i really have no idea where my life is going...i want to do well in school but when it comes down to it i just cant motivate myself, we've been back for 6 weeks now and iv done homework once, most of the teachers are chill but im not worried about that. Im worried about myself and the way my life is going. Iv never been the most organised person and im fine with that, thats just who I am but i have no idea what i want to do...I wanted to be a journalist but i just dont know anymore...Im so confused as to what to do with my life and i know it sounds pathetic, i mean im 16 and my mind is split into so many decisions and choices that im lost. basically the rest of my life depends on the next 2 years of school before im let loose on the world, i have maybe until christmas to decide exactly what i want to do after my final exams...in my head i know that if i carry on the way i am then I wont have enough points to do any course in university that im interested in but i dont think the reality of that has sunk into my head enough to make a difference...right now im just totally lost and confused. My life is great, its nothing to do with that its just school and responsibilities that i cant deal with, i just want some advice or just someone to listen..
yeah iv been thinking that but its for my mum aswell, shes gone through alot this year. She was diagnosed with cervical cancer last year and has been fighting that since, shes fine with me smoking and everything but she wants me to do well...she knows i can and i do to, im not a stupid person, im smart when i apply myself but i find it so hard. I dont want to dissapoint her or myself because i now im better then that. But my life seems to be eaten up by school and coursework and at the moment im just thinking that lifes too important for those things, i should be living. Not sitting in scholl all day and then spending the rest of my free time doing homework, it just seems like such a waste of time when in the end we're all going finish dead anyway (i dont mean that in a negative way). I just think that more time should be spent living then studying but no one else seems to see it like that and it just leaves a load of teachers and relatives thinking that im a waste of space but its not like that whatsoever
school is a training place to become a functional part of society. it teaches you a lot more than how to do quadratic equations, even though you don't realize it. it teaches you that if you apply yourself to something, you'll get places, and if you don't there's consequences. it also teaches you how to finish things that you don't want to do. you learn life lessons in school. sure you don't want to be there, but it's mandatory, isn't it? and if you HAVE to be there, you may as well do your best, otherwise you're REALLY wasting your life.
we don't need no education we don't need no thought control man just make sure you do good in school..you don't have to do fantastic but B's and C's are good enough. you just want enough to manage you through life. as pointless as alot of it seems, you can't argue with the fact that how well you do depends on your career choices and whatnot. just make sure you do good, get into a decent college, and from there just follow wherever the road takes you. hardly anyone who has a career vision in high school actually ends up going down that path. take things as they come. that's my plan for the future.
i stayed in school to do it for my dad. i grauated and he knows i so easily could of dropped out. just get by with whatever you can. then when your out of high school you can decide how to live your life.
I've said this over and over you don't need to go to school unless you want to I dropped out @ 16 because I knew I was meant for other things. Now I make bank making music doing what I love to do. (audio engineering) If you want to be a sheep, go for it. There are alternative routes.
i love helping people, without physically helping them. i also love drugs i love knowing how drugs affect the human body/mind i love animals i want to be a pharmacist, ideally some sort of animal pharmacist, but i don't think those exist. tell me how i can accomplish this without a highschool diploma/college degree.
figure it out yourself. I did. Do whatever you want. I am simply here to let you know there are alternative routes if you choose to do so.
I always hated the school part of high school, I'd just go there to communicate or whatever. I did that for the first two years. then I went to this computer school for my third year of high school, and made up for all the horsing around I did in my first two years. I literally finished two years of HS in one year, therefore, I win. now this is my last year, and I'm just dicking around till I graduate. I have no fucking idea what I'll do after I get my diploma, but I just have faith that I'll be fine.
high school is literally a joke. And you dont have to know what you want to be yet... college is about taking classes and testing out your options. you may have a general idea so give it a try. if you dont like it then you can go to a different school and try someting new. My old man started in engineering. then geology. now hes a lawyer. 3 very different jobs.
I didn't mind the school aspect of high school much at all. It was relatively easy and I found most of what I learned from 10th grade on pretty interesting. college i must say is a lot harder, for the first time in my life i'm actually trying just so I won't fail a class. >:{
seriously, high school is a joke and you finally see that once you hit college.i'm in the same situation as you right now.i have a lack of motivation which is getting better.i also have a major problem with procrastination which is why i'm slacking so badly.i think that i'll be fine doing homework the night before a class then i end up getting screwed over.i haven't been to one class this whole week which wasnt realy planned but it made me realize i needa get on top of things.i mean, i don't think you wanna stay in high school for any longer than you have to. some of my friend have classes on monday or tueday so what i do is force myself to go to school with them and hang out in the library and get what i can get done without going crazy.also, you can try making a check list of homework you need to get done.it really helps if you have trouble with procrastnation.if it drives you nuts just do little by little.maybe a change of scenery can do you well.go outside and enjoy the fresh air or something.
Man, you must have gone to a great school, I did NOTHING throughout all of high school and still graduated with a B average. Easiest thing I've had to do in my life so far...
