Firstly, that sucks. :/ High school is a tough time. I can't really recommend much, as I've never had that drive to do something particular, so I don't really know what you're going through. I hope it gets better though, and you get better too. Just gotta keep trying as hard as you can.
Secondly, they're not all bad. My counselor cut down my classes and meetings drastically last meeting I had with her, because I mentioned how much stress and discomfort it's been putting me under. But still, my points stand, for the most part. They're not all bad, but that doesn't mean they're good either.
I believe it was Thomas Jefferson that said, "Government, even in its best form, is a necessary evil. In it's worst form, it is an intolerable evil."
Basically, they can't be people who use (everyone I know uses something, mostly booze or prescriptions) they have to have beaten Nethack, and then only while the planets are aligned, and they have to be a merperson.
Man that sucks, I really hate when people's problems are being caused or exacerbated by the flaws in the system and in society. That's like my rage button, right there, though I don't rage often, mostly just sigh in resignation.
Hehe. I like your edits. And yeah. The hypocriticality, the unrealistic demands, the enforced sleep/recreation deprivation, and then taking away my only source of stress relief has not been pleasant to deal with.
I've also got ahem. Shy bladder syndrome. I can't pee around people. And so the urine analysis that I have to do daily aren't a minor inconvience like they are to most other people. They're like a damn monumental obstacle that I have to fight past within an hour of waking up. I just don't have the energy for this.
