Age doesn't matter



I may be 18 years of age but that does not mean I know what “skuxx is.” Or the cultural significance of “nek minnit.”
 
I go to school and I plan on actually finish it. This does not mean I am “squandering” my youth. You may have made bad choices and thus could not hang out with your friends. However, this does not mean that I wish to go clubbing with mine, or more precisely with one of my friends and her friends that I do not know. I enjoy going to school.

Now, why would I enjoy going to school instead of having a social life? Because going to school, and being among my friends who share dreams of going and doing what we love, fills me with hope that not everyone my age wishes to squander their youths drinking and partying. That even though I may not do any extra curricular activities, that I will end up better than you, and I won’t have to rely on others to support my pointless lifestyle.

In life one must choose: social life, or successful life. The social life means popularity and apparently now it means becoming famous. However the path of success allows one to travel the paths of some of the greatest people who ever existed: Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, Leonardo de Vinci, Plato, Just to name a very small few. You would have a chance at changing the world, or at least your chosen field. You will not have to live with the thought that you are the plague of modern society, walking the putrid path of those like Snooki, Paris Hilton and some other names of people I don’t know.

I am an introvert and happily so. I am not soft just because I don’t want to go clubbing and/or drinking, so don’t tell me to “harden the f**k up.”

You are not my superiors. You are simply SLAVES to this materialistic world in which we exist.

"You are pitiful isolated individuals; you are bankrupts; your role is played out. Go where you belong from now on / into the dustbin of history!" (Leon Trotsky).

I may be 18, but I am NOT a teenager.
