Stress from school?

So up until this fall I did not go to public school. No High School, no dances, no after school activities and almost no friends. This year I started going to school again, college (Clackamas Community College if you want to be precise) even though I was only sixteen at the time (just turned seventeen a few days ago).

It was very strange to say the least, and a huge blow to my mental well-being I think. Just being around people was stressful, not to mention the fact that since I didn’t hardly go to school before I have in incredibly hard time studying. I've managed to adapt somewhat but even just the one class I'm talking is almost more then I can handle.

For better or for worse I think that school is something kids need to go through. It's not so much teaching you how to get a job and such, but it teaches you how to live and interact with people. That more then anything else is important.

I'm not saying that I'm a complete social idiot, but I'm damn close. I wouldn't be surprised if I stay reclusive like I am now. I have friends who have no problems just going up and talking to strangers and I can even imagine how that feels, whenever I have to talk to someone or someone I don't know talks to me I get really tense and I have to force myself to say anything. I don't even like going into a store if I'll be the only one in there.

Wow...just like me...seriously.

BUT, I wanna get a job where I can be pissed off and hurt people, cuz beating people's asses who deserve it is a very rewarding, and fun, activity! FUCKING POACHERS I'M GONNA METAPHORICALLY RAPE YOU AND YOUR FUCK PUNK FRIENDS!...I hope... (8.

GAHAHA! *triumph laugh* First, you will understand the triumph laugh eventually, but I cannot force such enlightenment upon you; it has to be self-gained.
Second, environment plays a very large role in a persons development. For instance, a baby can not leave a situation it is put in (normally). Another example: School is practically forced upon people, therefore it leaves very few possibilities for personal choice (choice referring to school that is).
Your psychological view is very limited, all the current psychological views are (psychological views being things like behaviorism or humanism), and you are probably not as "advanced" aka "haven't given it enough thought" to come to a proper conclusion yet. I am not putting you down or insulting you, I am just informing you that your view is a little archaic, weak, and dare I say it, incorrect.
In determining what determines a person's personality and actions, all factors need to be taken into account.

And most importantly, I AM NOT SAYING I'M BETTER THAN YOU, OR ANYONE ELSE. Now that that is out of the way, feel free to contemplate my post, or flame me, or both, if you're so inclined.

For me, if I understand the concept and can pass the test with flying colors, I don't see why I have to do problems 1 through 41276. That's my only real problem with school, I tend to leave school work at school and not do it at home

Nope, that's it. I'd be saying exactly what he said.

for me, I don't care, that's seems to be my vice, nothing ever gets to me, and if it does, I still react exactly as if it didn't. My F's never get to me, or make me pull my grades up. Pisses of the teachers royal.

well, cschool stres has lots of impacts on people, some are negative, some are somewhat positive, but i think that most of them tend to be somewhat negative. For myself, i just try to go with the flow and try not to piss every one off. Bill Cosby did say that the path to faliure was to try to please every one, but he never said anything about not pissing every one off.

yes and i'm sure you are the master of the enlightened. ahh wonderful. yes you may dare say it, though maybe you don't quite understand what a view is. an opinion and you know opinions are always different, meaning there is no correct or incorrect one. now obviously you do view yourself as being better than me because otherwise why would one say that another's views who do not match one's own, are weak and archaic. anyways, i am not talking about a baby as after all a baby is not in school and that is what i am basing it on. i was saying that once you are old enough to think for yourself you are no longer totally a bi product of your environment. there are always choices. i'm tired of people bitching and moaning about "having" to be in school. you don't have to be any where, you choose to be in school just as you choose to bitch and moan. you could always just stop your whining, just as well as you could just stop going to school.

basically, i don't believe in close to any of the crap they put in your psychology books or say they discovered. in the end i believe you shape who you are, and what you experience. it's your own choice to get mad at some comment or not. it's your own choice for feeling depressed. i don't think there is really anything out of control for the human mind and spirit. now no doubt you're going to go on with the fact that my views are archaic and what have you but that's fine cuz as i said, it would just be your opinion, not right not wrong, just an opinion and you're welcome to say it.

At school my life is great. ^_^

I have lots of friends (and enemies) and the teachers i have a preaty cool. The girls at school like me, White, Black, Puerto rican, japanese girls all like me. Its weird

the only thing i dont like in my life right now is (my hair ) and the fact that my home life has a nagging 53 year old women, who is alwayz on my case about somethin.

*and isnt it rude to walk right up to someone on the comp (like me) and tell them to get of NOW. She does that to me all the time, it pisses me off >_<*

thats about it for me.
