I kinda agree with Shuma.

I thought that I was some kinda "Superior" person, because I somehow cared more than they did. However, it doesn't really work that way, so now I just proactively try to befriend them (unless they're that drug addict/peer pressure type of thing)

I kind of hate some of the things some of them say. EX: We watched a documentary about trekkies and me being me i enjoyed it and no one else did.(they all left at the beginning) Ok they didn’t like it. But one guy said when it was over "it shows a sad part of out country" that makes me so mad. I tried to argue that how it is any different from loving sports and being obsessed with football. I know I’m right but I couldn’t refute ant of his claims.

Edit: also i have to deal with these stupid people who think everything should be handed to them. One girl thinks she can get into bekerly with the attitude that if she wasnt there for a lessen she is excempt from a test. Or this one girl who wants to ba a peditrician but has the worst people skills ever. But there are alot of people who i kinda like.

I'm sure that 80% of your class hates you as well. Stuff like this works both ways. Only they're probably hanging out with friends instead of what you're doing.

I agree with Shuma in any case, though.

People are only as bad as you think that they are.

See thats my problem-They're all (and I do mean all, literaly) either peer-pressured goons trying to look "cool", cigeratte, drug or drink addled idiots who no-one does anything to stop, Sex whores, or just plain obnoxious and self-obssesed. I actually quite like a few people inother classes, but mine-why me?

I'm not trying to be mean, but this is pretty much completely inaccurate. Yes, all those things are useful and you can learn them in high school, but there are many other things that you can learn in high school that will also be very useful in college. Some things even more so than math and science, depending on your major. In fact, depending on your major, you might not use math and science at all in college.

That's kinda the thing. I used to think going to colledge was the end all be all. Now I kinda see that my parents and relatives are pressuring me
to go to colledge, when i might not even want to. I still have three years to decide, but for right now, I'm pretty sure i'll take a few at a
community or just not evenm go to one all together.

Like I said, i still have time to figure out, but I'm still trying to pay attention so that if I do go to colledge I'm not completely lost.

If your parents are willing to fund your college, there is really no reason for you to get ahead of yourself. Like you said, you have three years, but unless you find a solid alternative you should really look into at least a two year degree.

You could do that at a community college, then transfer to a 4-year to finish your degree. Having that education will help you in ways that you cannot even begin to imagine. You get more opportunities by going to college.

I'm also considering going to the local tech school, which lets me do normal school half day, tech school the other half.
Considering welding, carpentry, or building trade management.

But that's just the way they'll be. There isn't anything anyone can do to change that, so why try?
