Too Cool For School(mates)

School time is finally here! A groan/sigh of relief for me, really.

I love school. I may have a love/hate relationship with studying but I value school too much. But one thing is clear on what I hate about school: the people.

Yes. I hate them all. (Well, not really since I have a handful of friends naman)

Okay. I know I'm being too harsh but I always have a reason. A lot of people seem to hate me in school. I get made fun of, called names at, get harassed and the like there.(no physical abuse, though. Not that I recall of...yet).

I can't help but feel a bit nervous when I go back to school. I dealt with these people for one whole year and while I survived, I will always remember how I suffered emotional breakdowns at home since I couldn't take it anymore. The thought of wanting to be back in my old school was stamped in my head daily. Seriously, that's how bad things got in my current school.

A guidance counselor advised me that I shouldn't let these people get into my head. There will always be those people who'll bring you down when they know you are getting way ahead. I don't know why people like to spend their time bringing people down; they could just concentrate on being the best themselves, you know.

Also, he said I shouldn't move out of my current school because of these people. I achieved so much already. No matter how much I never thought of it, I still stayed strong and concentrated on my priorities than mind the treatment people gave me in school.

My friends also tell me that I should just think about who these people who tease me are. Most--if not all--are basically students with failing grades. Students who are malandi. Students who like to cut classes. Students who don't really have huge goals. Basically, students who will never, ever get out of this town.

So...in some sort of way, even if these people messed around with me, I still have the last laugh on them. They can say anything they want, but what do they have to bring to the table against ME? Doing drugs? Have 50 boyfriends? Repeated a grade level? Shame. Such a shame.

To all my haters in school, I salute you with my middle finger whilst greeting "Fuck You" to all of you.

As I type this sentence, the nervousness I felt about going back to school is suddenly turned into confidence and vengeance. Hahaha ;D
