do you really hate the people who mess up their life in high school? Options

[staardust]

there's a couple of people in high school in my class who absolutely mess up their life. during lessons when we use laptops they just mess around on facebok and end up on a game for two hours doing absolute no work at all. this girl who was caught talking on msn/ichat just rolled her eyes at her friend after the teacher gave her a detention.

they're so immature and i don't even know how the hell they're going to survive when they're older.

I don't have time to be disappointed in them, because I'm too busy doing my homework for the classes they've skipped or zoned out during

I'm not going lie, I don't really care if they want to waste their time. There are some people who don't have to pay attention during lectures to pass a class and there are other people who have to pay attention or they are lost when it comes to the actual work. I don't like to make presumptions about who's who. Why would I waste my time being disappointed in someone who doesn't pay attention in class but ends up passing the class anyways?

If I had a friend who decided that she would rather sit around in her parents basement and get high all day rather then get an education or a job I would be disappointed in the wasted potential, but if she went to class and didn't pay attention that's a different scenario.
