Hey guys,

So... bad news. A couple of hours ago I got kicked off my school. I had poor grades, not because I'm stupid, just because school is uninteresting to me, that's all. I got put into a Night school class that I needed to pass or else I would get kicked off the school county.

Fast forward to today, I'm in Nightschool, doing my assignment. Well this girl gets in trouble, and the teacher makes her sit in the corner, then looks around, and commands me to hand her my book because she didn't have one. First off, I wasn't going to hand her my book, second of all, it was the last book there was. I give him a simple "no", he jokes and then commands me again, to hand over my book to her, gave him another "no"

Then he throws this bomb at me:

Teacher: You don't give her your book, I'll fail you completely.(what?)
Me: Go ahead, fucking do it, I still won't hand over my fucking book
Teacher: You either get out of my class voluntarily, or I'll call someone to take you away, which one is it?
Me: How about None of the above?

He proceeds to call the office, then say he feels threatened because I look like I'm about to fuck him up, I make things worse by telling him, "I wouldn't dirty my hands on you buddy, actually, I wouldn't even touch you with a 10 ft poll, you smell like shit, when's the last time you showered bro?" (this was true)

This got him pretty pissed and he kicked me out of night school service. Now since I can't pass my class, I know tomorrow I'll get called down to the office, and get myself kicked out, counselor warned me I had no chances left.

The reason why I'm pissed is because I can't achieve my dreams, I need to go to College for it.

My question is guys, what can I become, other than really good socially which I'm obviously working on, to make a decent buck? How do the people like Franco, Chase, make their income to be able to travel the world and go on adventures?

I'd honestly rather shoot myself, than work minimum wage...

You are pissing me off. What do you want? Show up in college, claim that you are smart, do absolutely no work, talk nasty to teachers - and then get a college diploma? Why would they keep you in college at first place, because you have such pretty eyes?

And then what after college, show the diploma to a potential employer, get a big $$$ - while doing exactly the same that you are doing right now?

That's the problem, everybody is entitled to get everything with no effort, nobody wants to do move a finger... "I have failing grades - but I am smart".... "I am really hard worker, but I don't work at all because I should have much better job". Ha!

Yes, there are lucky guys out there, who did nothing, they never had to study, yet they got it all - money, fame, girls, pretty eyes, ... The rest of us, which is pretty much everybody, have to work hard for what we got - and even then nobody will guarantee you success. The reality is, that it takes a long time to build real success (unless you of course want to sell a dope around the corner, win lottery or come up with some social media). Many times it starts with simple things like opening the book and learning new stuff .... Learning not because of that piece of paper called diploma, but because of the joy of discovering new stuff...

I was working on the, "Nice guy turned asshole" thing. You know, revamping myself. Wrong time? Or maybe I'm taking things too literally. I'll get my GED, and go to College, definitely do able.

P.S: Drexel, I don't give a fuck what Society thinks, btw, In no way was I acting thuggish, I was completely non-confrontational about it, thank you for your awesome reply.

Another P.S: It doesn't require a degree, it simply requires for me to be "seen" in College, it's a sport.

You could try not being disrespectful to the only people with the power to give you what you want, for starters. Hard to believe you're smart and have big dreams from that description you posted, so if you want something that requires a college degree, jump through the hoops like every other person. Society as a whole has zero sympathy for people with that attitude, and even more importantly, for people that act like thugs and then still expect to succeed or be taken seriously.

I find it hard to believe that I used to take issue with your posts buddy =P

DL, I'm with Drexel on this one. In either case, the nice guy or the asshole knows where to draw the line and you really don't seem to know where that line is. You were fully aware of your situation when you acted as you did so whatever the consequences are; you're taking responsibility for them.

P.S. Everybody who says that they don't give a fuck about what society thinks either really care the most, or have been rejected so much that they rebel weakly (as you seem to be doing). Living outside the social hierarchy is one thing (it's what I do), but I still am aware of the hierarchy and the people in it. You should consider this as well.

Yeah, I knew guys like that in high school.

They're all working minimum wage jobs now. So, if you want something different, it's time for a change.

You guys are completely right. I done fucked up. My views and ideas aren't what it truly means to be more asshole like. I do take things way too literally and that fucked me up.

There really is only 1 way to know where the line is, you have to cross it.

I'm sorry, DL
