DON’T YOU
FUCKING DARE
TELL ME THAT SCHOOL ISN’T HARD
I KNOW YOU’RE GROWN UP
I KNOW YOU ARE MY PARENT
I KNOW YOU’VE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH THIS PART OF LIFE
BUT SCHOOL HAS GOTTEN HARDER
AND HARDER
AND HARDER
AND TEACHERS ARE UNFAIR TO ME AND ASSIGN TOO MUCH
AND THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN I AM TIRED
I CANNOT DO WORK
I CANNOT SUCCEED ON A TEST
I CANNOT FUNCTION
BECAUSE
I
AM
FUCKING
TIRED
OKAY?
My teacher today talked about how she was talking to some of her colleagues and they were asking what college kids were like (in a tone of condescension) and she stated that we have it so much harder than she ever did and deal with so much more crap.
