"Best years of your life"

Everyone says that high school ends up being the best years of your life. The glory days. The best of the best. 

All our parents tell us "enjoy it while it lasts, you'll miss it when it's gone.." But stop and think.. What is there to enjoy? If you happen to be one of those parents that has preached the wonderful enjoyment of high school years to your teen, allow me to explain:

Have your kids ever come home miserable, tired, hungry, or agrivated? There's a reason behind that. No, not because they suffer from depression, although they might after spending all four years of their lives wasting away in a dirty classroom while learning how to find "45n-16(xy+86)=426" while watching the dirty, unmotivated kid slobber onto his graffiti covered desk. And oh, that's only first period. Next you venture through hell, aka the hallways as you pass 87 couples mating like gorillas pressed up against the lockers. A sigh of relief comes  over you as you walk into your class.. Yes, you made it through the jungle. You take your seat, and begin listening to your English teacher who happens to have a lower iq than you do. And she's 3 times your age. And boom. You have a 700 word paper to write on a book you attempted to read, but gave up on because it was so boring you assumed nailing your fingers to a wall one by one would be more enjoyable. Then there's history. A class where you listen to a sad excuse of a man talk in a monotoned voice for an hour about the Aztec Indians whom you completely forgot to bring a fuck to class for, so that you could give it. Oops. Now lunch, oh the joy. A plate full of leftover processed food from the previous week. You hold your nose so you don't have to taste it as it slides, or crawls down your throat into your stomach. By the end of the day, youre more than looking forward to walking onto the packed, filthy, loud bus full of other miserable students to make your way home. 

So next time you think about saying to your kids "high school makes up the best years of your life" remember this blog. Then, instead, say "son/daughter I'm sorry that I ship you off to the closest thing to hell on earth every day of your life"
