High School Dropouts Options

[inlonelinessidie]

Not stupid--- Unwise.
Kind of like you.
But I'm getting the impression that you're being judgemental and not open to other opinions just to make people angry. So this could be a half-hearted debate, at most.

There is a lack of debate on this topic. It's more like a rumble lead by a very narrow minded kid who only wants to win and not hear anyone else's opinion.

yeh.... let's stop member bashing and try not to get off topic...

[inthemudhole]

Yeah, it'd probably be best if we got back on topic.

Addiction problems? Hence, drug addict? Yes, you already are too stupid to live if you are doing drugs. Why the hell are you smoking and doing heroin or whatever. You're going to end up dead, and dead. Distractions from school? Whats distracting you? Girls? Guys? Yes, great reason for you to drop out. Family problems eh. Sure, I'll leave in one or two excpetions. Like if their mom has cancer and you are her only family. Friend problems. How exactly will your friend have you drop out. Back up some statements please.

Friends problem: EXAMPLE- you and your friends don't get along because she took your boyfriend [and you've been best friends since middle school]. The more you think about this the more angrier you get. You can't focus in school and you start failing. At this piont your friend is still ignoring you. You are very frustrated and start drinking. Soon enough you get addicted to the alcohol and drink it everyday. The daily drinks are giving you a harder time concentration wtih school work. Not to mention the cost of the drinks are shrinking the your bank account balance. A couple months pass...you are broke and you're classes are F- ...now you don't even have enough money to buy lunch. Your parents can't help at all because they have to pay the insurance, car, mortage, etc. What are you gonna do? Drop Out.

Sorry about my absense. I know I wasnt missed. Back on topic.

Get new friends. Obviously if she took away your love (right, love in highschool) she isnt exactly your friend.

Love usually starts to happen in high school, actually.
But back on topic.

Maybe they CAN'T get new friends.
Ever think of that one, smartass?

[LilPiggi3]

do you know how hard it is to make new friends...if someone is like me...a shy person who is quiet as a mouse around people she don't know...how the heck do you expect someone like that to make friends?

Anybody who turns to drugs right away is pretty stupid in my mind. I would turn to someone who can help me. AKA counseling..

Again...if someone is over-protective of themselves, it would be hard for them to open up and talk about it. or what if the issue hurts way too much discuss about. I know i can't talk about my grandparent's death to people.

They cant get new friends? Tell me why they cant.

Why are loners loners?

Maybe you should toughen up a bit. Try to get more outgoing?

[MeanBastard]

Why are loners loners?

Because they are not out going enough. Or they refuse to be out going. If the loners would hang out with the other loners. They wouldn't be loners.

Definition of 'debate' via www.dictionary.com

but anyways... I can see where th5418 is coming from on some of his 'arguements'...

I too think that becoming pregnant at a young age is also 'stupid' (note that I said I think)... but then again, they end up with the consequences of what they did... I've taken note of how many people are saying that if you get pregnant at a young age, they are naive because they weren't thinking... I think that if you don't think before you act, it's stupid.. and yes I know that we're all human and that we all make mistakes... but I know that most of my mistakes were because I wasn't thinking which was pretty stupid of me... let's take for example someone cheating on you... you find out... and you ask your boyfriend/girlfriend why they did what they did... and they reply with.. "I don't know... I wasn't thinking"... wouldn't you think that that was a stupid reason to why they did what they did??

Not everything is this f*cking easy.
Maybe they're not "accepted" at school by any group, and no one wants to befriend them.

[LilPiggi3]

It not easy to be out going...because not everyone can open their mouth and say 'hi'. And sometimes it's hard for someone who is used to be independent and soft to 'toughen' up

[inlonelinessidie]

Because they are not out going enough. Or they refuse to be out going. If the loners would hang out with the other loners. They wouldn't be loners.

Oh yes because life is so easy, that everything you say will come true.

[inthemudhole]

Exactly.
Some people are just BORN shy and are lucky enough to have the friends that they have.. and once they lose/get rid of them, it's pretty damned hard for them to get more.

It's hard to overcome shyness.
Seriously, it is.
Not everyone can be out-going.
And a lot of out-going people are annoying.

[MeanBastard]

Yes, you are all right. Shyness is hard to overcome. THe answer to everything is drugs and beer and unsafe sex.

[inlonelinessidie]

Yes, you are all right. Shyness is hard to overcome. THe answer to everything is drugs and beer and unsafe sex.

When did we ever say that? We simply stated that some people turn to that. Did we ever say all?

[inthemudhole]

Yes, you are all right. Shyness is hard to overcome. THe answer to everything is drugs and beer and unsafe sex.

Once again, your sarcasm is not cute.
Stop making fun of situations that actually happen.
That's immature.

[MeanBastard]

Oh okay then. I'll rephrase. Again. You are all right. I am wrong. Thank you for bringing me into the light. Now someone close this.

[LilPiggi3]

Yes, you are all right. Shyness is hard to overcome. THe answer to everything is drugs and beer and unsafe sex.

does this mean drugs, beer, and unsafe sex are the amin reason for high school drop outs?

[inthemudhole]

^K, we're not impressed by your sarcasm, so you can stop.

[MeanBastard]

I have no idea why your sarcasm detector is going wild. But I am not being the least bit saracastic.

[inthemudhole]

It's pretty damned obvious you're being sarcastic.

does this mean drugs, beer, and unsafe sex are the amin reason for high school drop outs?

^I don't think so. There are many other reasons.

IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU LIVE.

[inlonelinessidie]

It's obvious he/she doesn't have anything else to say nor finds something to pick a fight with us about.
