Okay alot of teachers at my school are very focused on their way of looking at the world. I see the world as a horrible place. Full of hatred and sadness. Most people see the world as a happy place(the world is a big lie) and see that life is about becoming part of society. Thats what school forces on you. Society sucks, economy is crap in the US even though the government just lies straight through their arse(yes i like saying arse). School teaches you that you need to do what the government says. I would love to take over the government and change things. Many people say im crazy because of my different view of the world. People are starting to get what i mean at school but I still have to sit there and get brainwashed. When im in class i just get really pissed thinking wow i could be a home sleeping instead of being treated like im in a concentration camp.

If you want to be cynical, you should consider the fact that only part of the philosophy is a grim out look on human nature. The other part is being virtuous; living a humble, moral life which stands against what you see is wrong. If your teachers have not so intelligent views of the world, challenge it. Question them, and maybe some of the other kids will follow.

Then drop out of it, or better yet change it. Complaining won't help.

There are much worse ones. Look a bit south.

And your recession won't last forever, the US has survived depression before.

And even if it doesn't, well it's not like you guys are dying of hunger. You're not going through a golden age, that's true, but you're still a 1st world country.

That's great! Go ahead, join a NYRA chapter. Be politically active, write letters, attend and organise protests. Contact like minded kids from your school, and change the world together. Complaining won't help.

To begin with, while you are forced to attend classes, there's more than one way to spend class time. Try to subtly get away with not doing your work, maybe you could read stuff that interests you instead of taking notes? I generally review Esperanto vocabulary during boring lessons.

About the concentration camp part, I think it's an exaggeration. School is horrible, and it violates basic human rights. But it's still not even comparable to the horrors of Nazi concentration camps or Soviet gulags.

True. Normally I'd be the one to say that, but today I just feel like killing all the morons in the world... So I'm glad Ahab is here Smile

Why take it as a negative, dude? Embrace it. Stand up for yourself. Call people out and piss on them. Diogenes jerked off in a public market in ancient greece to protest the social standards. You don't even have to come close to defecating in an ampitheatre or living off a diet of onions to follow his role.

Well you know what world FUCK YOU

LOL

Diogenes is my new hero. Laugh
