The World

Why is it that we’re never taught how crazy the world is? In school they don’t teach you how to prepare for the world or how the world works. Until you’re done with school and you find yourself struggling trying to adult and struggling on how to figure out life by yourself. It’s one of the most scariest things I’ve had to do. I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. It’s like your teachers don’t tell you how much you’ll most likely struggle living paycheck to paycheck. They don’t tell you that all your bills are never ending and that they just pile up. They don’t tell you how cruel people can be. They don’t tell you that the world is a dark place and that you have to try your hardest to find the little bit of light that there may be. In fact they don’t tell you anything of that matter. What exactly are they trying to hide? Isn’t this something you want to prepare us for? There’s so many things I was taught in school that none of it I find useful. Where was a speech preparing me to having to face the worst and hardest challenges in life? Where was the math that I have to use to calculate a mortgage? Where was my interpersonal relationship skills lesson when having to deal with people. Hard people to deal with to be exact.   Where was my exam on any of these things? I understand most of this stuff you learn in college, but that’s only if it’s what you’re going to study for. And what about those that don’t go to college. They still have to deal with day-to-day problems. They still need to have a home and know how that process goes down and how the paperwork goes. It’s injustice is what it is. They send us out in the world blind when they are supposed to be preparing us for the hardest transition in our lives. Here I am still stuck, yet still trying to live. It’s never ending.
