extracurriculars were cancelled, I did exclusively online school, prom was cancelled, and I graduated sitting on my couch at home, let me tell you all this: High school doesn't matter. The memories may be important, but do not let it become your life. Seniors who let themselves have high school be their identity fell apart during the last quarter of our year. They felt listless not being the popular kids anymore. They didn't know what to do. It's just school. You will get through it, and you will find yourself being happier when you graduate. Don't let mediocre teens tell you how you should feel, act, and be. Just be yourself. Focus on your education. Have fun with your friends. You can do this.
I’m 25 and I only now realize how small this chapter in our lives is.. I’ve been thinking about it the whole week. I relate to high school me as much as I relate to 10 year old me; she’s a tiny, primitive, old version. You’re still so young until at the very least 30. So happy I didn’t peak in HS. I feel like my life is only starting now.
the only reason teenagers think highschool is this cool place where everything matters is because adults in their midlife crisis keep making romanticized movie versions of it
honestly, I only realized how miserable I was in high school when I reached college. I could study the classes I want, make my own schedule, and make tons of friends cause most people don't cause about your money and gpa in college. Took getting out of the public education system for me to get over my depression and feel like I mattered, who'd a thought? 🤷🏻♀️
Me i dropped out because the second i entered high school i knew it was all useless, like literally only a stupid ass person would realize that until they finished high school to figure that out.i mean like c'mon, i don't give a crap about Shakespeare.
my experience was oppiite of yours lol high school was the bomb eventhough i was nerdy loser. college was just stress and depression and i might of made like 1 friend shit sucked major ass and was pointless lol
@@Udontkno7 wrong I'm more happier now than i was in school,j get more time to be with my family, i don't have to worry about any assignments,and all the stress about school is gone,I'm 22 now so i work and everything,but to be honest i don't regret getting out. school won't make you happy or successful ,that you can find inside of you
I want to connect to this guy's speakers to blast Prince's "Soft and Wet". He blasts emo rap music all the time and it's so annoying, gotta do it to him.
Unfortunately there are adults who still never can let go their high school phase . AKA the people that peeked in high school and are still mentally there
Closest I've come to that is taking a test on the floor of a giant convention showcase room, without decorations for maximum space. EVERYONE heard me humming One Winged Angel thanks to the incredible acoustics. Ironic, it was at a Latin convention, too.
I disagree a little bit on the "your classes don't matter" argument because a huge part of the value of science, math, history, etc is that they expose you to new concepts and career paths you otherwise might not consider. That said, making 17 year olds decide their career path and then shaming them when they inevitably change their mind a month into college is terrible and also there should absolutely be classes in high school that teach you applicable life skills like taxes.
I agree! I think high school is definitely lacking in its life skills and career education, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t important to develop a baseline understanding of different academic subjects, regardless of whether you’ll use it in the future. It’s more about rounding out your worldview as a well-educated citizen. If all high school did was teach us the bare minimum needed to function in society, it would be pretty awful education. I hope going forward, schools can not only continue teaching the variety of subjects they now teach, but expand their options further, allowing students to explore a wider variety of fields and interests.
Oh but learning maths through funny examples like a dude buying 100 potatoes will not help me do taxes! School bad! Its like, they assume that that kid knows what career to take 10 years in the future. Like, among a class of 30 or whatever, _one_ kid will go on to be a biologist/doctor/researcher, and since _he_ has to know that the mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, then _everyone_ has to know it. "Oh but i knew from my childhood that i wanted to be a software engineer why do i need chemistry aaaaaaaaa" just shut up please
Everyone kept telling me when I was in high school "you will miss it when your gone!" or "its the best years of your life!" Graduated 3 years ago and I can tell you right now highschool was the biggest waste of fucking time thus far. I have applied very little of what I learned into ANYTHING, I've had to figure it all out myself.
@@Camio_Lotus Yeah, It's like you're an adult, but also at the same time you're not. I fucking miss that feeling of being a freshman, but I wouldn't want to relive that shit ever again, the school part, but the meeting new people part, fucking awesome, but also kinda anticlimactic considering the retrospection...
That shouldnt make you more depressed it should make you want to stop wallowing in your own self pity so that in the future when you look back to now you don't feel the same way. Obviously its not just that easy but one step at a time.

The lack of self awareness rn is astounding. Cuz now you’re wasting _today_ being depressed and self anxious. I have depression, too, man, but take my comment as a wakeup call. Listen to Good Old Days by Macklemore (I know stfu and give this one a try; trust me, you need it) and Kesha
Until you all leave for college and say your gonna keep in touch, but you never do. Then all your homies are either getting married or having kids, and buying houses, and getting better jobs and subsequently not having time to hang out.
Agreed. I've managed to keep the same group of friends since elementary school despite most of us going off to separate colleges. It's entirely possible if you make the effort to keep in touch.
Now that I’m in college, I realize that high school is a scam and that no one cares how many AP credits you got or how fast you’re growing through life. Everyone goes at their own pace.
Exactly. I chose not to do honors because I knew nobody would give a damn because all that matters is your gpa, act, and sat scores. I have a 3.8 gpa and my friend has a 3.4 but she takes honors so for me to see that I realize I dodged a bullet
@@Ja1dyn_’d have to agree, if you’re not looking for some glamorous hi-end job, honors not worth it and why I’m not signing up for more work in college, I’ve already worked hard enough :P
Hell even college is if you don’t know what you’re doing. I took 2 years of business and learned basically nothing because it was all common sense or had to be learned through experience
I was in class with a guy who would use his “im enlisting after high school so you owe me sex” on half the girls. Even freshmen. He entered the reserves and delivers pizza now it’s been 5 years
I actually took my high schools “senior financial algebra” class instead of taking calculus (I had kinda self taught myself my junior year for physics) and it was all about doing taxes, fanatical planning, how to read a gas meter for some fucking reason but it was the only class ever to prepare me for the real world, and now I work for Disney in a completely manufactured one!
"The things that mattered from high school are the friends and memories you've made" I came in expecting to be uplifted from my miserable high school experience and instead now I am even more sad.
Same. Haven't had really any friends since 6th grade when my best friend turned on me. My 2 old friends turned they're backs on me and I have only 1 friend.
@@inamasschelein6541 Keep the faith. Once you're out of high school, you can start a new life. Ever heard of Elon Musk? He was bullied his entire life, and then by the time he was almost 30, he became a millionare. And now he is a billionare.
If I can give advice to anyone in high school now as an adult, try to learn some interesting skill. Pick up an instrument, learn to code, get fluent in another language, etc. You may not have the time and energy to do it as an adult so you'll be thankful you did as a kid. Esp bc it'll make you a more interesting person when you quickly reach an age that genetics and puberty don't matter as much as who you are as an individual. **Edit:** Glad this was good advice to some! I spent a decent amount of time in HS learning guitar and songwriting and I'm glad I have that skill today bc it really expanded much of my personal and social life, so I hope you find your thing
Thank you, I've been stressed like what I want to do in life n idk what but now that I think about it. I got all the time in the world and I will learn
This is why I’m soooo happy I matured and had reality checks in my life early on. Like I know if I had a normal life everyone else usually has I would’ve just been a different person.
The frustrating part is to KNOW that I only went to school to go to university and that I am only going to university because the field I want to work in requires a master and quite frankly I have spent 14 years of my life with NOTHING important at all which I will have to do for another four years and my actual "life" hasn't even started yet... WTF.
That's how education works buddy. I am a neuroscience student and I used the last 3 and half years to get a degree in biotechs, it or biology being a prerequisite for this master I am currently in, and more than half the courses were useless to my objective. BUT learning more can't be bad. That's why school to begin with is structured like this. Sure, knowing a bit more about biochemistry and less about general chemistry would have helped me, but most people aren't sure about what they want to do with their lives, having education systems provide a general knowledge help them. Hell, it's from when I started university that I wanted to go on the path I am but even so I had doubts and almost changed my studies. Just like for the general student learning about the powerhouse of the Cell won't be important but won't harm them, the same applies for your secondary knowledge.
@@Hyperversum3 I study politics with a focus on international relationships in Europe. Now, as you maybe know the general field of politics, like nearly all basic humanitarian scientific fields, is pretty wide so career opportunities can vary drastically - most people earn jack shit because they don't have a plan in this field but not only in that regard, I am a very special snowflake. I was sure pretty early on of what I wanted to do, I know myself very well and planned all of this out very carefully. I knew that I wanted to study, I knew that I wouldn't want much to do with stem, I came to the conclusion that I could do something with law, economics with a focus on the Chinese market or politics, I chose the latter as the relationships with China turned even sourer and as I noticed quickly that while I enjoy law, I didn't want to spend my life with it, so eventually I made the correct choice and picked something I just like to concern myself with and figured out the best way to eventually make money in the field - not because I want to get rich, again, I deliberately didn't pick law. Now, I am still studying and I don't know how the market will be in 4 years when I first really enter it but sadly, I lack an interest in something more practical so I made the best out of my talents. Regardless I still had to waste years of my educational life with stuff that wasn't even reasonably helpful or in any way justifiable from my personal perspective. I mean that in a pretty severe manner, I sat in my class, I learned and I haven't used most this knowledge ever since nor will I ever have to use most of it - fine, let's say that languages were useful, the basics were, of course, necessary and then I have like everybody some subjects which I genuinely liked. Still doesn't change the fact I planned out my humble current gamble with the knowledge I almost exclusively picked up outside of the education system while preparing for the finals which I concluded without much effort and I don't mean that as a brag but as an accusation. It was laughably easy. Like, the stuff that was difficult was my only (required) Stem subject. I know don't have all the answers, it’s just that I understand "how education works" for me and I am saying that the system we apply can be highly ineffective and was partly designed literal decades ago, remained almost unchanged in many school systems on the planet and that THAT is a problem for me. I know that it helps people to have a wide education but here is the thing - I don't care about others so much that I am willing to sacrifice YEARS of my youth for their lack of self-understanding. I still do not wish for them to make premature decisions, but you get my point stranger. That's not supposed to sound arrogant or like an asshole; I am just frustrated because unlike most people as it seems to me; I had the thought that none of this matters with 12 and not with 20. I wasn't super bright or super gifted but I had the luxury of time. Society is built by us cooperating and I know that people like to say that the lowest plank is the weakest part of the barrel but its 2020, better concepts could be implemented and quite frankly I study politics at least in part because I KNOW that essential things in my nation are going wrong and nothing has been done about it in years. For the general student, having better-paid teachers who can and want to afford more time for them and their problems would have been a good start. Why I say all this with such with confidence? Because I had good teachers, I was good ( not outstanding in any way but I aced what I had to without much effort ) at school, I enjoyed my time there for all the wrong reasons and I STILL say that it was a huge waste of time regardless. It's just... I don't have so long. In 20 years I will be forty. In 40 years, 60, in 60 years I will be 80 years old. And I still have so much I want to do. Life is short if you have plans. And I am afraid. Do you know what life is? I don't. But I remember a quote from a video of an old soldier about what death is I watched 5 years ago. "Once you realize they are gone, they're dead, then what death looks like, is nothing. There's nothing there. There's a body there but there's nothing at all. It goes from something, a big something to the smallest nothing that there can be. It goes from dreams and aspirations to nothing. You know, you can kick it, you can hit it with a stick, you can throw rocks on it, you can do anything and it won't bother, 'cause it's dead." ua-cam.com/video/GxSR1VgVAUk/v-deo.html at 2:55 min I am terrified of dying. So incredibly afraid. I can't afford to waste my time with things I don't do for me, for my loved ones, for my small insignificant world because I have no god, no afterlife, no nothing, this is it, this small worthless life that can be snuffed out with one moment of carelessness. Nearly the entire world won't miss me when I am gone. I once loved a girl and for one sweet day in a fall a long time ago, I wasn't afraid of death. It was the single best moment of my life. That's why I want to learn what I need. That's why in regards to things that concern me, I don't compromise. I can't. I would hate me forever if I did, I couldn't live like that and because life has no reset button, no second chances I have to forge my small story. You will have forgotten about me by tomorrow. And that's ok. C'est la vie. The greatest gift there is. „Summae opes inopia cupiditatum.” - "He is richest who is poorest in his desires." Lucius Annaeus Seneca He was probably right in more ways than I would like to admit. Life well stranger. Good luck to you.
the best thing about high school is that my pure hatred for it made me rekindle friendships after high school with some people that are now my closest friends
I’m too much of a pussy to contact anyone I went to school with. I was really fucking weird growing up and turns out it was legitimately autism. I want to apologise to a couple of people for the way I acted but I feel like they won’t give a shit. :(
Additional Pylons try it man, you never know! I did it and it was honestly the scariest thing cause I felt it would be like that but it turned out to be the best choice I made
I’m glad I saw this video. I graduated earlier this year, and I remember feeling extremely empty after graduating. I didn’t have those crazy party stories. Or any stories really. Hell I was a band kid, the coolest part of my week was Friday night games. Then covid hit during my sophomore year and it really went further downhill. I was terrible at online school. And it that wasn’t bad- I ended up transferring my senior year and spent it as the new kid. Which was hell on earth. I went to prom with strangers and felt no joy walking across that stage. Tl;dr Don’t let people make you feel bad for not having “the teenage dream” it’s a myth that most kids don’t really experience.
i actually do say thank god the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell every time i order a coffee. bold of you to assume i didn’t learn anything at high school i learnt one thing
Looking back at my Highschool days just make me feel like shit. Currently I really have no good friends and I’m clinging on to one I hate just because I have no one else. It’s almost been two years now and I still can’t figure out what direction I want to go in life. I think the last really good year I had was in seventh grade and that scares me.
I remember going school with Jakey. First time I seen him I felt like I was staring at the sun, he was so beautiful. I think he said something stupid but cute like "Nice shoes" It started off sweet, like most high school relationships: Kissing during lunch time, hugging in the bathroom, touching each other (in naughty places) I was younger then, but I really felt like I loved him. The way he would blurt out silly compliments like "I like your hair" "I like your shoes" blah blah. When I was with him I never felt judged and he made me feel loved. While the other kids called me "The creepy janitor who looks like Jack Nicholson" he simply called me "Keith"

@@laatma985 That's not a realistic perception of reality my guy. The high schoolers "having the time of their life" aren't with legitimate friends that they'll be able to confide in forever. All of it is superficial and shallow, well most of it.
Tbh the only good thing about high school is friends so make sure to have a good time and go to some parties. Yes 99 percent of people you meet there you won't ever talk to again but still
@@unoriginalyoutubename8761 Still better than being an autistic shut in with no friend though. Socializing is really the only redeeming thing about those years.
One of my friends in freshman year of High school just disappeared one day. Two years ago about 4 years after everyone lost contact with him he shot and murdered someone over a drug dispute. Crazy shit folks
Good things about high school: - Socialization, learning that you'll always get stuck with a dead weight pos whether it's work or college. That's about it.
nope. ash Nah, HS failed with that. Made me feel 10x lonelier since I had to be forced around other people that had friends, in turn making me jealous and feel like a POS for not having any friends. But in college, when the class is done, I’m out of there, I ain’t sticking around for that shit. I’m heading back home.
i'll be honest, I graduated 2 years ago and forgot literally everyone IMMEDIATELY. like, I wasn't good with names to begin with, but man. I guess my only regret was being too isolated to try new things and make more conversations with people I saw in the halls.
I was pretty social in high school. I made a point to try and spend time with literally hundreds of people that I met throughout middle and high school between sports and my shitty home life. Surprisingly, I have only had a handful of friendships that have lasted the 7 years since we've all graduated. Once in a while I'll run into a classmate who I haven't seen since literally graduation day and we kind of just smile at each other from across the way but we aren't really involved in each other's lives enough to stop and have a talk. Honestly, I'm better friends with some of my coworkers than I ever was with half of the people I knew in high school. Kind of just loops back to the point that most of high school doesn't matter.
@@matty_daddy the less you worry about that the better. You don't need to be surrounded by people, just find someone that likes the same shit you do. I was aways an introvert (I'm 23 and I still am), and I can say that most people just think too much
@@matty_daddy I am 29. I wish I did more stuff when I was younger. Join a club. Join a team. If you hate it, you quit. If you like it, then you will always remember it and it will have value to you for many more years in the future.
@@matty_daddy 99.9% of the people you attend school with won't matter BUT you may regret not forming silly high school memories or at least trying to make friends. I used to be the same way.
So many days in high school the teacher would just show up and be like "I don't really have anything to teach today. Just look over your notes or sit there in silence for 52 minutes." The critical thinking skills, social connections, and support structure that school provides is insanely valuable but dear god do they sometimes just not give a shit.
Then you retire and you might only have 10 good years left before you're too old to do anything. Happened to my step grandfather, died 8 months ago. He was a fucking bastard and I'm glad he's gone. But he retired in 2000, health had been going downhill for the better part of the past 10 years. 10 years ain't a lot of time to enjoy life when you're already in your 60s. Like my dad told me, you're older for a lot longer than your younger.... But in the end you might just work your entire life and die never having a chance to just chill and let the world go by.
I guess it depends on the socioeconomic status of the area and people you went to school with. We had a lot of our ‘cool kids/popular kids’ just be ‘professionally rich’, or inherit a position in a family company, Ivy League University just for the status, being wealthy and hanging at home all day reading, etc.
“The time a kid farted super loud during a test” Now I don’t want to confirm anything here, but I may or may not have been that kid. And I’m not saying I certainly was that kid, but if I was, I got away with it and nobody Knew who it was...

In my first semester of College I realized High School was a giant nothing burger in which I learn nothing, and I was a pretty decent student who occasionally had an Advance class. These days I forget there was a period of my life called High School
The sole class I truly loved was english. I literally have nostalgia for the debates we had in that class. Sophomore year we read a midnights summer dream and I read for the role of Demetrius. I Was a virgin with no friends, and reading the lines for Demetrius (who literally had girls stalking him because how much they loved him) made me feel alive. The girl that read the lead female wasn’t pretty, but still hearing her voice and listening to how desperately she had longed to be with me... (the character Demetrius) gave me a sense of confidence I never had in my life. In senior year I started writing a book, and seen myself as writer of sorts. Towards the end of year we were learning how to write a sonnet (or something involving poetry) but it wasn’t being graded. My sonnet was about war, and how no matter what type of man you were (based upon religion, skin color) ultimately you fought hard to return to your wife, but so too was the other man (and I sorta had the idea that the poem overall made war out to be a thing we humans do out of love.) I showed my teacher (having no one else to show it too) and a girl in my class named Allie asked me to read her poem (Allie was a white girl, Christian, and ultra smart; I felt really honored) I can’t remember what her poem was about, but the realization that I had an actual talent (and that OTHER PEOPLE FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGED ME) made me feel like Superman. I told Allie I liked her poem and her cheeks grew just slightly red (I had never made a girl flustered before and it was strange, but in the most wonderful way) I realized (thanks to English 1-4) that being an artist had truly been my only true desire, and that if I could spread my ideas and my love by proxy (to my readers and those who rely upon my work for comfort) that life would be worth living; ironically enough the rest of HS made me want KMS.
I’m only 13 and dropped out of school when i was 11 so i don’t even know what is high school, it’s been 2 years since i dropped out and honestly it’s feels amazing, now i have all the free times in the world and guess what i do, sitting in front of a monitor for most of the times, well at least my english wasn’t too bad for a native asian kid that barely take any classes, pretty much everything i’ve learned is from the internet, sometimes i learn too much though
@@lord_khufu wait whyed you drop out of school and your only 13 thats kinda bad cause your missing out on alot of stuff and things and chances so lol good luck
@@emanuel5944 It’s simple, my mom can barely pay for school, i have no friends so every break time feels like shit as i’m awkwardly sitting on a bench and do absolutely nothing, heck it would be less awkward if i can just sit in class but they force students out when it’s break time, probably to preserve electricity usage, and i’m still quite pissed of that art teacher, i’m very lazy when it’s come to art so i didn’t finish painting anything, there’s only a few art teachers in school so that guy will certainly haunt me for the rest of middle school. All that reasons are just enough to make me dropped it
@Tom Ffrench Not that I'm s talking you in the comments hahaha, but under this comment you replied that you don't miss hs at all, but this comment implies sth different, do you have a hate/love relationship with HS memories?
As a swedish boi, the concept of american high schools have always been so weird to me. Feels like your entire life revolves around it. Schools in Sweden is just a place you go to have classes and then boot scoot boogie out of there as soon as possible. no sport teams, no chess clubs not any of that. its also a much more casual dynamic between students and teachers, no one calls anyone by their last names and the teachers (at least the cool ones) always sit with their students at lunch making jokes and shit
Tbh thats how high school in the US is for alot of people too. Probably more than half of my school didn't do any extra activities at all, they just went to class then went home. I think popular media makes american high school look alot more involved than it actually is
i feel so relieved reading these comments. i have a couple friends but i am so unbelievably socially anxious it gets in the way of everything, i feel like i'm not experiencing the actually good parts of high school enough. i'm scared but i'm gonna try my best to talk more to other people this year!
Hey Jakey, long time viewer here. I've just finished crying my eyes out after thinking about a really rough month where a friend died, had some family issues and some serious problems with my long time girlfriend. This video made me really happy and made me laugh for the first time in a week or so. You don't have to see this, but I love you and I appreciate you and your content. Never change man.
kid who picked on me for being “poor” and talked about going to ivy league schools delivered a pizza to the house i bought a few months ago. ngl, felt pretty good
Riverdale tales there isn’t. but him bragging about his parents having so much money that he could go to a top school, yet he’s delivering pizza in our hometown. not bashing him per se, just a reminder to be humble
All high school did was give me PTSD every time I hear Don't Stop Believing and Living on a Prayer because of every gOSH DARN ASSEMBLY ABOUT WHATEVER THE FRICK
I started hiding in classrooms and bathrooms for pep rallies after sophomore year. Shit was awful. The first time I sat it out I hid under a desk in an empty labroom, but after a little bit I heard a teacher open the door and start wondering around. Not wanting to get caught under a desk like a weirdo (why I chose to hide under a desk; was a weirdo), I got up slowly and then absconded from the room at a fastwalk pace. Have no idea if she saw me or what she thought although I'd love to hear her side of the story if she did see me. I went to the nearest bathroom and played on my phone. Thanks for reminding me. 🤦🏼♀️
I was treated like an absolute moron by my classmates for suggesting that a lot of the stress they had over grades and academic/school accomplishments was mostly meaningless. They were convinced that if they didn't get everything right and didn't have every single little thing figured out that their lives were gonna be over. I knew people who would get 4 hours of sleep on average trying to academically stand out just so that they could get to be in dual enrollment or the honors class. I told them that a majority of what we were learning was going to have hardly any impact on us after high-school. A lot of these adults treated us like trash and hardly bothered to have a moment of self reflection in their teaching methods. Whenever a kid failed it was just the kids fault. After my sophomore year I was done with being treated like an educational prisoner and I dropped out. I got practically disowned by my family for this despite the fact that I was severely depressed at the time and heavily burnt out. A year later I studied for my GED and aced the test and skipped a lot of my prerequisites. I got into a college a year earlier than I would have if I stayed in high-school which is something I would have had to be in all honors classes to even hope for. I did great in college and got into the honors society in my first semester and became the vice president soon after. Founded clubs, and wrote papers and helped teach other first years how to improve their writing. As I predicted hardly any of what they taught us meant anything, I can't tell you the last time I've had to use 90% of what they taught us. And the SAT and ACT that so many people stressed over were things I could have taken at any time I felt like. And with the resume I built I didn't even need them to transfer. After my first year was done I went into trades and I've got another year or so before my degree is done. I'll be moving soon and I've got a job lined up that's gonna pay me 20 dollars an hour to start. My credit is great and my move will be pretty comfortable because financially I'm doing fine. I've received grants and scholarships along the way to help with my costs. And after my degree is done I'll be starting out at around 75k per year. But trust me I've heard plenty of stories from my family and friends in school back then that told me I was going to be a failure for not sticking with high-school. But from where I stand now I regret absolutely nothing and stand by my decision. High-school in this country is a joke and I had no intention of being the punchline. Edit update: Recently received a certification and have been started out at 22 an hour full time. I'm on track to complete my degree in a year or less and my apprenticeship will be finished in 2 more years. Financially I'm doing fine and the only thing that has been tough is trying to find an apartment during these summer months. Update 2: Found a great place for a cheap price, I have a truck now and basically every tool I need for carpentry. My degree will be done by the first month of the new year. I've also been offered some jobs in residential willing to pay me 28 an hour to start which I might transfer to soon.
@@quiarapl8362 My theory why school, middle school and high school, felt like forever is because you're probably not working and have very little to no responsibilities. Once you start working a 40 hour job, your weeks start flying. Was furloughed for a couple months via covid, and it felt like fucking forever. Now that I'm back at work, the weeks are moving much faster for me.
@@reznortetrault4348 I agree. For a lot of people, work is the same every day. You go in knowing exactly what your doing and what to expect, given a few surprises. School is similar, but the stress and the importance of everything you do can be daunting. Even though I loved learning, I was really bad at tests and finishing essays, so I ended up hating school. It wasn't that I was stupid, it was just my inability to seek help (and a therapist). I do have a lot of responsibilities at home though, just not an job.
And then I went to college, have a bachelors and still don’t know shit😂. Too bad they don’t teach us real skills. Didn’t even teach us the actual computer programs used in businesses.

High School is where you force as much concentrated cringe out of your personality as possible until you're too old and the cringe baseline has been set.
Omg I hope so- I’ve literally said so many embarrassing things and have been so embarrassingly loud without thinking and I hope that doesn’t continue on after I graduate highschool 😭

The horse girl is no joke. Had one at almost every high school I went to (rural Wisconsin). One was named Misty. She was a horse girl. Looked into her profile and she is doing great, she helps run her families horse mating business or something. We all sorta laughed at her in highschool but nowadays she has her own house in her early twenties. Who's neighing now?
Nice.
her name being misty makes perfect sense
Damn sounds like she is living the life.
@@whoisheiforgothisname2103 the one that got away smh
Oh yeah, every horse girl I knew in grade school grew up to actually do stuff with horses as an adult: trainer, vet, breeder, etc. They become the adults helping the next generation of horse girls succeed in life. If I could go back in life to like middle school, I'd go down the horse girl path, seems like the most solid career path that exists.

i was so miserable all throughout high school, i couldn't bring myself to engage w my peers and it sucked. i wish i could've experienced the typical teenager stuff like having a big group of friends and goin to parties. its what i always dreamed when i was goin thru my shitty childhood and it hurts knowing that life didnt actually get any better when i got older like i thought it would as a kid

Sigh...
when i graduated all of my classmates were crying and i just stood there feeling so fucking happy that it was finally over. it's not like i didn't have any friends or didn't enjoy my classes, i just fucking hated being trapped in there with a bunch of people who didn't understand me at all with a schedule that fucked me up
Same
Same here.
Lol, I kinda understanding crying because you’ll miss your favorite teachers. But at the same time, like ya’ll finally free, don’t cry because it’s over, smile because 12+ years of learning useless knowledge is over.
I remember when I graduated last year, I had moved to a new school the same year COVID started, so I didnt had time to actually meet my classmate, but I wasnt really expecting anything. The year before that was the worst year of my entire life and I wasnt really looking forward for two more years of high school.
Honestly, I should thank COVID for freeing me from that.
Didnt went to prom, didnt cared about anything, I got my grades, saw that I had passed on everything (obviously I had, I had been cheating on tests online for two years), then I just laid on my bed, I thanked that it was over.

Every time I see someone from high school all those old pressures come back, and I think like “what person am I supposed to be around them again? Oh god I hope this is right”. Just the worst feeling
Same though. I never really figured out what kind of person I was until I had graduated. Now I'm kinda upset I didnt figure it out earlier cause I kept switching from trying to be like everyone else and myself and ended up in this odd area where I was neither.
School did not prepare me for college at all, the amount of independent study and the steep rise in difficulty level is ridiculous
Facts, I literally went to a college prep high school, and that high school did not help what so ever, ur telling me I gotta study for all these exams without a study guide? What’s up with these 4 1000 word writing assignments due at the end of the week? Wait I don’t get free time?, what are these giant books that I have to read and take notes on (I’m in my 3rd semester and any college classes that require big books I struggle or fail in I was never taught how to tackle them, take notes on the whole book or what?) yea high school is a joke in preparing for college.
@@TriableChain552 Don’t you guys have some documents from the previous students that took those classes?

High school is like a super long prologue in a jrpg. You HAVE to do it, but once it's over the hometown is gonna burn to the ground, monsters are gonna return to the overworld, and you're gonna have to go on an adventure to defeat the demonlord. But that shits just sprung on you. At no point in your life does anyone give you the proper training or education to defeat the demon lord. They just assume you'll figure it out on your own when you have to.
I'm not sure this metaphor works
That just means I have to learn all the things I need in order to defeat the demon lord myself... while trying to defeat the demon lord. And I don't know if I should giggle myself stupid or fall headfirst into another existential crises over that analogy.

As someone who was a senior when COVID hit in March, meaning that all my extracurriculars were cancelled, I did exclusively online school, prom was cancelled, and I graduated sitting on my couch at home, let me tell you all this:
High school doesn't matter. The memories may be important, but do not let it become your life. Seniors who let themselves have high school be their identity fell apart during the last quarter of our year. They felt listless not being the popular kids anymore. They didn't know what to do.
It's just school. You will get through it, and you will find yourself being happier when you graduate. Don't let mediocre teens tell you how you should feel, act, and be. Just be yourself. Focus on your education. Have fun with your friends. You can do this.

I disagree a little bit on the "your classes don't matter" argument because a huge part of the value of science, math, history, etc is that they expose you to new concepts and career paths you otherwise might not consider. That said, making 17 year olds decide their career path and then shaming them when they inevitably change their mind a month into college is terrible and also there should absolutely be classes in high school that teach you applicable life skills like taxes.
I agree! I think high school is definitely lacking in its life skills and career education, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t important to develop a baseline understanding of different academic subjects, regardless of whether you’ll use it in the future. It’s more about rounding out your worldview as a well-educated citizen. If all high school did was teach us the bare minimum needed to function in society, it would be pretty awful education. I hope going forward, schools can not only continue teaching the variety of subjects they now teach, but expand their options further, allowing students to explore a wider variety of fields and interests.
Oh but learning maths through funny examples like a dude buying 100 potatoes will not help me do taxes! School bad!
Its like, they assume that that kid knows what career to take 10 years in the future. Like, among a class of 30 or whatever, _one_ kid will go on to be a biologist/doctor/researcher, and since _he_ has to know that the mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, then _everyone_ has to know it.

Damn, nothing like this video to hit you with a depression wave on how much you wasted your time in high school being depressed and socially anxious
But high school didn't matter. You are living now, in the present! Focus on the moment.
That shouldnt make you more depressed it should make you want to stop wallowing in your own self pity so that in the future when you look back to now you don't feel the same way. Obviously its not just that easy but one step at a time.
The lack of self awareness rn is astounding. Cuz now you’re wasting _today_ being depressed and self anxious. I have depression, too, man, but take my comment as a wakeup call.

Basically: the education system is flawed, but what really matters is the friends you made along the way
Yes because you’ll know those people forever
/s
Maybe the real education is the friend we made along the way
Until you all leave for college and say your gonna keep in touch, but you never do. Then all your homies are either getting married or having kids, and buying houses, and getting better jobs and subsequently not having time to hang out.
Agreed. I've managed to keep the same group of friends since elementary school despite most of us going off to separate colleges. It's entirely possible if you make the effort to keep in touch.
Now that I’m in college, I realize that high school is a scam and that no one cares how many AP credits you got or how fast you’re growing through life. Everyone goes at their own pace.
Exactly. I chose not to do honors because I knew nobody would give a damn because all that matters is your gpa, act, and sat scores. I have a 3.8 gpa and my friend has a 3.4 but she takes honors so for me to see that I realize I dodged a bullet
Facts. I’m still in high school but refuse to take more than one honors class. Fr it DOESNT matter and it just puts more stress on you
For me, I’m just maxing out on IB and AP credits just so I don’t have to take classes I hate in college

Incorrect. High school gave me so much trauma that I had to go through many years of therapy after that. It matter, just not in a good way.
I actually took my high schools “senior financial algebra” class instead of taking calculus (I had kinda self taught myself my junior year for physics) and it was all about doing taxes, fanatical planning, how to read a gas meter for some fucking reason but it was the only class ever to prepare me for the real world, and now I work for Disney in a completely manufactured one!

the gas meter was for teaching you how to illegally sell gas

hey it’s fine high school is just a small part of ur life u have so much more life ahead of u to make memories and enjoy ur life.
If I can give advice to anyone in high school now as an adult, try to learn some interesting skill. Pick up an instrument, learn to code, get fluent in another language, etc.
You may not have the time and energy to do it as an adult so you'll be thankful you did as a kid. Esp bc it'll make you a more interesting person when you quickly reach an age that genetics and puberty don't matter as much as who you are as an individual.
**Edit:** Glad this was good advice to some! I spent a decent amount of time in HS learning guitar and songwriting and I'm glad I have that skill today bc it really expanded much of my personal and social life, so I hope you find your thing

Thank you, I've been stressed like what I want to do in life n idk what but now that I think about it. I got all the time in the world and I will learn
lmao im too busy being depressed
Thanks for this advice
This is why I’m soooo happy I matured and had reality checks in my life early on. Like I know if I had a normal life everyone else usually has I would’ve just been a different person.
The frustrating part is to KNOW that I only went to school to go to university and that I am only going to university because the field I want to work in requires a master and quite frankly I have spent 14 years of my life with NOTHING important at all which I will have to do for another four years and my actual "life" hasn't even started yet... WTF.
That's how education works buddy. I am a neuroscience student and I used the last 3 and half years to get a degree in biotechs, it or biology being a prerequisite for this master I am currently in, and more than half the courses were useless to my objective.
BUT learning more can't be bad. That's why school to begin with is structured like this.
Sure, knowing a bit more about biochemistry and less about general chemistry would have helped me, but most people aren't sure about what they want to do with their lives, having education systems provide a general knowledge help them. Hell, it's from when I started university that I wanted to go on the path I am but even so I had doubts and almost changed my studies.
Just like for the general student learning about the powerhouse of the Cell won't be important but won't harm them, the same applies for your secondary knowledge.
@@Hyperversum3 I study politics with a focus on international relationships in Europe. Now, as you maybe know the general field of politics, like nearly all basic humanitarian scientific fields, is pretty wide so career opportunities can vary drastically - most people earn jack shit because they don't have a plan in this field but not only in that regard, I am a very special snowflake.
I was sure pretty early on of what I wanted to do, I know myself very well and planned all of this out very carefully. I knew that I wanted to study, I knew that I wouldn't want much to do with stem, I came to the conclusion that I could do something with law, economics with a focus on the Chinese market or politics, I chose the latter as the relationships with China turned even sourer and as I noticed quickly that while I enjoy law, I didn't want to spend my life with it, so eventually I made the correct choice and picked something I just like to concern myself with and figured out the best way to eventually make money in the field - not because I want to get rich, again, I deliberately didn't pick law.
Now, I am still studying and I don't know how the market will be in 4 years when I first really enter it but sadly, I lack an interest in something more practical so I made the best out of my talents. Regardless
I still had to waste years of my educational life with stuff that wasn't even reasonably helpful or in any way justifiable from my personal perspective.
I mean that in a pretty severe manner, I sat in my class, I learned and I haven't used most this knowledge ever since nor will I ever have to use most of it - fine, let's say that languages were useful, the basics were, of course, necessary and then I have like everybody some subjects which I genuinely liked. Still doesn't change the fact I planned out my humble current gamble with the knowledge I almost exclusively picked up outside of the education system while preparing for the finals which I concluded without much effort and I don't mean that as a brag but as an accusation. It was laughably easy. Like, the stuff that was difficult was my only (required) Stem subject.
I know don't have all the answers, it’s just that I understand "how education works" for me and I am saying that the system we apply can be highly ineffective and was partly designed literal decades ago, remained almost unchanged in many school systems on the planet and that THAT is a problem for me.
I know that it helps people to have a wide education but here is the thing - I don't care about others so much that I am willing to sacrifice YEARS of my youth for their lack of self-understanding. I still do not wish for them to make premature decisions, but you get my point stranger.
That's not supposed to sound arrogant or like an asshole; I am just frustrated because unlike most people as it seems to me; I had the thought that none of this matters with 12 and not with 20. I wasn't super bright or super gifted but I had the luxury of time.
Society is built by us cooperating and I know that people like to say that the lowest plank is the weakest part of the barrel but its 2020, better concepts could be implemented and quite frankly I study politics at least in part because I KNOW that essential things in my nation are going wrong and nothing has been done about it in years.
For the general student, having better-paid teachers who can and want to afford more time for them and their problems would have been a good start. Why I say all this with such with confidence? Because I had good teachers, I was good ( not outstanding in any way but I aced what I had to without much effort ) at school, I enjoyed my time there for all the wrong reasons and I STILL say that it was a huge waste of time regardless.
It's just... I don't have so long. In 20 years I will be forty. In 40 years, 60, in 60 years I will be 80 years old. And I still have so much I want to do. Life is short if you have plans. And I am afraid. Do you know what life is? I don't. But I remember a quote from a video of an old soldier about what death is I watched 5 years ago.
"Once you realize they are gone, they're dead, then what death looks like, is nothing. There's nothing there. There's a body there but there's nothing at all. It goes from something, a big something to the smallest nothing that there can be. It goes from dreams and aspirations to nothing. You know, you can kick it, you can hit it with a stick, you can throw rocks on it, you can do anything and it won't bother, 'cause it's dead."
ua-cam.com/video/GxSR1VgVAUk/v-deo.html at 2:55 min
I am terrified of dying. So incredibly afraid. I can't afford to waste my time with things I don't do for me, for my loved ones, for my small insignificant world because I have no god, no afterlife, no nothing, this is it, this small worthless life that can be snuffed out with one moment of carelessness. Nearly the entire world won't miss me when I am gone.
I once loved a girl and for one sweet day in a fall a long time ago, I wasn't afraid of death. It was the single best moment of my life.
That's why I want to learn what I need. That's why in regards to things that concern me, I don't compromise. I can't. I would hate me forever if I did, I couldn't live like that and because life has no reset button, no second chances I have to forge my small story. You will have forgotten about me by tomorrow. And that's ok. C'est la vie. The greatest gift there is.

And it that wasn’t bad- I ended up transferring my senior year and spent it as the new kid. Which was hell on earth. I went to prom with strangers and felt no joy walking across that stage.

In my first semester of College I realized High School was a giant nothing burger in which I learn nothing, and I was a pretty decent student who occasionally had an Advance class. These days I forget there was a period of my life called High School
The sole class I truly loved was english. I literally have nostalgia for the debates we had in that class. Sophomore year we read a midnights summer dream and I read for the role of Demetrius. I Was a virgin with no friends, and reading the lines for Demetrius (who literally had girls stalking him because how much they loved him) made me feel alive. The girl that read the lead female wasn’t pretty, but still hearing her voice and listening to how desperately she had longed to be with me... (the character Demetrius) gave me a sense of confidence I never had in my life. In senior year I started writing a book, and seen myself as writer of sorts. Towards the end of year we were learning how to write a sonnet (or something involving poetry) but it wasn’t being graded. My sonnet was about war, and how no matter what type of man you were (based upon religion, skin color) ultimately you fought hard to return to your wife, but so too was the other man (and I sorta had the idea that the poem overall made war out to be a thing we humans do out of love.) I showed my teacher (having no one else to show it too) and a girl in my class named Allie asked me to read her poem (Allie was a white girl, Christian, and ultra smart; I felt really honored) I can’t remember what her poem was about, but the realization that I had an actual talent (and that OTHER PEOPLE FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGED ME) made me feel like Superman. I told Allie I liked her poem and her cheeks grew just slightly red (I had never made a girl flustered before and it was strange, but in the most wonderful way) I realized (thanks to English 1-4) that being an artist had truly been my only true desire, and that if I could spread my ideas and my love by proxy (to my readers and those who rely upon my work for comfort) that life would be worth living; ironically enough the rest of HS made me want KMS.
I’m only 13 and dropped out of school when i was 11 so i don’t even know what is high school, it’s been 2 years since i dropped out and honestly it’s feels amazing, now i have all the free times in the world and guess what i do, sitting in front of a monitor for most of the times, well at least my english wasn’t too bad for a native asian kid that barely take any classes, pretty much everything i’ve learned is from the internet, sometimes i learn too much though
@@lord_khufu wait whyed you drop out of school and your only 13 thats kinda bad cause your missing out on alot of stuff and things and chances so lol good luck
@@emanuel5944 It’s simple, my mom can barely pay for school, i have no friends so every break time feels like shit as i’m awkwardly sitting on a bench and do absolutely nothing, heck it would be less awkward if i can just sit in class but they force students out when it’s break time, probably to preserve electricity usage, and i’m still quite pissed of that art teacher, i’m very lazy when it’s come to art so i didn’t finish painting anything, there’s only a few art teachers in school so that guy will certainly haunt me for the rest of middle school. All that reasons are just enough to make me dropped it
@Tom Ffrench Not that I'm s talking you in the comments hahaha, but under this comment you replied that you don't miss hs at all, but this comment implies sth different, do you have a hate/love relationship with HS memories?
As a swedish boi, the concept of american high schools have always been so weird to me. Feels like your entire life revolves around it. Schools in Sweden is just a place you go to have classes and then boot scoot boogie out of there as soon as possible. no sport teams, no chess clubs not any of that. its also a much more casual dynamic between students and teachers, no one calls anyone by their last names and the teachers (at least the cool ones) always sit with their students at lunch making jokes and shit
Tbh thats how high school in the US is for alot of people too. Probably more than half of my school didn't do any extra activities at all, they just went to class then went home. I think popular media makes american high school look alot more involved than it actually is
That's brazilian school as well. Except for some exceptions..
High school to me is just a place where I just have to go to learn and get to laugh with my friends.
@@andrewj3671 that is not the norm
@@gottabeinspiring if its like in my country most fo the girls are getting plowed in the bathroom or after school lol so much fucking lol
i feel so relieved reading these comments. i have a couple friends but i am so unbelievably socially anxious it gets in the way of everything, i feel like i'm not experiencing the actually good parts of high school enough. i'm scared but i'm gonna try my best to talk more to other people this year!
I only have 2 friends and I'm missing out on high school

Hey Jakey, long time viewer here. I've just finished crying my eyes out after thinking about a really rough month where a friend died, had some family issues and some serious problems with my long time girlfriend. This video made me really happy and made me laugh for the first time in a week or so. You don't have to see this, but I love you and I appreciate you and your content. Never change man.
Sorry to hear about all that, life can throw a lot at you. Best of wishes, stay strong.
No matter what just keep moving forward my man, I’m pretty sure that’s all your friend would want for you is to be the best you can be
FFUckk... I love you bro. Thanks for not making me feel alone--
My feelings about high school can be summed up with that one kid's yearbook quote: "I'm glad it's over."
Perfect
My high school banned senior quotes after the yearbook editors failed to catch a reference to anal sex
I've watched this video every single year to get through high school, and now I'm finally a senior lol. Thanks for the motivation man.
>Graduates.
"Fantastic. This was a huge waste of my time."
Gentlemen, synchronise your death watches.
Well, the moment has passed, back to _existencial crisis_
I just hit five years on being out of high school so this was perfect timing.
Same here! 😂
kid who picked on me for being “poor” and talked about going to ivy league schools delivered a pizza to the house i bought a few months ago. ngl, felt pretty good
Nothing wrong with delivering pizza
Riverdale tales there isn’t. but him bragging about his parents having so much money that he could go to a top school, yet he’s delivering pizza in our hometown. not bashing him per se, just a reminder to be humble
I mean, I've made $40/hr delivering pizza.

He sure did, UA-cam comments poster. His name is Albert Einstein by the way
When I graduated I didn’t even feel like attending the ceremony. I just picked up my diploma
The "todd" from my school is running from drug dealers that he snitched on to get out of jail. And I graduate in a month
@Len Mo are you having a bad day? Do you need a nap?

@GenericGamer no.227 maybe, but life is a lot easier when you have rich parents
All high school did was give me PTSD every time I hear Don't Stop Believing and Living on a Prayer because of every gOSH DARN ASSEMBLY ABOUT WHATEVER THE FRICK
Those gosh darn gen x teachers and their 80's rock spotify playlists dedicated for assemblies lol
Why do I relate to this so much. Why the fuck does every assembly play this song+ graduation
I hated assemblies so much.
I started hiding in classrooms and bathrooms for pep rallies after sophomore year. Shit was awful. The first time I sat it out I hid under a desk in an empty labroom, but after a little bit I heard a teacher open the door and start wondering around. Not wanting to get caught under a desk like a weirdo (why I chose to hide under a desk; was a weirdo), I got up slowly and then absconded from the room at a fastwalk pace. Have no idea if she saw me or what she thought although I'd love to hear her side of the story if she did see me. I went to the nearest bathroom and played on my phone.
Thanks for reminding me. 🤦🏼♀️
Glee made me perpetually hate drama and glee club kids. I can feel my saliva becoming acrid whenever i sense one nearby. Choir kids unite!!
I was treated like an absolute moron by my classmates for suggesting that a lot of the stress they had over grades and academic/school accomplishments was mostly meaningless. They were convinced that if they didn't get everything right and didn't have every single little thing figured out that their lives were gonna be over. I knew people who would get 4 hours of sleep on average trying to academically stand out just so that they could get to be in dual enrollment or the honors class. I told them that a majority of what we were learning was going to have hardly any impact on us after high-school. A lot of these adults treated us like trash and hardly bothered to have a moment of self reflection in their teaching methods. Whenever a kid failed it was just the kids fault. After my sophomore year I was done with being treated like an educational prisoner and I dropped out. I got practically disowned by my family for this despite the fact that I was severely depressed at the time and heavily burnt out. A year later I studied for my GED and aced the test and skipped a lot of my prerequisites. I got into a college a year earlier than I would have if I stayed in high-school which is something I would have had to be in all honors classes to even hope for. I did great in college and got into the honors society in my first semester and became the vice president soon after. Founded clubs, and wrote papers and helped teach other first years how to improve their writing. As I predicted hardly any of what they taught us meant anything, I can't tell you the last time I've had to use 90% of what they taught us. And the SAT and ACT that so many people stressed over were things I could have taken at any time I felt like. And with the resume I built I didn't even need them to transfer. After my first year was done I went into trades and I've got another year or so before my degree is done. I'll be moving soon and I've got a job lined up that's gonna pay me 20 dollars an hour to start. My credit is great and my move will be pretty comfortable because financially I'm doing fine. I've received grants and scholarships along the way to help with my costs. And after my degree is done I'll be starting out at around 75k per year. But trust me I've heard plenty of stories from my family and friends in school back then that told me I was going to be a failure for not sticking with high-school. But from where I stand now I regret absolutely nothing and stand by my decision. High-school in this country is a joke and I had no intention of being the punchline.
Edit update:
Recently received a certification and have been started out at 22 an hour full time. I'm on track to complete my degree in a year or less and my apprenticeship will be finished in 2 more years. Financially I'm doing fine and the only thing that has been tough is trying to find an apartment during these summer months.
Update 2:
Found a great place for a cheap price, I have a truck now and basically every tool I need for carpentry. My degree will be done by the first month of the new year. I've also been offered some jobs in residential willing to pay me 28 an hour to start which I might transfer to soon.
pretty inspiring story (yes I read all of it)

Any high schooler reading this, it’s only 4 years. Good or bad. It comes and goes pretty quick. Then the real game begins lol
Got out of highschool a year ago, and that shit felt like a decade. But thats probably because I never liked school.
@@quiarapl8362 My theory why school, middle school and high school, felt like forever is because you're probably not working and have very little to no responsibilities.
Once you start working a 40 hour job, your weeks start flying. Was furloughed for a couple months via covid, and it felt like fucking forever. Now that I'm back at work, the weeks are moving much faster for me.
@@reznortetrault4348 I agree. For a lot of people, work is the same every day. You go in knowing exactly what your doing and what to expect, given a few surprises.
School is similar, but the stress and the importance of everything you do can be daunting. Even though I loved learning, I was really bad at tests and finishing essays, so I ended up hating school. It wasn't that I was stupid, it was just my inability to seek help (and a therapist). I do have a lot of responsibilities at home though, just not an job.
im a freshmen in highschool now
And then I went to college, have a bachelors and still don’t know shit😂. Too bad they don’t teach us real skills. Didn’t even teach us the actual computer programs used in businesses.
