School?

Why bother with school? Seriously, you have to spend a good eight hours a day trudging into some old building filled with obnoxious children of varying ages only to come home at the end of it with a stack of homework. It's annoying, it's boring, and you actually have to put in a lot of effort. However, school is still important; if it weren't, why would your parents push it down your throat so hard? If you don't go to school, then you'll be missing out on a lot in life, so before you get all bent out of shape over the negatives that come with school, consider the positives.

Firstly, knowledge is power. If you acquire information pertaining to people, literature, history, mathematics, or other subjects, then you're a more powerful person because you can use that information with (and against) other people. For example, you have a better chance of calculating your taxes properly if you take the time to learn math, and you have a better chance of being the center of attention at a party if you know what the other people are talking about. Learn as much as you can so you can get involved in as much as you can.

Additionally, going to school helps you get into college. Yes, this is a learn so you can learn sort of thing, but you probably won't get very far unless you have at least a high school diploma on your wall. But why go to college? Why, so you can succeed, of course. Going to college helps you get a job, which helps you provide a better life for you and a family, if you choose to have one. You need to use high school as a starting point for your academic career; without it, you won't be able to make much of a living for yourself unless you're one of the few exceptions.
