High School Sucks

    With each passing day I become more and more bitter. I simply don’t like my peers. They who live in a constant state of idiocy, not giving one thought to the feelings of others, not caring about the number of people starving to death every day in other countries. No, instead they entertain themselves, by acting like a bunch of fools with serious mental defects. Whether they are or just act like idiots is debatable. It seems even the most intelligent of the members of my age group have still been tainted with ignorance and lack of consciousness and compassion. I am seriously frightened for the future, if these are the people who are to run the world, God help us all.
    Now, it should be noted that I in no way hold myself above the people I speak of. I know that I have acted just in the same idiotic manner as they, but I at least am conscious of this, and wish to change such things. I try to better myself, as a human being, as a member of society, as a living creature in the universe; my peers do not seem to have any interest in such things. I always thought that if one did not try to improve ones self then there was no reason for existence, everyone should strive to improve themselves, and through themselves the world. That is an another thing kids my age have no respect or interest in: the world. Political events don’t seem to matter, people just look past them and go back to their useless endeavors, or they make some sort of ‘smart’ political comments that they themselves don’t actually understand. My peers do seem patriotic though, and that is more or less a positive thing, although some of it is more nationalism than anything else, and to me that’s close to being as bad as racism.
    The kids with whom I attend high school have only one obvious, universal goal: impress the opposite sex. To them, this is the most important aspect of their existence, and the reason for most of their idiotic actions. That’s grade A selfish jerk behavior, and fairly shallow emotionally. In their hormone-induced rage they don’t seem to realize that there is far more to the world. With the time and money spent on their futile social actions they could be educating themselves, or trying to better the world. People starve and die in other less fortunate countries, while the kids I know are spending hundreds of dollars on CDs that are supposedly ‘art,’ and overpriced designer cloths and make up; it’s almost sickening. (Of course, I am known to do the same kind of things)
    I think that if an event along the same line and magnitude of the holocaust were to happen again, my peers wouldn’t care. They’d go on with their normal lives and not shed a tear, not devote more than a single thought to any person who was to die. They don’t think anything is important unless it happens to, or involves them. They are selfish, and uncaring, they hold no respect for life or the thoughts of another person. It’s a sad state of affairs.
    Now, I understand that through this whole thing I have been generalizing, a lot. I understand this, and I understand that there are people in the age group I speak of who are not at all like the people I’ve been describing. There are many nice, caring people in my age group, but nothing I wrote was about them. But for the most part, I have little respect for my peers. My generation is comprised almost entirely of idiots... And I, sadly, am one of them.
