now how the fuck am I gonna get all of the gifted kid issues and none of the perks. I just get to second guess myself at every turn and feel either way over- or way under-qualified for every single thing ever. meanwhile all the adults in my life are telling me that I am going to singlehandedly live out all of their dreams and fix all of their problems and my peers tell me I'm not special and am, in fact, a freak and a loser. with none of the academic support! how does this even HAPPEN-

#dont rb pleade #im just. upset and ranting.#the education system in the us is so fucked up #i didnt even get identified as gifted until late middle school when the program starts to phase out because of adhd related difficulties #worth noting i also did not get resources for having adhd. i just got nothing because it Cancels Out Right. You're Not In Crisis Right.#i am several interesting and contradictory flavors of mentally ill this is so very fun i am having a great time what are you talking about #the fact that all but a select group of kids get fucked over fantastically and for years to come pisses me off so badly.#schools are run in deliberately unhealthy ways tnat encourage unsustainable work ethics and stagnant interests which are ideal for nothing-#but a corporate bottom line. even progressive schools are built on the bones of a system meant to pop out as many worker bees as possible.#so if you dont fit that mold you get shoved into the gears expeditiously and told its your fault.#no fucking shit we have a national mental health crisis. the foundation of our society is rotting and we're letting it so that we can sell #the fungus.#i am so pissed about this actually fun fact #all started because i almost started crying over being accepted to my dream school with a middling scholarship and having the heart sinking #realization that i wasnt good enough to want this because i wasnt perfect the first time.#so its either this or sink 20000 annually for a degree that might not be worth anything outside the city i get it in.#feeling so stable and normal #anyway #cw vent #raspberry rambles #once again #dont rb
