The Stress Of School
School used to be fun in the earlier years
I used to have fun
Now it simply houses anxiety-induced and depressed teens.
The work is no help
It just hypes up the stress
School should be a place where you learn, not just retain information
We should not be waking up early just to go somewhere to sit in classes all day long
A teens brain doesn’t really “Wake up” until around 10
Classes start at 8 sometimes 7, if you take zero hour
School is just one big popularity contest and we’re all losing
If you happen to buy expensive things, people will want to be around you
If you save your money or spend it on necessities
People tend to think that your super prepared for the “real world”
But in reality you are a anxiety ridden student
Who is developing depression
Who gets yelled at for not having a B or above
Who gets yelled at for not responding to a text that you didn’t see
And because of anxiety you keep getting thoughts that your friends just felt bad for and didn't want to be friends
And the only 2 things that help you get away from the world may be taken from you
But you put on a smile and pretend you're fine because the world is cruel
