Lately, there is something that makes me overthink and I'm so confused and annoyed. Since last year, I have noticed that there's a kind of people who don't focus on somebody's attitude and virtues, instead they highlight their education and grades at school. They believe that the most essential factor of judging someone's life is if they're good or bad students at school, which I think it's totally wrong.
As I always say, we can't judge someone just because they belong in a specific group/kind of people, as every single one has their own character and habits.
To talk about myself, I am a good student at school and one of the greatests in my class and my teachers are always proud of my effort. They also say that I have a brilliant character and attitude towards everyone and that's really special. Well, I am proud of myself, too, but the educational system in my country has reached a level where everything that matters is our grades in high school and it's implying that only the best students deserve the award of a good life as adults. I don't know what they want to achieve with this and I can't say if it's right or wrong, but it makes me understand that I have to work too hard for this. At the age of 15-16 everything changes and teenagers feel like it's the end of their life, and so do I, and stress worsens the situation. Everyone expect us to be good at -literally- everything. They also say thay we should follow our dreams and try our best to be experts in what we like BUT they don't provide us with the required qualifications. For example, I wanna be a singer but we don't even have music lessons at school. How do they expect me to be an expert when they don't help me?
I think that this belief comes from school, as it focuses on subjects and grades and students don't acquire any ethical values. We, students, are under so much pressure and they put us in the position to decide what we want for the rest of our lives and this is -kind of- scaring. They make us believe that we have to assimilate everything we learn at school, if we want to be successful and have a good job when we become adults. But they forget that world needs good humans to evolve. And to be a good human, you have to be happy and proud of yourself, to have someone to boost your self-confidence. We should all realize that life is not permanent but it's the longest thing that will ever happen to us. We have to keep this in mind and try to do what makes us glad, not what others believe is good for us.
Some of you may conclude that I judge certain kinds of people, even though I just say my opinion on how some individuals think. If you have something to add, leave it on the comments and let me know if you agree with me or not.
p.s. Take my apology, I'm sorry for the honesty, but I had to get this off my chest.
I couldn't agree and relate more.. I'm literally speechless and your honesty is remarkable!!!! I feel the exact same way (You know it hihihi).How am I supposed to choose what I want to do for a living in such a young and sensitive age? I want to do what makes me happy, but people think it's wrong.I want to do what fulfills me and I want to put a lot of thought in it so that I can be happy in the future.I already know what I want to become, but when people tell me I'm not good enough (not only on the path I want to follow) it brings me down. It makes me feel worthless. Like I don't have a purpose in life.In fact I was told I didn't have a purpose in life and that hurt more than anyone could possibly think . I'm stressed . I'm struggling. I'm suffocating and no one wants to free me from my torture.Our educational system is awful. They're trying to make only the best of the students succeed. They don't care about the students who need a little extra help or who simply are not good at something. No one is good at everything. Nobody's perfect (cue Jessie J).I was always considered a good student. From my first year in school till a year ago . I'm still a good student, but with the new system I feel as if I'm not . I'm stressed. I'm pressured. I have literally no time.I don't even have time to sleep. I feel as if my life is sad. Boring. There's no meaning behind it . I'm getting depressed when I try to achieve something, but other people say I'm not good enough for it . They've made me stop believing in myself. I have no time to think anything but school and how to please others when in fact I should think how to please myself. Make myself happy. It seems like the longest time since I last was happy.All of the responsibilities make me lose myself. All that makes me happy for far too long now is music . It's the path I want to follow. It's what makes me HAPPY.How am I supposed to work on my music when I literally have no time to breathe? How am I supposed to be a happy person when the people around me literally suck the life out me? Every teacher wants us to be the best in their lesson, but they never consider the fact that we have to study for seven individual lessons every day and not just theirs. They never understand and even if they say they do, they don't. They're just pretending. :'(
ReplyDeleteI can relate on everything you said! everyone's messing up with our lives like they're theirs. and they can't understand... BUT don't fall apart cause you deserve big things and you know it! I know it's hard to believe in yourself when everyone puts you down, but we have to win in this game that's called life.
