My Personal Experience High school just wasn’t for me. High school just isn’t for a lot of people, but adult society has its grasp on today’s youth, trying to manipulate them to conform to whatever they think is an acceptable teenager. They need to let it go. Although today’s teenagers are not as experienced in the ways of life, they among the smartest people in the world. Teenagers should be educated on what rights they have and how they can use them to their advantage. In my personal experience, I found a way around the system, and I believe everyone can. Because when it comes down to it, you don’t always have to choose the path that is laid out in front of you. There are other options. Now, I grew up in Garden City, I always did pretty good in school , and always considered myself a pretty contempt child, but my mother pasted away in August 1999 when I was twelve. Since then I’ve basically never respected any adult guardian figures in my life. I became severely depressed and uncontrollably rebellious. I absolutely hated going to school. I hated just being there, and I hated my teachers but mostly I despised all the happy people. I always caused as much mayhem as I could and just flat out refused to do anything. Maybe it was a lack of motivation, or maybe it was severe depression, but whatever the case I continued this way for years, despite constant reminders from my teachers of my brightness and great potential.
