I've noticed something: no one ever listens to me. No one ever cares about what I have to say. Lots of my teachers and a even few adults always tell me that I'm so smart, but I don't use my brain enough to realize it. I understand that I'm smart, but whenever I try to express myself in any way at all, everyone ignores me. They pretend to go along with it, but I can tell they're faking it.
Ever since I started seventh grade in school, I hated it. I just didn't see the point in doing so much work for so little in return, which was often nothing at all. All the adults I knew constantly told me that school is the most important thing in my life, but it isn't.
I started thinking of suicide when I was only 13 in eighth grade. I didn't see the point in my life anymore, since I was forced to do useless work on useless subjects that not only was I not interested in, but also would never play a roll in my life and my career, which was, as I hoped, going to involve computers and technology. I wasn't taught anything about what I want to be; instead, tons of random, irrelevant information was shoved down my throat.
I don't see the point in my life. Thirteen (or more) years of this? I won't be able to stand it. And besides, what's it all for? A piece of paper stating that I survived hell?
No, I'm not saying I'm against my education; I'm against school. In fact, here's some quotes from Albert Einstein:
"Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school."
"Imagination is more important than knowledge."
"The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education."
See? I'm not the only one who thinks this way, and neither are many other people.
If all I'm doing this for is a few people saying "you're prepared", along with
no one understanding me, then I don't see why I exist anymore.

You exist because everyone has a reason to be on this earth whether that's 13 or 90. You exist to have fun and love and feel no matter how much you feel lost or unloved or want to disappear , you always have to remember , you have a meaning , so does everyone and to at least someone that means the world . You can't be useless if you have a meaning
