I remember how fake everyone was in highschool, nevertheless i had a blast.you'd be suprised how 'REAL' highschool is. or maybe you just forgot.
But highschool being the real world?
Get real, can you imagine? A marine arrives at basic training inwhich he is questioned if he's had any real world experiences, and all he manages to list was Westlake High School as a real world experience.

were you a marine?
In high school stress was:
Grades, Girls, Parents.......a few other things so trivial they aren't worth mentioning
Adult world stress is:
Job, Boss, employees, debt, children, children's grades, keeping children alive, no sleep, fixing the house, fixing the car, debt, REAL commitments, politics.....
Those of us who are old enough to have experienced both are the only ones who can comment. I guaranty you, no adult on this board, or anywhere, would claim high-school had any semblance to "real life". None at all.
I'm still waiting for that 3 months off in the summer and the 2 week holiday over Christmas thing. And maybe I can take an "F" on my mortgage payment this month.
Yeah, and it sucked, I was y to a meeting 3 times last month and I got D-Hall.
Oh, no I didn't, I got my ass fired, my car repossessed, by house forclosed on, my wife left me, took the kids, I still got to make the C. Support payments, couldn't pay my taxes and got thrown in jail!
Same thing.
High School was real life when I was there, then college was, then the job, then marriage, then having a baby, etc. I'm not going to say that somebody isn't experiencing real life because they aren't in the same place I'm in. That's pretty arrogant and myopic.
"Real life" and "real world" experiences are two different meanings.
While we're at that, lets digress a little. Let's say someone went to summer camp and was molested by their camp counselor or went through some other trauma, does that mean that summer camp is a real world experience?
The Internet is the only thing that is real!
Spooners is the term you are looking for, I think. I know it has something to do with ing from behind. I've heard it involves animals.
Wait, my bad. I'm totally confusing O-states and O-faces.

job in highschool is getting good grades.
the boss is the teacher and the parents.
you are correct, a highschool student doesn't usually have employees.
debt? well. most highschool kids have to make do with 2 bux a day for lunch.
you are right, MOST highschool kids don't have children. but alot do. and they KNOW more about a hard life than even you. and they have to worry about raising a child while worrying about their own grades and keeping their own children alive. uh oh....guess it can be harder than you though huh?
what you 'adults' fail to realize is that age is just a number. we are all human beings and we all have stress. just because you were able to depend on mommy and daddy and now you don't doesn't mean that there aren't kids out there without the same benefits that you had.
why don't you guys go read this short book and come back here with a story about how tough your life is/was.
instead of saying how you are the only one that has perspective, why don't you take my challenge and learn what true perspective is all about and then count your blessings and THANK GOD for them.
i figure, since you think highschool can't have any semblance of real life, you must think elementary school must have been a joke. now go read and learn.

AHHHH the arrogance of youth...remember, sport, we (adults) were all your age once, and we remember being your age - you on the other hand have not yet been our age. If I could have died at age 18, before entering college, it would have been great. I would have died omniscient. I, unfortunately, entered college & learned just how truly ignorant I was. A debate on that would be pointless.
I reapeat: highschool has no semblance to real (adult) life.
I didn't say I was the only one that had perspective. Any adult would have the perspective relevent to the discussion which was taking place. Any child could not, regardess of how unfortunate or difficult their particular life experiences might have been.
Don't judge my faith.
