Advice for a highschooler.

[Torisakia]

Oh, ffs, there is no damn "system". And you haven't rose above anything, except my tolerance level.

Really so what would you call that thingy we're in, oh what's the word, the education SYSTEM, which is part of the labor SYSTEM, which creates society?

So if you've "rose above these systems", that would mean you control education and do no labor?

Seems legit.

[Alexanda]

I don't believe we have that.

It is often made up of parents, and they have the authority to make school decisions.

It can give the student influence over the school.

[The Treorai]

Well, looks like I'm going to be trampled.

What laundry detergent best gets out shoe-prints?

Dear, you're funny, charismatic, and you have a bright mind. Use it. Shout it. Rise to the top, where you deserve to be, and the say "fuck it all" and change it for yourself.

You come off as a Dark Lord of the Sith.

I like your attitude.

[Need a Name]

1. I threw away the idea of "trying" long ago, 10 years ago in-fact.
2. I don't want to be on top of anyone in my lifetime.
3. I don't care to do what i want.

Then honestly, go jump off a bridge, if you think life is so pointless, there's no need for you to be in it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. There's always a reason to live.

[Elemental North]

As you attempt to force someone to accept your view. *sigh*

2. So you want people to ignore all of functioning society? So they can never go outside, because someone will tell them what to do? Fuck that.
3. Isn't joining the group of non-conformists, conforming to something? Isn't saying you don't want to be accepted nonetheless being accepted into a similar group, doesn't conforming in anyway automatically get you kicked out of the non-conformist group and thus bullied for not accepting someones views that are now being forced on you?

Speak for yourself. what do you think your trying to do to me?

2. No, what don't you understand, I am not telling them to reject and ignore all of functioning society, just not to conform because someone tells you to, and to be yourself. it is fine if they go outside. they just shouldn't be forced to conform to do it.
3. no, there is no non-conformist group, it is a bunch of people being themselves.

That is what we are all attempting to do, I'm not simply pointing out the hypocrisy in your argument we're ALL guilty of it.

2.So if being a murderer is "myself" I shouldn't listen to the laws that say "do not kill people" but wouldn't I then be conforming?
3. You literally just defined a group; "There's no group, it's just a bunch of people." So you know...A GROUP.

Bridges are so overrated, I prefer jumping off something more flimsy, like a diving board into a pool of Jell-O.

I agree, but I don't like his attitude. and he seems to be promoting conformity, and forcing people to act like someone else just because someone tells them to.

[Allentyr]

public speaking is not high school. and nobody cares in high school. the only ones that do have more problems than you, and take it out on you. do not conform because an insecure person says so. just be yourself. if you have to, remain in the shadows, or the crowd.

You don't get it do you?

SHY PEOPLE GET NOWHERE IN LIFE. I know, I used to be one, until I came to the realization that unless I started being loud, and vocal about what I wanted, and what I felt, and who should lead, and what should be done, that I would simply be trampled over while the kids I wish I was did what I wish I could do.

Shy people get nowhere in life. Huh. Guess I'm never gonna get anywhere.

Manipulators, by default, pretend to be people's friends.
Also, you sound like you may have a mild case of sociopathy. Not trying to insult you or anything, but maybe you should look up the symptoms.

Lol, in every good politician there is a tiny sociopath at the controls.

But does anyone like politicians?
No.
A sociopath is not a good thing to be. Trust me, I have a family member who is a sociopath. She is the ultimate manipulator, has destroyed the lives of a couple of people in our family, and has no real friends. She's satisfied with herself, but no one likes her except for her blind parents who are too stupid to realise what she's been doing for the past 40+ years.

I agree. I think suicide is overrated. after all, high school is only 4 years out of 60 better ones.

Very good, that made me smile. Quite witty.

[Valentir]

I believe that sometimes we must act a little to get by, but being a manipulator and cold to everyone isn't a way to go about life, unless you have ambitions in politics.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. There's always a reason to live.

Apparently not to the people that are so filled with apathy that eating doesn't even seem to have a purpose.

Nice, telling someone to commit suicide. You must be a good friend.

Eating does have a purpose. Without it, using the word 'eated' just isn't grammatically correct.

Then you're not shy like these people, you converse with society.

I did not say don't converse with society! just don't let it make you conform! and I have a fine life, and I am shy.

So it's good to conform to laws which are basically accepted social norms?

I don't, really. I hate everyone here. Even my girlfriend is a classmate from Canada.
I don't go to public events, and I try to escape from having to come with my parents anywhere anytime I can.

[Alexanda]

I'm entering highschool soon, and I was wondering what advice NS had for me. I'd appreciate the help.

Will you be boarding or just going daily?

I like you more and more, please forgive my previous outburst. It's just apathetic people get on my nerves sometimes.

law is different from something people think your personality should be like.

Well, that's not abnormal. And hate is a strong word, don't hate. Strongly dislike.

I think we can all identify with that. Going places with parents is just icky. lol
