Life .....Is it pointless ?

[Trigger351]

Life is what you make of it

never be frightened to try something new

Buy a Muscelcar
go racing
Jump out of a plane
Quit ya job
Start ya own business

I know I'l never die wondering:smoka:

[Mrcoilover]

basically. be yourself and do what you do and do it well. whether it be
blowing up balloons or wearing boots to kick people in the ass all day.
It boils down to being happy and becoming what GOD knew you would
come out to be. Be successful and treat others well and that is some
food for though. thankyou carjunkies, I am done

Too bad were taught from the getgo to be automotons. Right now, im a senior in HS, and i have to must my butt to get good grades so i can get into college so that i can get a good job so taht im not poor so that when i die, there will be....money left over?

It's sad.

And if you make one little mistake when you're young, like having a 2.9 GPA instead of 3.0....heck, that could screw ya over. No these days, i feel that it's impossible to live "for the day". You can't succeed without thinking about tomorrow, next week, next year. But what is success? Having a good paying job? Well if that's true, then our society is governed by money it seems. Im being taught that not doing absolutley excellent in school, even if i try to, is being a failure. The rest of my life is going to be decided in less than nine months. Kinda seems unfair, huh? And then i get to deal with pretentious people, that act like they care, but really don't. That's including freinds, teachers, adults...

Life, it seems..is..i dont know. Pointless right now. If i die right now, will anyone care? I mean, yeah, my parents (hopefully) my ex-girlfriend, my freinds...but in the long run? They'll die, no one will really remember me.

I think i need to talk to a psychiatrist, does it seem like im OVERLY depressed?

Remember, it’s not just live for today. It’s live for today and look towards your tomorrows. The efforts you put into your life early on will come back as a benefit ten times over as you get older. You’ll need to find what makes you happy and find a way to make a life for yourself doing it. But, get all the education you can (since high school is paid for – absorb it all). The more you know, the better decisions you can make in your life.

You know, it's really a shame that you have to go to high school right at the point in your life when it seems most useless. Instead of 9th grade, 15-year-olds should have a year of trade school for some kind of manual labor at minimum wage. Then, at the end of the year, let them decide if they want to get a better education... That would be interesting.... hmmmm

I realize that when you're that young there are many other things that you'd rather be doing. It was true for me as well. However, as I've gotten older and have conversations with people who are not educated, I find them missing out on so many things. They just dont understand nuances of anything.

Understand, I when I say uneducated, I dont mean a formal education. I know many intelligent thought provoking people who never graduated from high school. However, they did educate themselves by reading and experiencing a wide variety of things.

I wish I could be home-schooled so that I could learn at my own faster rate. Oh well, looks like I'm stuck in the system. I intend to be educated for that exact reason Yogs, I don't want to constantly have to put sentneces together using (Like, Um and You know) I also want to be happy when I get a real job which requires education.

[Steel]

It's not that i dont want to go to school. Im just angry that it's so easy to do irreversable damage to your future in those 4 years, ya know?

True, You get really exposed in High School rather than at Home.

i believe that life is in fact pointless, everything you accomplish in your life is taken from you. and you fight for everything you get....whats the point in that...everyone around you is so caught up in this game of life that they will actually step on people they care about to get ahead....but then again why care about anyone......ull only lose them in the end

It may seem that way but it ain't. I'm here, so I'm gonna work hard to get what I deserve. I don't mind working hard for something. It makes you into a better person. Why care about anyone, sounds to me like a silly statement. U gotta have people that got ya back when times get rough and you gotta have theirs. Life ain't pointless, it is a an experience. People don't take things I accomplish, from me. Go out and get yours playa and enjoy what you can from life....while you are here.

i agree that there are things in life that are injoyable, but what does that mean in the end, basically ull looking at a better way of wasting time.....thats all

It's kinda like a video game. Even if the game sucks, if you beat it you feel you've accomplished something. It is about change, becoming a better person than when you started out or never thought you could be. Make a difference in someone's life other than yours.

ok, so you dont mind working hard.....but to accomplish what....so lets say u have a lot of money, cars, friends, or whatever it is that you work for, that can all be taken away from you in a split second....life is what u make of it? nah i dont think so, just because u convince yourself something can be good doesnt meany it really can, it just means ur being nieve

Sure life is pointless, if you make it that way.
Everything is what you make of it.
10% of your life is what happens to you, 90% is what you make of that 10%.
