Matty I’m not nosy with people’s personal lives so I can’t say that for sure but as I said my friend stopped self harming after it when we couldn’t do anything to stop her, so I assume others were helped too. The fact that she had said in the survey she needed help and received it shortly after from the school’s counsellors is proof enough for me that most students are given the resources and opportunities that they need by the school for help, and if they still don’t get help that’s most likely not the school’s fault. Can you find any examples that would directly fault the school for a student not getting help?

That's exactly how I feel. School "teaches" the "necessary" things that are, according to them, "what you need for a good future". A good future shouldn't mean going to school. The reason I say that: A good future to me means that you have succeeded or at least tried to do good things. A good future means you have done at least one good thing you wanted to do and a good future can start at any time. I have been told before that "I've hardly had a life" and sure I'm only 16 but I'm old enough to decide on what I want to do with MY future. A lot of my family have told me I'm "just a pathetic child who has no idea what a lot of things mean". Yes I'm telling the complete truth when I say that. They're always ordering me around and telling me I have to do certain things and that I "don't get a fucking choice because you're [me] just a child". I feel like a lot of people have turned against me in my life so far purely because of my confidence in believing in freedom and independence. A lot of people have told me that I HAVE TO go to school and get good grades and anyone who says otherwise is blindsided. I have come to realise that a lot of people have succeeded through other "methods" than going to school and getting good grades but I feel forced to go to, what will in less than a week be, college because otherwise I feel like I will have let my family down and wouldn't have lived up to what they wanted me to be although I KNOW I shouldn't have to be what someone else wants me to be. If someone could give me advice about this then please do. It would be greatly appreciated. :)

A week or so back I transferred schools and now I study at home. The whole point in this school is for students to learn and use their ability to find information and to say their opinion (you can use everything while doing the tests and you are given 3 h to do it). Where as at a regular school you are meant to learn everything by heart for a test, cheat on the test and after that forget everything which isn't helping anything.

Me too. I felt like a waste of space after being told constantly that your value as a person is dependant on your ability to pass exams, go to college, and graduate (in 4 years). I seemed to excel in every other area outside of academia, so that really chipped away at my self-esteem. To the extent that I was planning on taking my own life in my sophomore year of college. If school is not for you, It doesn't matter how hard you work, how many hours you stay up studying, getting tutoring or doing extra credit work, you will most likely always fall short. You can't force success in something you weren't made to do. Find something you're good at, be serious about it, and you'll find that you can thrive in ways you couldn't if you were spending hours in a classroom.

[@TheBakingSeal]

Fact: the Western modern system of education was created during the Industrial/Gilded Age (1870-1900) and was designed to teach children how to follow instructions as they were likely to work in factories. This system has not changed much since that time and is failing to compensate for technological, intellectual, emotional, and educational advancements

[@Dayraven15]

I just don’t pay attention anymore in school, I do the necessary things to pass but later realize school was not teaching us how the world works or allow diverse ways of learning, it was solely made to make kids/students into more intolerant obedient 🐕 that can’t even use the bathroom if the owner doesn’t let us aka teachers. I never really cared for grades too much for which i think it’s a fools game to care only on grades like all the As students and get stress if I didn’t get a grade higher than a B all the time. 🙈

It's not just outdated. It was manipulative, stifling to creativity, and was part of maintaining the wealth and power of the robber barons and the authority of the military and police.

[@Nefare1781]

@tattiboi It’s also good to use common sense when doing so - and using the technologies provided by our earthly lords instead of dusty-ass textbooks all damn day. Well-rounded doesn’t sound good. In fact - that word makes me queasy just thinking about it. If you know everything you need and WANT to know already - what’s the point in expanding the knowledge when you’ve already assured yourself you’re fine at the moment? You could learn anything you wanted and stick to that one thing your whole life and be fine. That’s what happened to one guy (his name wasn’t recorded or I dunno his name anyway). One doesn’t simply learn because they feel it is right - rather because they feel the NEED too. It’s a proven fact that people perform better while not being told what to do 7/5/9/13.

[@tmuto5119]

@@Nefare1781 ok so the textbook thing isnt accurate. Unless ure unfortunate in 1st world countries ull have a teacher using a board and explaining shit most likely or using the internet. Textbook lessons are nearly always tge last resort/ substitute lesson. And if ure talking about using ur phones that is possible but its really risky bc they can be rlly distracting especially with the internet now Also no, its good to know as much as u can so u can be prepared for life which hurdles as much as it can to ur face. Its like a head start instead of a last minute. Like would u rather learn how to for example solve problems before they come at u (or have enough exposure to them so that u hace a solid idea) so that ure more prepared or would u rather face that same problem with no idea how to solve it and have to stress start from lvl 1 when u could've done it earlier. Its called thinking ahead. And if u only learned things bc u needed to/ bc they were problems that came in ur way, ppl would be really divided bc we all lead different paths and run into different problems so do u think its best that we were separated into groups or have enough knowledge and relateability to pretty much be with anyone. Also we can't rely on kids especially teens to just learn what they think they know. They dont know what they want. They have ideas but strong or not they dont have the cognitive ability to assess them and act on them safely. We kind of just want to have fun. But for some kids they do feel the need too bc they know the significance of education and their future.

I've understood at a pretty young age that school was, on top of being not suited for me, toxic. Instead of making me learn anything Its just ended making damage on my self confidence and killed all pleasure in learning something new .. I dont know if I'am the only one that think that... but the educational system should be totally revisited to not only focus on the result but instead, focus on how can we achieve something similar with our capacity and mindset.

[@varia2354]

Agreed, and it was even worse for me since the teachers seemed to ignore my cries for help with bullying until the wish for someone to vent, someone to talk to manifested horribly and into bullying people myself, THEN the teachers did the same thing except when someone says I hurt them they made sure I was punished. But the girl who stepped on my face while I was going down the slide trying to BREAK MY GLASSES because SHE wanted to climb? Didn't even have to sit out at recess for FIVE MINUTES while I had to sit at the front just to have a chance at seeing something.

I want to be a content creator that inspires and entertains people, but I have to learn useless things and I feel that even the teachers feel bad for us, at least at my school. The only reason I’m still going is because I’m expected to be the “straight A’s” child and find a job. In elementary school, only one teacher in the entire school actually did anything to help me against my bullies and I’m almost 100% sure that I have social anxiety because of it. Honestly, my middle school was better simply because it treated us like actual people with dreams and aspirations and was so welcoming. That’s it. Besides maybe a few interesting concepts in certain classes, there’s nothing interesting or useful. I honestly just feel bad for some of the teachers at this point, they hate it as much as we do, yet they have to “follow the curriculum” so we end up stuck with it. For anyone that says I’m whining, I’m not. These are serious problems in our education system and while some have it better or worse than others, I can say as a near straight A student, that I have no motivation for school and I just wish the system would improve... I honestly don’t even know what to do with my life... animation I guess? I think it’ll be fun, but I’ll just have to see for myself. I wish you luck, we can make it! Whatever it takes...

I remember when I was in first to third grade I had such a creative mind. Every time a put a pencil to paper I would draw swirling mazes, intricate maps, and dazzling images of animals. There was this one time where I drew a blue whale and it amazed my fellow students how much detail was put into it. But my biggest creativity lied in the words I put on paper. A teacher would come up to me when I needed help on my story assignment but instead of helping she would show it to the principal and then the principal would read it to the whole school how great of a writer I was. But in fact I wasn’t a great writer at all. I just had an imagination. It turns out that once you grow up teachers would just bombard you with homework, tests, and assignments, not giving you another chance to show your creativity. And when they do give you writing assignments, they don’t incorporate any creative at all. They tell you to write about something that you don’t even want to write about. Days after days my imagination gradually faded away as I never imagined anything anymore. What was once me visualizing an image and putting it on to paper became me visualizing tests and putting words on paper only to end up failing. “You’ll do better next time” they say. I want everything to be perfect since that’s the mindset they put into me. #fixtheeducationsystem

Back then it felt like a chore, and then parents told me to practice. If you force someone to do something, it can NEVER wield out a good result. Sure, school is good to know the basics, but then there comes a point when you have enough knowledge and skill acquired to venture out in different paths on your own, and school then feels like a clamp.

At least that's what I've found. Now I'm happy painting portraits for a living.

[@winter359]

Art is difficult to teach. I had professors unconsciously say on their own "this is hard to explain" before attempting to explain a lesson... Even after 3 years of college I felt like only 5-10% of lessons were new information. 50% I already know or recap of previous class. 40% do it yourself. Which seems to only benefit the older students there for a break in their lives. I'm currently taking a leave from school. It just feels awful after spending money for college and realizing how little was useful.

[@aria8256]

It's funny that when I was in school, no matter how hard I tried, my writing skills were below average at best. But everyone told me I was creative and cheered me on. The more I aged and wanted to go towards a writing career, some gave me helpful tips and well wishes encouraging me, but most people would often ask whether its be better I had a different choice in life. Something easier and earned more money. At present, I still have my goal fixed on becoming an author, but due to some circumstances am not able to attend college (not taking into note the Covid pandemic). So I've been digging through the internet and I can honestly say, these days I'm seeing myself improve. Leaps and bounds more than before. 😏😎 Maybe school wasn't for me. But I did learn a lot of other things from it. I've met good people and horrible ones. It's a complicated topic, but it's better if not everyone has to be forced to walk down the same path in life. Some parents really need to chill. 😘

I ask this with complete respect and am not looking for an argument but how is it not true? Genuine question. Because if you look at everyone that's successful it's because they're a specialist or, in other words, good at what they do and know their subject well. And if you know your subject well you have a better advantage over people trying to compete against you trying to take your spot. Even if you don't go to college you're still gonna have to develop skills others won't be able to match otherwise you'll be a Jack of all trades but master of none.

[@kawaiiyanderlee9616]

Once you're a couple years in high school you slowly start to realize half of the things they're teaching you don't mean sh!t and will never mean sh!t to you. And the worst part of it is: it's mandatory. No matter what kind of job you want to have, if you don't forcefully learn things you will probably never see or use again, your efforts will mean nothing (I don't know if it works the same in other countries, but where I live, if you don't get high enough grades (less than 5, basically don't fail the exams or you're dead) on 3+ subjects, you have to go through that same grade all over again while all your friends move on to the next). I'm on my last year before college, I've had to put up with stuff like math, physics and all the things I don't give 3 cucumbers about ever since I started school; the basics are important, obviously, but why on Earth do they have to teach us what exponential equations are? Why dig so deep into those subjects and make them mandatory for everyone? I'm not a science person dammit! And half of my class isn't either, yet we all have to go through that. Right now we're being taught geography (fun stuff, we're on the humanities branch which is supposed to be about history, literature, art...) Pretty useful, huh? Especially because I have a passion for languages. The school system is pretty messed up and once you realize how pointless everything is there's no turning back... Things you are not supposed to care about as you grow up will affect you negatively now, and that sucks big time.

[@oscar20862086]

ScootNessMonster You do realize that many careers revolve around skills you learn in school. When you say things such as trig it gives me vibes you’re referring to high school and not college. College is more open for attendance but by skipping high school you’re in a sense stabbing yourself in the leg and blaming the knife and not yourself. Even as a soldier you still need skills in Mathematics, English, History and other core classes. I get that some classes don’t fit your needs and you would 100% do classes in which you forget the second you pass and never have to worry about again. The issue with agreeing that school is a joke is that you don’t realize school is not made for only you but many others with many career interests. Some people will find useful skills that you wouldn’t need and vice versa. Simple as that and saying school is a joke is ignorant to the idea of others and even yourself

Knowledge is power, but experience will be more valuable when you obtain it.

[@XxEveCodeEmpressxX]

Maybe pursue a degree that leads to a well-paying job first. At the end of the day, you need to find a way to get a roof over your head independently. Making comics and plushies are completely fine but it's very difficult to get recognition and gain a profit. In my opinion, it's safer to pursue those creative fields with a good back up plan. You said you're somewhat talented in drawing, perhaps you can look into fields like graphic design. Sure, it isn't as "appealing" as studying to be a doctor, engineer, etc...but it's still a degree that can make a decent living and you might enjoy studying it. This is all just my opinion. I'm currently working to get into the design program at my university all the while planning my comic when I have free time.
