I flunked out of 10th grade and subsequently dropped out, I haven’t been to school in a year, and some change. Seeing all the people I used to interact with start their senior year is fucking with me, as right now I am going nowhere with my life, I have three (or four) options, but I have no energy to pursue them.
- Get back to high school (in-person or Online)
- Get my GED
- Get a job
give up
As a trans person, I am terrified of in-person school, I was bullied before I came out, so I can’t even begin to process what might happen now. I need some time to contemplate and I will come back with my answer
Well, talking from experience of friends and what not, I’d say you seem like an intelligent person so by all means, I do think it is possible for you to achieve a career in a subject you find interesting. I am unsure how the American system works in that sense but I understand the emotions you are feeling. I think perhaps you should make sure that whatever you decide to do, don’t rush as it can make it more stressful to force yourself to achieve. Well going back to school is probably a good idea, Although it doesn’t work for everyone. I am unsure of what a GED is or its implications so take my advice with a grain of salt. Your peers, and what they think of you don’t define who you are, you’ll always be yourself! It may affect you, but it isn’t you, and that’s all you can do. But if anything is important to take into mind it is: do what you want to do and even when people try and drag you down remember that they are just looking for a reason to say something, even if you were perfect they’d find something to say to you because they are immature – they don’t grasp the reality of that we are all human. I am not entirely sure if what I have wrote is coherent. Keep well.
Thanks for the comment 42. Always good to hear from you.
Thanks! I hope I don’t come off as strange but I enjoy your blogs. You remind me of myself, and in many ways we seem to share similar interests. Of course there are differences, for one you are braver than me; you have a blog about all sorts of things, and you can talk about your emotions, very cool. I hope that, at the very least my original message still rings true, I believe it was something along the lines of, I wont forget or ignore you. I have never had a person like this on the internet before as i am always paranoid/really nervous and don’t want to make people feel uncomfortable – so if you ever do feel that way don’t feel afraid to say! – I’ve never known someone online that I haven’t known in real life in such a way. I would tell you a bit about my feelings and emotions, but i feel that would be overstepping as its not fair to dump something on someone who doesn’t give consent, and would do more to hurt you since its not exactly sunshine and roses für mich – regardless keep on being yourself! 🙂
I’m glad you enjoy my posts! Good to hear someone reads this site lol, Don’t worry you have not made me feel uncomfortable you would have found out long ago, and if you need to talk about anything that you don’t want public, my inbox is always open. Again thanks for the message(s) its great to hear from you.
