I hated every moment of school. It was miserable from start to finish, and I wouldn’t go back if you paid me. I wish I would have thought to drop out at 16 and get my GED.

Dumb take.

I’m in my 30s and working an office job is way less stressful overall than school was. When I’m done with work, I can go home and stop thinking about it.

With school, you can never study “enough”, so its always creeping in the back of your subconscious. And good grades alone don’t cut it - you’ve also got to participate in extracurriculars and turn yourself into a trained monkey to write an “interesting enough” college essay. Oh and if you screw any of this up, your entire adult life could be ruined.

Diligent students have it way harder than office workers. Kids need our support and sympathy.
