I agree Alec. It's something I wouldn't usually say to people still at school but you are aware of it yourself. Basically they just want you to fit in.
I was watching a documentary on Bombay Beach/Slab City and one of the kids there they were giving him a massive amount of drugs to 'calm him down' when basically he was doing what a kid does like run around and such.
And the drugs gave him this seizure and he couldn't talk or move for a while. And the neurologist was just like "oh I can't tell you to take him off the behavioural meds". And I was like "what the fuck, don't you see the damage your doing to him".
It used to be ADD when I was at school, now it's something else, but the name slips my mind right now. Basically if you don't fit in and listen to them you get diagnozed and given drugs.
What bs.
That sums it up nicely, that is an awesome awareness that not many people at your age have. But try not to get too far into the negativity of it as that can be harmful. What positive things can you do with these realizations? (just to get you thinking).
