third world countries have lower average iqs because our education systems are worse. that’s a known fact.

what’s relatively unknown, though, is the damage that third world public education can do to potential potential 130+ iqs.

i myself am one such case. do you know what it’s like to go through school, the entirety of it, in zombie mode? do you know what it’s like to develop social anxiety because i could simply skip group assignments and presentations because a recovery exam awaited me at the end of each term, which i was guaranteed to pass with minimal effort? do you know what it’s like to be top of the class, and all the praises that it incurs, without ever learning to study because school wasn’t challenging enough? do you know what it’s like when every single one of your teachers is painfully apathetic to your talents because they’ve lost hope at this point?

i feel like my school system set me up to fail. for a short time near 2010, my family had the means to afford private school for me, but my father chose not to because of affirmative action for pupils from public schools to enter university. little did he know, pupils from military schools in brazil are also eligible for that, and the drop in grades necessary to pass is barely 5% if that. so it was useless in the end to keep me dumber for something that was never coming anyway.

and it just all enrages me. my teachers, my parents, the world. i can’t study now. i feel like it’s pointless. i know why it happens - i was praised for being smart without studying. it’s that simple. it’s core behaviorism stuff. and yet i can’t fix it. i can’t ever feel useful if i’m studying. feels like wasted time and effort (not even with adhd meds; it’s not a focus issue, i just don’t want to study because i can’t see the rewards at the end). because i can be smart without studying... that’s what they told me, unconsciously. it’s caught up with me at last.

I truthfully think that the idea that you have to have lots of accessories to be alternative has really just added to consumerism in subculture

I'm gonna tw for death just in case but it's more like "tw MORTALITY"

I was complaining to my friend via text about all the recent adult emails & other crap that has been draining me... and she replied:

Sorry to hear you’ve been dealing with way too much adult stuff. Only 20-30 years of adult stuff left!

I mean... I think of myself as rather friendly with the concept of death, but as the kids say, this HIT DIFFERENT 😮‍💨

Me reflecting on how my life actually turned out, as opposed to how I thought it would.

how it feels getting trapped in a sleep paralysis/false awakening loop for 40 minutes while trying to take a nap right before having to make a phone call

frightful thought: Noah could be Alice's son from the future.....like I'm just saying, time travel is genetic in this house...and his mom is allegedly a Backstreet Boys super fan? And Alice listens to the Backstreet Boys? Questionable. I'll also say, Casey Goodwin said something about "maybe that's why I'm here," so now I'm a tad paranoid about time traveling teens
