Welcome to the Morning

Dearest Darling Readers,

Do you know what sucks far worse then anything our parents can ever dream up? School. But despite what we think, it isn't the books, bullies, rotten teachers/ food, and the mountains of homework that get to us, it's waking up every morning. Each morning we make up to either an alarm or our parents at some ungodly hour commanding us to wake. We then must roll out of our warm cocoons of blankets and try to shake off that encompassing sleepy feeling (no doubt because we stayed up later then we should have). It's then we move zombie like around our room, collecting clothes from the floor and throwing them on. Or if you really need it, a shower. We move so slowly in fact, no matter how early we get up, we'll never have time for a proper breakfast/ have to run to catch the bus. Or if your parents love you and drive you in, they'll be yelling at you to get a move on. Anyways we do all this, five times a week, 185 days a year to sit for six hours in a building we don't want to be in, learning things we'll almost never use, with people we cannot stand. Then when it's all finished, we return to our homes only to work on the huge amounts of homework assigned to us. When your in high-school, they give you so much work, it forces you to leave your childhood behind. No time for goofing around if you don't want to fail. But when it's all over, the school day, the homework, the projects, the sports, the extracurricular, it's time for bed. And if your parents cannot understand why it is that we teenagers go to bed so late despite how early we must rise, it's because way deep down in our subconscious, we know that tomorrow we'll have to repeat it all over again. And on the week-ends, we just can't bare to let go of the feeling of no priorities.

This is my theory on how high-school is depriving us of our happiness. Unfortunately

though, if we don't stay in it, we'll never be able to be successful. Well, you win some and you lose some. That's just how life works. Live with it.

P.S : If this isn't exactly how your mornings are, you are either very spoiled, or the shape we are looking for is a square.
