I'll tell you what I'll trade you my worries (house payments and bills, work, 4 kids, etc.) for your worries (what college should I go to, what jobs will be available in 4 to 5 years, what young girl should I try to bang next). Deal?


I'm not trying to demean your concerns, but they are pretty small compared to what you will be facing down the road. Get used to the stress, it never goes away.

Whoa! Relax! I have to say that you are taking things way too seriously. You are in HS! Senior years sucks. You can taste the freedom. College is liberating. Professors don't give a rats dupa if you are there or not it is all about you, what you want, what you want from the money you invest in the college of your choice. But you are not there yet and that is not the issue.

I'm 31 now lived the pain you are going through. I hated HS since my sophomore year. Thought it was a waste. I even spoke to my teachers and the agreed with my angle on HS. Just do your time and be thankful you don't have any responsibilities. And believe me you don't. I don't care what you think. Getting good grades yeah but big deal. Listen in class take doodles that pertain to the subject and you will pass. When I was in your shoes I would have said yeah right old man, what do you know. Well I learned that my father actually did know. He wasn't as stupid as I thought. I have to say it again. YOU ARE IN HIGH SCHOOL. Worry about a zit or if the hot girl next to you noticed you just couldn't hold back that fart anymore.

Today I worry about my Wife and two children, apt building, its mortgage, my home mortgage, two car payments, credit card payments, utilities, responsibilities at work, loosing my job, cell phone payment, cutting the grass, paying taxes, doctor visits for the children, the list goes on as many here can agree with. Just be happy you don't have to deal with things like this, YET. You are writing a screen play, WTF? I don't even have time to write a letter or a poem anymore. My photography hobby is gone, I don't take vacations anymore. I work, clean the house, feed the family work some more then go to sleep. I have issues of my own.

Let's just forget everything and get a pint of Guinness. (I'm not promoting drinking just a nice relaxing pint of strength)

This post has bothered me all night. Totally smothered all my hope.
