At least 50% of GAY PORN actors are heterosexual men who never thought they'd do this until they needed the money.

How am I supposed to enjoy my gay porn knowing the actors are being exploited

[Ashkin]

if you quit school you might be forced to take jobs that you won't like.
Like being the janitor in your high school or acting in GAY PORN.

I was wondering how long it would take.

Stay in school, kid.

Listen kid. If you can't cope with school's bullshit and rise to the top there's no way in hell you can cope with life's bullshit and rise to be anything. Plain and fucking simple. Now write that report on the renaissance and stop your childish whining.

LISTEN TO THIS OFTEN AND...

Pull up yo bootstraps kid. You won't regret it.

Doing things you need to do that you don't want to do builds character. Character gets you through life.

Posting in joke thread.

This is a joke, right? RIGHT?

[peanutbuttershoes]

Na. he's for real. But I think you know that.

[Kramlack]

Yeah, I wish I didn't though.

Standardized education systems are designed for the lowest-common denominator. That is to say, normal stupid people. Their entire purpose is to fill the heads of those stupid people with standardized knowledge that is considered essential for adults to function.

Today's education systems are woefully behind the times of technological progress and changes to modern society. They are obsolete, entrenched in dogma, and badly in need of restructuring. But that is a subject for a different time.

It is often difficult for home-schooled children to adapt to public school. Home schooling tends to be more efficient, and much more tailored to the individual needs and interests of the students. Throwing a home schooled student into a public school environment often results in everything feeling slow, frustrating, and boring.

The important take-away from going to public school is learning about human interactions. Public school is more often than not a good way to learn about a microcosm of society, and how people function towards each other. Observe the other students, observe the teachers. Practice learning everyone's names and faces. Figure out how to talk to and persuade everyone around you. If you approach public school from this perspective, it will be much more rewarding and useful to you.

I was home schooled my entire life.

Never had a day of Pre-K, Kindergarten, Elementary, Jr. High, Highschool, or anything pre-college in my life.

Though I did take a few college courses during what would have been my senior year of highschool.

They were boring. But I got all As and Bs... Except in my C++ class (I got a C. fitting right?) because I played halo during lessons and often didn't turn my homework in on time. C++ was just boring as frick.

Just go to school! Everything is twice as hard if you don't, and it takes a long time for your lack of qualifications to not matter anymore (provided the lack of qualifications doesn't close off whichever career permanently).

Edit: Also, you don't have to sit there like a lemon when everyone you know starts talking about crap they did at school. XD

I think higher education should definitely not be looked at as something you 'should do' but come on, dropping out of a secondary school? Some of the things you'll learn there will never come useful, but at least your brain will be better trained, you will be able to adapt, learn, you will learn the tools for human communication including cultural contexts and languages.

On a side note. You say you are 'wasting' your life by going to school. That you loose 9 years that could have been better spent. How much work do you put into school weekly? Because I know I will never ever have so much free time as I had in my secondary school until I retire.

Actually antymattar is pre-secondary in his country's school system:

Perhaps I didnt make this clear. In my country we have 9 grades before hight school. Im on the 8'th. (Was left behon for one year due to being severely sick)

@everybody else - The problem I currently have is not having the care to do any of the studying. I seriously dont give a damn. Like a report on the renaissance.Like anybody cares how I'm going to write that. I feel like school only wastes your time If I can learn it all at home anyway. Think about it. This will have taken about 9 years already from my, what, 80 years. thats about 1/8 of my life. Have you even seen how much cake is gone if you eat one eight?  

That's a very smart analysis, I made the same one myself as a kid - albeit minus the cake analogy.

Regardless, it's an incredibly unwise analysis and it's going to take you some years to fully understand and appreciate what you're learning right now. School is important for so much more than papers about the renaissance or whatever else you don't care about.

Stick with it if you can. If you don't, you'll kick yourself later. Hard. But maybe you need that.
