Things going through my head, that I think should be said

If the government really cared about the children who will be our futer population, why do the adults in charge of molding the minds of these children, get prayed so little to teach them. Why does teachers not teach us how to pay our taxes and teach us to grow our talents. Why do they teach us 1+1=2, how Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1692, how 'everyone must go to school to get a job'. Why do they not teach us about liz Murray, a girl who had her parents both die of aids, her sister being beaten and raped by her grandfather, and her go from homeless to Harvard. Why do they make us read this book in a little over 1 and a half months, just to talk about it in class. From the books they make us read we learn, that if you are stuck on an island with your classmates, a few people will die. We learn that if we cant be with our true love, that we should kill ourselves. And that if you're black they you will not always be treated the same if you were white. Why cant they teach us how to live through rejection, anxiety, failure, and depression. They teach us that ever great adventure was really smart but they never tell you that most never went to school. Most social media was created by dropouts. Why do they make us do gym, yeah, I get that there is a lot of obesity in today's teens. But theres also a lot of kids suffering from mental illnesses. Some kids see themselves as not pretty enough, not skinny enough, not tall enough, not smart enough, not brave enough, not strong enough, but most of the time, they see themselves as not normal enough. Normal for teens is, having sex with you boyfriend so he stays intrested in you, boys have sex with girls then leave them to deal with the aftermath. Girls putting layers and layers of makeup just so boys would look there way. Boys look at girls breasts, butts and hips saying 'dang, that girls fine. She would look better if she lost a few pounds though' normal for teens is 'if I wear the type of cloths that everyone else is wearing, than maybe I could not stand out.' Maybe if I look and act like all the other people, i could fit in.' I've seen teachers see a kid struggling, the kid looks upset, or the lid doent talk to anyone else. They keep there hand down, scared they will say the wrong answer, or that everyone will think there question is stupid. Why can we have classes that we can just grow our pashens, gifts and ambitions. Classes that are for kids who obviously need help but they are scared to ask. I know I am young, and still in school, but I see kids every day deal with crap that is not ok. We shouldn't be memorizing things, we should be learning things. I never memorized my times tables, I only learned the tricks to help me get to that. We learn tricks to survive, the onslaught of lies about our future. We dont learn to live, we learn to sit in rows of desks, to dont talk unless called on, dont talk over people, keep you eyes on your own paper, remember when you dont know the answer pick c, close your eyes so you dont see your parents disappointed looks when they see your grades. Tern your Assignments in on time, dont forget to do you homework, even if you have to do it while you babysit, or need to do you chores. Dont let the teachers see your phone, because apparently, phones are bad and you cant think for yourself.

I want you to know, your not the only one who has a story that is almost never told. So, I know this is long you you want to do other things so, go ahead, stop listening, it's fine with me, but you just might regret it. You might think 'what's so important that this girl who does not look her age as writen this big speech down and wants to share it with the world'. Well, here Is what i have to say. Everyones story is different. Look at the people around you. There could be someone dealing with something that is to heavy for them to carry on there own. Theres people out there dealing with depression, anxiety, ADD,ADHD, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, stress disorders. That's just to name a few. There could be someone who is dealing with substance abuse, abuse at home, neglect, parents fighting, a parent not in ther life, loss of a loved one, and even not being able to do you best.

I have been there. Well, not all of those, but I have felt what you feel. I'm an empath, a person who can feel the things others feel. I could be walking down the hall and see someone crying and I will feel the same way. I feel happy when others feel happy, and I feel angry when your anger. It doesn't help that I'm what me mom calls a 'people watcher'. I know what your thinking. ' is she like a stalker?' No, im not. What I mean is when im in a public place or somewhere with a lot of people. I will watch them. I dont mean to, really. In class I'll be doing my school work and my mind will wonder and I'll be watching other kids interact with each other. Most of the time I dont relise until someone catches me looking at them.

So if your like me, and think the world should be different, tell me your storys and I will tell you mine too.
