Is high school big waste of time?
No matter how hard i work it seems like i earn same grade & credits as the other kids.
Not because i'm not hard working enough but because other kids just cheat and get the same grades, and the teachers just ignore it.
My all effort feels worthless, and for a kid like me with poor background, i'm not capable of paying for college, i hoped for scholarship, but since other kids get same grade i cannot be any special, what's the point of going to school, doing all the home work & studying if the other kids achieve same credit with ease. Only the popular kids get praise & love.
So I have zero chance of success.
I'm currently in the 11th and i decided that the school is not worth of effort, so from september to october i decided to stop going to school and focus on learning & figuring things on my own. But my parents, teachers & other kids in my class they all acted as if i'm some sort of threat to society, I can't tell how many times i was told that i would become a hobo without pursuing it, everyone against me
.
So i was forced again going to school,
and i can't believe that i wasted 11 years of my life.
Now i consider that formal education is just inefficient, corrupt system that wastes your time where you're hard work & intelligence won't get you anywhere but cheating & being a popular does.
I consider formal education as a big waste of time, what do you think?

1 AnswerEngineering6 years agoDoes losers have future?
I'll get just straight to the point, i'm 17 year old. I'm not very good looking, i don't have any talents, i felt like an outcast since early childhood. My parents are extremely controlling & overprotective because i'm the only child and i was born premature. When i was 15 i was tired of being a loser, and i wanted to achieve my own freedom over my parents and the school which i hate.
So i tried to start my own business so that i can earn enough money to prove myself and become finally free. But no matter how i tried i failed to find any investors nor succeed at the business. And this only proved that i'm really a loser.
I never succeeded at anything, no one respected me and now after working for 2 years i failed at only thing i believed i can win.
No i don't know what to do, i lost more money, wasted more time than i earned.
I failed to prove that my parents were wrong, and i can't handle the shame.
I hate myself, and starting to think that maybe committing suicide is my only hope.
I mean if been a loser all my life, is there any chance that i have any future.
Why does some "mister good shoes" get all the respect, love and have bright future and someone like me not?

Is it true that men either get fat & have belly after they reach 30 or get married?
I have cousins at 25, and 28 and they both have fat belly's, they are both married.

2 AnswersInvesting7 years agoIs high school waste of time?
I noticed that during elementary school & middle school we took learning seriously and in fact with enthusiasm, but during high school we lose our enthusiasm and start repeating same boring stuff that we never question about the need.
I think high school is a big waste of time and should be excluded from education system. 12 damn years in a school is too much, not only it discourages your curiosity but also gives teens a comfort zone of "go to school, get good grades and you'll do great in life".
I'm 17, i don't have much talent or passion, i never knew what i wanted, my parents only told me to get good grades and that's it, and i just realize now that instead of chasing good grades for 4 damn years teens should get real life experience and put themselves to test of life rather than test on paper.
In my opinion, high school turns children into dummies and procrastinating slobs.
What do you think, i'm a victim of this dumb system just like you

5 AnswersVideo & Online Games7 years agoHow to find your passion(s) in life?
My parents, like most people on earth from my childhood pushed me hard on school. They used to say that doing good in school will earn you good life. Sure i'm good at math & other topics, but up until now i really didn't felt that i should do something that i really enjoy.
Few weeks ago i read Arnold Schwarzenegger's biography, he, instead of focusing on school focused on bodybuilding because he enjoyed it very much and because it was his passion.
So i started searching for my own passion, but i have no clue what i truly want to do or to become.
So how can you find your passion(s)?
Is it too late now that i'm 17 year old?
4 AnswersOther - Education7 years agoIs one family one child policy good idea?
Most countries are "democratic" now, and if someone would say we need overpopulation policy like one family one child would be named as a moron. But right now there are more people living on earth same time than back in ancient times. Population keep growing and more food, water, electricity, space needed which i believe harms the environment.
Is there any country except China, smart enough to use one family one child or maybe one family 2 children policy?
Is it possible to create similar overpopulation policy in USA or other so called pro human right countries?

3 AnswersNewborn & Baby7 years agoIs democracy really good idea?
Most countries now use democracy for their government, but honestly democracy, politics, election are really necessary? There are many countries in the world with democracy but still has bad economy & inefficient government. Even though in democracy it says that people have the power but in the reality i think only few politicians have that right. And i believe democracy brings a lot of chaos & inefficiency toward one countries because every one has something to say, right to promote etc which makes taking action more slow.
Do you think our governments would be more efficient if he had single absolute leader, like a king, and people could talk directly with the king and say their opinions instead of constant voting?
