JA – + 1 Quintillion! I am very glad I am no longer in high school, and I wish I had never had to go in the first place.
My high school class had a reunion for a significant # of years since graduation. They were supposed to have another one the next time there was a significant number, but they didn’t in the end. I asked someone what happened, and she said that they realized that it was too difficult for a lot of the girls to have to relive their high school experiences.
High school is torture. These are the worst years of your life. Life gets better after this – that’s a promise. Right now, you just have to get through it. You don’t have to feel like it’s easy or wonderful – it’s not.
Just keep reminding yourself that you are the biggest hero for getting up and going to school each day. You are accomplishing something much harder than what almost anyone in the world does each day.
A friend of mine told my daughter’s teenager that she thinks that high-school kids are the biggest hero. They have a much harder task than anyone else! No one in their right minds would willingly choose to put themselves in such a situation.
When you are an adult, you can choose the field you want to go into and you can choose your job. When you are a teenager you have no choice and you get stuck with a job that no one else would choose.
I am totally in awe of you that you keep pushing forward and going to school no matter how hard it is for you!!! You are a true hero!!! Don’t listen to the posters here who are knocking you – you are faced with a challenge that is probably much greater than anything they are faced with, and you are doing a great job!
Kol hakavod!!!!!!
