this is kind of a rant so don't read if you don't want too.

i don't do well in school. ever since like 8th grade i have been getting bad grades. back then it was just a kind of rebellion type thing. i'm now in 12th grade somehow and have all Fs. my parents are embaressed by me and always talking about what they are going to do with me.

i started high school at a school by my house until 11th grade when i switched to another school a little further away. i got into a lot of trouble at that school and eventually my parents decided to put me in an online school. the thing is that at the end of last year between being stoned all the time i kind of decided that i really wanted to go back to that school and do well. i figured i would go in there and raise my grades and make my parents happy.

they decided that online school at home would be a better option. i started doing online school and did well the first few weeks but lost all motivation. there was nothing to get up and go to and nothing to push me to do well in it. its almost like taking the year off and having no commitment because you're always at home and don't have to do anything but school.

everytime i try to catch up i just end up getting further behind no matter what i do. it is kind of a downer but i try to stay positive.

i now ski about 4 days a week and love life. its really what i want to do. my mom and dad want me to grow up and live that so called "american ideal" with a big house and kids and wife and money. i don't really want that though and i'm content with living life in a small apartment or something and enjoying life and having downtime rather than always having to work.

i'm still doing school but my parents and i get in constant arguments about my grades. i really do try to do good but there are times when i just look at it and think, "i'm doing online school? what is the point of this, there isn't a real teacher, i'm not learning anything, why am i still doing it?"

thats my rant. don't read it if you dont want..
 
you sound like my little brother.... stop smoking dope and get your grade 12 ffs... it isn't difficult. Once you get your grade 12 do whatever the fuck you want, move out west and buy a pound of dope and ski. It may take 6 months or whatever, but it's worth it.
 
i forgot to add that i've only smoked maybe 3 times since 11th grade. i pretty much quit that shit right after i got out of school
 
i have the same EXACT problem, except im sophmore, so i have time to change, i really need to or im gonna fuck the rest of my life up
 
i never got good grades either, but you should really finish 12th grade, even if just online. there is a big difference between finishing that one year and not.
 
yea your life seems great now but you didnt mention anything about working or actually supporting yourself. so what happens when your parents decide they are tired of taking care of you. what are you gonna do then? your apartment costs money. your food costs money. your weed costs money. worst of all your pass costs money. you dont realize how much all the shit you do costs money and if you can't even get a high school degree you will never be able to pay for any of that shit. Think about your life ten years from now are you still gonna be happy scraping by living in that same tiny apartment just being high and wasting away your life. The point of the story is just finish that shit.
