Hello! I'm 13 years old. I wondered for a long time if I should publish this, but in the end I decided. In short: I am disgusted by the system. Now you will say - children's work. But think about it: We get up early in the morning. We go to work / school. We soak there for 7-8 hours. We return home. We eat. We fall asleep. And everything repeats itself. I don't want to live like that. A successful person is one who has: -House -Wife (s) and children -Personal car and profession But I do not think so. For me, a successful person is one who will be remembered by all mankind for many years, not just by his children and their children. This is exactly my problem. I want to create something great, unique that no other person has thought of. Something ingenious. You will ask me why I am asking you about this problem of mine. Well, I don't know either - I just like to share. I like to tell stories and hear opinions from strangers. Let's get back to my problem. You will probably advise me to sit on .... and study. But honestly, the school does nothing but stress and humiliate, kill creativity.
Think about it: how much do you remember from school and how much do you use in life? I realize that this has already become a kind of reflection on various aspects of life, so I apologize if you are bored. It may sound ridiculous, crazy, but sometimes I feel like I'm on this Earth to change something. What I do not know. One thing is clear to me: I do not want to live the ordinary life I described to you above. Unfortunately, I don't have any talents - I can't paint, I can't sing, I can write or at least I think so, but that doesn't appeal to me. I don't like anything at all. I realize that I still have many years ahead of me, but I don't think anything will change. I have no friends. I've never had one - the only social life I lead is online, but it's not very rich either. I'm not sure if I want friends - kids my age don't think like me. I can't talk to them about these issues - so I hope to find people here with views like mine. Sometimes I feel like I'm disappointing my parents. Not that I'm a bad kid. Not that I'm a bad student - I'm excellent, although this year my success has dropped a lot. I don't think it's my fault - it's about the incompetence of teachers and the education system, but I'm not told about it.
They expect something to happen to me, and I doubt I can handle it. Even if I find a job, I will not be happy. I know it. This probably sounds too dramatic, if you've ever read it here. After all, I'm 13 - a child who thinks he's seen through life. I can write more, but I think this will bore you enough and you do not need more details. I apologize if there are spelling or punctuation errors - I tried as I wrote it. Goodbye!

You're right about school. Creative and non-standard people have no place there. They are freaks, always misunderstood and underestimated. This system needs to change. Think about it - as many people - as different. And the system treats them the same way. Namely, they - the non-standard, the different ones - will change the world. Why is it tolerated at school that you ate the textbook with the covers? So this is something written at best 2 or 3 years ago, it took the author probably 5 or more and if you add the time to publish another 1 year. This is information from more than 8 years ago, in some cases much more. Forcing young people to memorize old information is not the way, in my opinion. You have to make them think, give them freedom and most of all accept that there are different ones. From personal experience I can tell you that uniforms, equality will kill this desire in adolescents. The desire to stand out.
