Some comments that I remember word-for-word.

Science Teacher:
"Don't be eager to leave High School because years from because years from looking back you will miss your time here."

Psychology Teacher:
"Once you enter the real world, you'll be wishing you to be back in High School."

English Teacher
"You'll wish you never said that when you enter the real world."

Math Teacher
"If you think High School is hard, its a walk in the park compared to college. Which is itself a walk in the park compared to life."

Just some but there were more said by other teachers aside from these in my final years in High School.

At the time in my Senior year I didn't care. But life experiences in the last several years after leaving High School really opened my eyes just to how much hypocrisy these teacher statements are.

They all state high school years are the best and we are so sheltered simply because we are "teenagers"?

OK let me tell you something. My mother grew up in poverty. As in she couldn't afford basic things such as clothing. **** she had to struggle to get food and I remember she told me her youth consisted of "going from relative to relative begging for food." She always told me how she used to envy her classmates who had complete sets of clothes, nice homes to live in, and FOOD to eat everyday. She only have like two-three pics of her childhood and I seen none from her teen years and its only in her college years do I spot a lot of pic sin her family album. Its only starting college she began to live decently enough for basic needs (and even then she had to ******* WORK to put food on the table while she attended college as opposed to most other girls in that age frame esp. in the West). Never has she stated positive things about her child hood year nor high school years and one of the things she always warn me is that her pre-adult years was one of poverty and going around begging relatives for help. She DOESN'T MISS her years before "becoming an adult and entering the real world" and she sometimes even have nightmares. I won't even dare mention much of the abuses she faced as a child namely the neglect from her family and beatings from her brothers.

So when many adults here in the United States moan and ripe about how much they miss their High School years/teen years, it already ****** me off a lot. Even more so when they state so high and mightily in such a self-righteous and self-important manner how many of us students were naive dumbfucks who don't know what we're getting into when we state we want to go into the real world and that we "don't appreciate how good and easy" we have it. Without even ******* knowing any of us outside of high school.

While I don't know any case as severe as my mother, I knew kids from High School who had to ******* work their *** off just to support their families who are struggling financially. WHILE STUDYING in school! So these teachers literally think these kids (who should having the time of their lives" to miss their high school years where they are making sacrifices for their families?******* stupid.

How about the kids who are already locked up in some sort of prison institution at least half of their time in High School such as Juvie?They're implying these kids will miss being locked up in a semi-prison when they are working?

Or they're saying that many kids who faced daily hard beatings by their dads will literally miss being in their dad's home while they were attending High School long after they left and found job elsewhere?

Any adults past their 30s who has this mentality of "you'll miss your high school years, you don't know how easy being a teen is and you'll face a rude awakening when you enter the real world as adults" are undoubtedly SHELTERED and has not experienced much, if any, in their lives. If anything I feel such adults are even hedonistic and irresponsible. Esp. if they ******* have kids-so they're saying they would rather relive their teen years, than live in the now and take care of their kids or solve their problems,etc? Not to mention rose-colored view cherry-picking view of the past failing to keep in mind of the stresses and hardships of living as a teen.

I'm even more ****** with is the hypocrisy. Almost all people who state this-esp. teachers- HAVE NOT BECOME RICH and have meager pay nor have many of them been happily married, excelled in their careers,etc. I wonder how many of them would still keep this opinion had they won the lottery when they were in college or when they started working after graduation and became millionaires? Or if they married the person of their dreams and still live up to today INCREDIBLY HAPPY marriages only found in Romance novels?

I really think they are only griping because they failed to succeed in the real world. I mean we don't hear mega successes like Bill Gates complaining how much they miss their teen/high school years?

Nevermind me putting examples of teens/kids in 3RD WORLD COUNTRIES that make the examples I put above such jokes and easy experiences. Do these teachers seriously expect us to believe everyone including kids in China working in sweatshops to have had such happy childhood and teen years they miss them and don't like the "REAL WORLD"? (HINT:They faced more of the "REAL WORLD" than most of these teachers and adults who moan and gripe ever had!).

And even among people I know who had AWESOME teen years while acknowledging they enjoyed their High School years don't necessarily want to go back and if anything even these kids who had it easy in their childhood/teen years think its a n utter joke compared to the now. To use an example, I knew a guy from High School who was an athlete and had a fun time in High School. he is now an American Soldiers and guess what-HE LOVES BEING an AMERICAN SOLDIER and thinks its much better than back in his teen years. This is just one example hahahahahahaa.

So for many adults-esp. most teachers I met who say this with a "higher than thou" aura-are IMO are bunch of SHELTERED people who don't know what its like to have been starving to death and whatnot. In fact they show such hubris when they make such a broad-brush statement-esp. when they DON'T EVEN KNOW ANY OF US outside of SCHOOL!!!!

Haven't they ever seen the school so of the Ghetttos which feature frequent violence and are such scary places that kids are really reluctant to go there? And many teens from these Ghetto neighborhoods can't wait to graduate from High School and leave from there because its just such bad and violent places?
