WHAT HAVE YOU DONE DUKE.
He broke my avatar
What are these acronyms Americans keep flaunting around?!
I understand your plight Toony, you want to really do your best, but you feel it's not rewarding because there are lots of people who slack off that still manage to succeed, and the world bends to their whims while ignoring the ones that work the hardest. Do I have that right?
Oh, I know the feeling. Just work harder. I know that sounds stupid but if you do your best you'll go far. Sure, others might just cruise along, but you really strived to get where you want to be (or you will/might) and that in and of itself is a good thing.

Sorry, it's just.
I've never had problems in school or anything, I always do well, even now. Very rarely would I find myself getting a B on my trimester grades. If you were to see me in public, you would be like, "Hey, that kid looks like he knows what he's doing." And if that were just the case it would be great and all, but no. My family life sucks. My parents are I don't even know. My Mother doesn't have a job and it doesn't look like she's going to get one soon. My step-Father finds odd-jobs when they're avaible, I'm pretty sure he sells drugs so we can keep our house. Speaking of my house, I live in a $800-1000? (can't rememeber) monthly mortage house that is tiny, I don't have a door to my room. The most expensive thing in my room is the computer I type on right now. Even with all of this happening to me I would be ok, but no. I live in a world that seems to run on "just passing" or "just enough" IF that. My school and the State spend so much on the humans that shouldn't be allowed to live. It's insane. I have such strong hateful feelings for these people that could look in the mirror and know that they are killing off our future. School was just like a local version. I'm surrounded by mediocracy and chaos. Kids that do poorly (80%? there's alot, even the students that do well show traits of lazyiness) are having so much attention on them that other actual "honor" students including me are deprived for doing well, yet I still DO. I wake up each morning knowing that it's always going to be the same, I'm always going to DO my BEST and others won't. Would you honestly expect a 16 year old boy to be self-discipline and a high-achiever? No you don't, oh sure all of the teachers love me, but that makes me hate it even more. Other students around me can pull off crap C's and feel good about themselves. I haven't shared my feelings about this to other students, because the outcome is easy to predict. This started happening during 8th grade when I slowly started to realize what kind of world I live in. I became desensitized, my feelings apathic. I STILL do my best in everything that I could do, it never makes me feel happy. I can play a video-game, it never makes me feel happy. I can talk with friends (the few I have), it never makes me feel happy. People around me have seen a change going on in me, no longer am I mister happy oblivious moron, but I am now a bitter, sarcastic, and miserable log. The only time you will see a smile on my face is when I laugh at the irony of my luck or when I am on Bay12, acting like an insane fool with no worries.
That is all.
I do not think you should be angry at people for not trying/caring. I weasel my way out of all the work I can, and do not take most things seriously. Why not? From what you have been saying, this constant trying your best thing is making you feel like shit. So what are you getting out of trying? You are just going to die anyways, like everyone else. Then all of your hard work will mean nothing. So do whatever.
People like you make me feel like shit.
Why is that?
...
Your philosophy is that since you're going to die, why help society?
You obviously disagree, but do you have an answer? People like me may be making the world worse for everyone, but if I'm happy, I don't really care.
