society is twisted
our futures are bricks
pulling us to the bottom of the sea
our brains are sick
but thats okay
because school matters more
than health anyway
Have you ever noticed that these days students pour so much of themselves into their schoolwork. Countless nights I’ve been up way to late trying to write just that last sentence or read just that last page. I swear these days our papers have our blood in the ink. You know the expression we put our blood sweat and tears into it? Well its really not that far off. School puts so much pressure on teens to get good grades, get into a good college, make good decisions, that they dont realize how much they are hurting young minds. Our futures are like weights tied to all of our limbs and our teachers just decided to throw us into the deep end of a pool. The worst part is that teachers and parents dont even seem to realize that our brains are becoming sick. Wastelands of knowledge self destructing just to find an escape. Everyone seems to think that if you get A’s, everything will be okay. Like an A is a special bandaid or some magic pill that makes our pain stop. But thats not the case, an A is a letter, our brains are our brains and if we hurt them by being self destructive, no A is going to fix that.
