Breaking Bad: The Local Version
My high school was weird, one of the students turned in the kid that was trying to peddle cocaine. We were a snitch school,we had guys in the hallways selling candy and energy drinks out of their backpacks. There might’ve been like five people who smoked weed on a regular basis. It was a charter school and we were project based, at least that’s what it said on the brochure. Honestly, we took more tests than projects and we lost one sport every year. It was a terrible school, full of snitches. I once chewed gum during a test and someone turned me in. I kept tabs on everyone after that. You wanna turn someone in for selling cocaine, that’s fine it wasn’t even Colombian. But you want to sell me out for double bubble? Bitch.

Why High School Isn't So Useful
School has been known to be the only gateway in life. It's seemed as it's the cure for people to achieve a career and give them an automatic scholarship into a job. Most of this is determined during high school years. These are either your worst 4 years of your life or your best 4 years of your life. This is when you try to get noticed by top colleges. Usually studying all day and trying to reward yourself with a letter that defines you. Everyone or mostly everyone aims for an A. I say mostly because I don't.
