Before I begin I'll just state that I just finished school just over a month ago.
But don't get me wrong, I'm the one person that if you knew me, you knew I hated school. I hated the education system. I hated most of my peers and even other students I haven't even spoken to. I hated most teachers besides for the one or two teachers that were my personal favourites. I hated the fact that COVID took away our two most important schooling years and we were forced to absorb three years worth of information in less than one year but the education department didn't even try to make our exams a little easier or even do SOMETHING to help.
I'd go on and on about every tiny thing I hated about my school but also school in general. But right after I finished, I just couldn't help but have this silent anxiety about the real world.
In school I had a sense of control. I knew what was going to happen tomorrow. After a short while I got a gist of what my grade students were like as well as most teachers. I knew how the school worked. I knew that next year I was gonna be in a similar classroom with faces I was familiar with doing work that was slightly harder than what I was currently doing.
But out here in the real world? I know nothing. School conditioned me to live in a controlled environment, to live independently and be too afraid to ask for help but also be afraid of failure. Now I'm thrown out into a world where I don't really know what's gonna happen tomorrow. Whether I'm gonna be able to get a job to survive in this world. Yes I want to study and I know what I want to be in the future but in the position I currently am in I see no way to get there.
That's why I ask, is there anyone that wishes they could go back to school. Not even necessarily for the friends and fun, but just because you felt safer and more in control in school? Or is it just a sense of longing that I'll probably lose over time?

My Unsent Letter
Somedays are just hard no matter how much we try to make it better. Like today for me. Like this time, I always wish to go away from these people somewhere away...
Yes I felt that way too. I just didn't know what awaited me , the real world. I was not prepared for it at all .
I think that's part why you miss it. I never ever thought id miss it but I do. Your responsibilities are far less beyond school work ,home work ,then having fun for summer Winter and spring break. I don't miss the bullying because I was bullied. But I miss the good times staying up all night with friends. I made some good memories I wish I could relive. Like not me but one dude set off a bottle rocket in history class lmao. It was hilarious. Nobody was hurt of course. Anyway yes its nice to reminisce. But yeah I wish I could go back as well. Especially knowing things I know now. It was so much more a care free time.
ReplyI hated school and left when I finished third year high. I was 15 and had such a horrible home life with the nasty abusive mother I had that at 15 I left home and got a job. I have never wished to return to school as I hated it so much that it was detrimental to me.
ReplyNo one deserves that kind of life... I'm sorry you had to go through that but I hope you're living a better life now<3
