I missed 4 days of school because I had to help take care of my mom after she had her surgery. I went back to day and got my work. Most teachers were really chill about it giving me my work and such. There is a test in Child Development, and I dont have to take it because I wasnt here to get the material.
They started going over the chapter review in class and I just sat there and listened. My book wasn't open or anything. And she starts yelling and sends me to the office to do the work I missed...I wasn't in trouble, but I felt horrible like for some reason I was caught doing somthing...even though I did nothing wrong.
I do all my work and get good grades in the class, but I feel like I'm being classified as a horrid, lying, cheating, disrespectful kind of kid, because a fair few of the school population is.
Why are we all treated the same...?
They tell us to be individuals, but treat us all like we are the same. Why punish everyone? It just baffles me. Kids that do "bad" things during class all the time get warning after warning and rarely get in trouble...but when somone who is "good" all the time does what they are suppose to and such makes a small mistake it's the end of the world and they are (well if you're like me) made to cry.
Why are we as students treated as one? When we go in the world we have to be our own person...how is treating us all the same going to help us in the long run at all?
Yea follow the rules and enforce them...but even dogs have more freedom to be themselves than students do sometimes.
I sit and watch all the time. I just don't get it...why are we so restricted...? True it's to an extent to where they can say they give us freedom, but when you look in the core they are trying to train us to be high powered machines that think the same....yea that is extreeme. But come on...if you don't pass this test you are stupid take this class and it will remediate you...point? I got little to nothing in any remediation class I had to take.
They set us to a standard....that says do not pass go with 200 do not get where you want in life.
Why not put us all in an institution where our minds are altered to be all the same.
I could go on about how I know all people are equal in society...but its not...life isn't fair...true...but why can't you at least let us be treated as our own person...
I'm so far in this thought train I've confused myself....i could keep writing for hours....
But that would be a bad idea.
Hope somday I make sense of this.

Don't ever feel bad for feeling as you do or thinking these kinds of thoughts. You ARE an individual. You're right, society wants to put us in our little molds and make us to be all the same, but hey, we are individuals and that's why we need to write to express that individualism. Never stop expressing yourself. You may get flack in return, but be smart about it. Live your individuality in your words, your dreams, and your art. Whatever way you can express your individuality, do it!
Never stop. You are BEAUTIFUL! Be a beatnik.
