I'm finishing my last year of high school right now and I am so excited to get out of this shit hole. Just 2 years ago I used to be like a lot of people at my school. I used to skip class to smoke weed, steal stuff and just generally be an ungrateful asshole of a teenager. It wasn't weird. 50% of my school is still like that. Just the past year though, my view of a lot of the kids I go to school with has changed dramatically. I guess I grew up.
I see kids take their parents lunch money, buy weed with it and then skip class to smoke it. There was a giant change box for charity at the front of my school. A couple of kids fucking stole it. Honestly, a quarter of the people in my school just sit in the parking lot playing hacky sack all day, when they're failing every class. I still smoke weed in the evenings sometimes and on the weekend but they've almost ruined it for me. I love to blaze cause it gets me in the mind state where I can push my ego aside but for them it's just something to do because they don't want to actually do anything.
I am honestly repulsed by this school and when I graduate and go off to university I never want to see it again. I can't help but feel for these kid's parents and how disappointed they must be. God, I hope university is better. I feel like I'm surrounded by the scum of the earth here. They are given every opportunity and they just don't give a fuck. The principals literally have to go and find people because kids will go to the school but won't actually go to class for days at a time.
Maybe I'm overreacting but I feel like I'm going to school at a prison. I honestly know tons of people who've waited till they're 16 and dropped out that day. None of them have jobs, some even still come to chill in the school parking lot and the only reason they still have a home is because their parents can't bring themselves to kick them out.

I'm glad you grew up, but for some people it takes a little while longer and then again some of them might not grow up at all. University would be perfect, for sure, as you will have kids in there that don't really give a shit but only go because Mom and Dad will pull their money if they don't go, or because they have no initiative to do something else with their lives.
No I'd say normal. Definitely normal for high school but no matter where you go, there will always be a handful of assholes that make the rest of us seem more disgusting than we really are. Remember, evil is louder than good.
