you're telling me if i don't learn how to find x or the area of a triangle that i wont pass your tests. but if i don't pass your tests i wont get a diploma, if i don't get a diploma i might as well kill myself cause i'll end up alone and on the streets. be cause you can't even work at McDonald's without a high school diploma. the math they teach NO ONE remembers once they get that paper in their hand that says they survived their torture. while those that can't learn it are told "oh well{" ''try harder" "you're not even trying" i'm not trying? me staying home ripping my hair out from all the stress you cause, wanting to just float away and not deal with anything anymore because the "knowledge" you're trying to shove down my throat is too much for me to handle. "he can do it why can't you" he and i are different people, who have gone through different things, he hasn't sat in his room hearing his mother scream in agony from an abusive father, he hasn't watched his father push drugs on the streets, he hasn't watched his mother destroy herself because she blames herself for his father's death, he didn't get taken away from his family and put in an abusive foster home, and get beaten his whole life. so yea he can do it, but i'm too busy fighting my fears and the demons that haunt me to worry about the square root of 47.
