Is it normal if i throw my old school books away

My old school books have occupied space in my room, they are getting torn, no one is going to use them again. My siblings have all finished school and they didn`t even use mine because we all did different courses. What can I do with them?

    If you mean textbooks, give them away or put them in the recycling

    Yes you should donate them. I believe libraries and maybe thrift stores would take them. There may be nonprofits in your area that would take them to give to people in developing countries. It would be a shame to just throw them away.

      Libraries probably not. Thrift stores yes. Goodwill too.

        The thrift shop will take them but who's going to want to read school books. School is useless anyway you should forget as much of that programming as you can.

          Then you my friend didnt go to a good enough school. People assume I went to a private school. Problem is that I went to a public school I just paid attention (well I did play doom during astronomy, but the composition of stars was easy enough to learn beforehand)

            And you just believe that everything they told you is the truth?

              There are enough idiots out there in the world where that statement could be a serious note.

    If they're not in too bad a condition, perhaps you can donate them?

      You would be surprised how many people can only read at a 3rd grade level.

        Yeah, I used to know people who graduated from college who couldn't read well and had handwriting worse than a third grader. XD

        • I don't understand how one could graduate from college without being able to read well.

            Because if you dont use it you lose it. People tend to shy away from big words to not sound intellectual.

        It always freaks me out.

    You could donate them and even if they are outdated sure someone can learn something from them.

    Since newspapers aren't delivered anymore i use the papers in my textbooks to clean windows or mirrors. As for the books i'd suggest you give them away to charity.

    You can use them as toilet paper if the quality of paper is good.

      This is what I used to do. I'd even try to steal books from the school library and burn them in the bathroom. then I'd run away and there were no cameras around so I never got caught til i lit off a bunch of M80s in the toilets.
