Ever since I've started middle school, I've been the quiet kid. And, trust me, when I was in elementary school, I was NEVER the quiet kid. I don't mind being the quiet kid, it doesn't bother me. much. I feel like if I was the quiet kid in elementary school, I wouldn't be bothered at all. But, unfortunately, it turns out, by being the quiet kid in middle school, I'm constantly being annoyed and bothered. Apparently, the quiet kids aren't left alone in my middle school. Apparently, us quiet kids, aren't accepted. THE WHOLE EXPECTATION OF BEING A QUIET KID IS TO BE LEFT ALONE, AND NOT BOTHERED! This one kid in my chorus class said I look hittable. So, us quiet kids look hittable, huh? Also, whenever I where a beanie to school, the kids in my class always take it off my head, and they where it. I don't do anything about it, because why would I? It does extremely bother me, though. This one kid in my social studies class always touches me. NO, NO, NO, NOT LIKE THAT KIND OF TOUCHING! You dirty minded people. I mean, like, he always puts his hands on me and stuff. Like, he doesn't keep his hands to himself. Yes, I know I sound like a kindergartener when I say that. I just. I always feel like everyone in my classes invades my personal space, you know? Hey, can someone reply to this, saying if the students in your school does this kind of stuff to the quiet kids? By the way, you know how every quiet kid has a special talent? Well, my special talent, is boxing. So, if I ever get into a fight, or something, I'll be totally prepared. TO KICK SOME ASS!
.
I feel like if this goes on any longer, I'll start having social anxiety, and then, that'll lead to me having to go to therapy, AND THEN, I'll be this depressed teenager that hates life: (

I'm an 8th grader going on 9th this year. Realising that most of the lessons I've learned in high school, I never learned from them, because they were uneccessary for me and my goal was becoming a content creator (VTuber, voice actor and an artist. My mental state explains everything and I realise that school isn't always required. I get gaslighted/guilt tripped by my mom if I don't finish my work in school saying that I'm wasting her money when I'm trying to find a way to make myself feel better, which is hard to find because my mindset is messy. But I'm glad my brother, his wife and my high school advisor is willing to help me get through this mindset, and my brother and his wife is going to consult me a therapist while my advisor is going to need a written copy according to my mental health from my therapist. Sometimes life is unfair but few people is enough for you to feel supported.
And you read me in this video!
1. I'm a night owl
2. I have big ideas
3. College is hard to afford
4. My dream doesn't require a degree
5. I'm self made (through art, voice acting, vtubing, learning languages, etc)
I wish I could drop out so I can start with art commissions early.

Even though I can recognize a few of these signs within myself, what's gotten me this far is not only my own sense of commitment, but also just knowing that I can find a way to use my degree without doing more schooling after I graduate, plus you don't have to pay crazy tuition prices (I'm only speaking as someone who's been attending community college, NOT a university. Depression is very real though, and sometimes, I find myself feeling anxious and conflicted because I see the reasons to both sides of this argument. School provides structure and order to a student's day that they wouldn't otherwise get if they're unable to access other resources. Stability is necessary as well, but for kids, balance is sorely needed. Parents need to be looking out for their well-being in more matters than one, and if they're unable to help for some reason, then getting counseling should be an option.

For a long time I thought I was going to go to college and get an apprenticeship in locksmithing but when I asked college recruiters if the apprenticeship I wanted existed they all said no. Rather than ask the local locksmith for a job I did some thinking and realised locksmithing might now be for me. since then Ive obtained my high school diploma and I have started a government regulated online corse to become a security guard. A message to any high school students questioning what they will do after graduation: theres always a choice just make the one thats right for you and if other people dont like it thats fine it wasnt there decision to make.

College and University is a scam. You spend 6 figures and 4+ years for a piece of paper with your name on it. Most times, the higher your education, the less job availability because you are over qualified. Why? They don't want to pay the salary your master's degree demands.
Either be an entrepreneur while working part time, get a two year degree, or vocation.
Most of all, avoid being materialistic. Money, your job, it's all just a means to an end. Enjoy life, enjoy friends and family, enjoy the little things. Your dream employers can replace you in an instant. You don't matter to them.

Students today because of school: Im depressed, i can't keep up with this dumb work. Why do i need to learn this when i know i will NEVER use it? Im trying my best, i wasn't born like everyone else to do this. I like to learn something else I WANT, not math.
Insted of schools fixing this problem and students be less depressed and make them learn something they will actuelly learn, they say: Kids are so lazy nowdays, they are just on their phones all day.
YOU ARE LAZY FOR NOT FIXING THIS PROBLEM.

Rn Im trying to do my maths homework and its so hard with so many questions. Whenever I try to think of a career I would want in the future it just runs into a dead end. All my choices are unstable and dont include school. But I heard that uni is fun and something I shouldnt miss. I have years to think about it tho as Im only in my early ages of high school (just an Aussie here so Middle school for you Americans) it just gives me a headache and makes me wanna flop over and give up.

My biology teacher once said that
Your parents are working so hard, facing the world. You kids have only one thing to do and that's 'STUDY'! If you can't even do one thing nicely, what do you expect from yourself in future? Kids nowadays pretend to be 'DEPRESSED'! I don't understand, you all just have one thing to do & you feel depressed in doing just that? How will you survive outside then?
However she was trying to motivate us but it triggered all the students so much

The only class (besides math, because I'm a math person) that I actually learn and retain stuff in is chorus. Our chorus teacher actually teaches us, gets us involved, and we even go out of school for competitions. That teacher shows us the real world, and even though that teacher can get on our nerves once and a while, at least we're actually learning.
Also, I have SEVERE OCD, so I can totally say that school is doing nothing to help me heal

I have like SUPER bad anxiety. Im 14 and I still have to have a little stuffed animal in my pocket to help me at school. All Ive learned from school is how to hold my tears for 7 hours. All I can do at school is just worry and be sad. I take a lot of different medications to try and help but it just doesnt. Ive been in therapy for like 4 years. Still cant help. I dread going to school every day and cry every morning.

School is a major achievement of our modern society. It gives you basic skills and knowledge like reading, writing, calculate, express your thoughts and order them in an essay, to think critically about a topic etc. It is not only to prepare you for a job but to do basic stuff in your personal and profesional life. Little disappointed about the videos too simplitistic standpoint

I have a question, my sister seems to be doing very poorly in school mainly in math, and she seems the memorizing multiplication facts as she is in 4th grade. But the moment she does she forgets them after a bit, so is school really for her? My mom keeps pushing her and scolding and and punishing her. So is school for her?

School is not for me because I have struggled so much that I didn't get the help I needed to strive academically. Now I have a hard time doing that for myself because everyone expects me to go to school when all school has just been causing me is stress and anxiety, basically making me feel like I'm worthless.

Im currently about to start my first and last semester of university. I already tried life without college immediately after High School, but I couldnt legally work so I was kind of left with no options. I agree 100% with every statement in this video, and can admit that college is just not for me.

I hate to say but the opinion on early start times is completely false. If you're watching this video and thinking that school isn't for you because you can't wake up at 8am? then you should consider getting your sleep schedule sorted out instead of worrying about if school is right or not for you.

I've always hated school so much since I was young. I hated learning things that won't even bother helping me in the future. I'm so tired of school I don't wanna go to college but in my country if you don't have a college degree it's very hard to land a job.
