Sad state of the world

I don't get this world.

I'm thinking about my own life and the lives of those coming up now in schools everywhere and I can't figure this stuff out. For instance, what's the deal with the lack of sex education in a lot of schools? That's such a huge problem yet from my own research and life experience, most people are just told to figure it out on their own. What the hell? It's essential that everyone learn especially in teen years what their sexual organs are doing and how to manage it best to make sure they're healthy. Fudge sticks, I'm just... it's why kids drop out, point blank. They're learning more about obscure bs no one needs to know and mathematical concepts they'll never use than what's happening to them on a daily basis. I understand this much... Supposed smart people who keep the world from dipping too far into idiocy are sometimes blind to their own stupidity because they lack humility enough to see where they can possibly go wrong. Like I read somewhere, a lot of what happens in places of authority has more to do with their egos than the actual issues. So stupid. Bottom line should be the welfare of the kids, all of them, instead we blame them for being too weak to swim their way out of the mess that's created for them...

Columbine was but the beginning...

I'm seriously pissed off that seemingly everyone's hoping that the system just had a few glitches and that by ignoring the problem, it just poof vanishes and everyone goes back to business as usual. The problem is that these schools are run like factories, meant to teach kids to be obedient workers for corporate america when they get older and NOTHING MORE. Don't think, don't question, don't talk, don't have emotions, don't be human. It's so stupid. It's true too. The last thing the people in the upper crust want is a population of people who can challenge their power over them. And that's why only certain people are allowed access to certain levels of intelligence while everyone else is told to just regurgitate what they're taught from some low level silly text book so they can get a wonderful corporate job at the bottom of the ladder for the rest of their days, making just enough cash to live a mediocre life.

That's seriously the way it is. We're not expected to actually have FUN and explore our own interests, but be drones, gobble down the thoughts of those in authority, be told what to wear, what to eat, be given enough money just to spend it on whatever the corporations feed us etc... From childhood upwards, those who show those qualities of doing what they're told, just being a mindless drone, are given some kind of "reward" like a place to live in and that's it. Those who try thinking for themselves are told to take pills, told they're crazy, falsely accused because there's no one who'll care enough to question their accusation. Oh my God, I can't believe this is how things are...

College's are no different. At least at a state university, it's about conforming to corporate culture. Being smart enough to write whatever you're told to write, do whatever you're told to do, and then you'll be "rewarded" with a chance to survive by big daddy corporation who'll take care of you as long as you don't think for yourself.

I didn't expect it to be this way. In fact, I just never intended to go to college, seemed like something extra that was unnecessary, but now every job that's worth anything demands it because that's somehow an indication of someone's willingness to conform I guess. Nevermind that most people learn what they need in life outside of school.

Such as:

Hygene - how to dress, smell good, present yourself, ain't learning this at school.

Communication skills - You won't learn how to deal with kids, different races, or a dude who's slightly or totally crazy by living with and talking to a bunch of horny young adults for years.

Sex - Granted most people figure their sexual side out in either hs or college but that's not something schools generally teach since so many people disagree over what should be taught.

Basically schools groom kids not for real life survival, but for continued childhood where they're told how to live and what to do by people who are in authority over them.

That's such crap. I'll think more on this later...
