School is becoming a prison
I really enjoy learning, but I hate going on excurtions I hate them because none of my teachers seem to understand independence What do I have to do to prove myself? The mobility people have said that I'm compleetely capable of walking around on my own, but for some reason my teachers find it absolutely necessary to intrust me to one of the other students. In itself, there's something wrong with that.
What i find strange is that I spent all my childhood being told by my parents that I must be totally independent because no one will be around, or want to do things for me, and I get in tothe outside world only to find that what they said isn't necessarily true. What should I believe?
You have to find the balance betwene being so independent that it makes your life harder then it needs to be, or asking for so much help that you anoy people, unfortionately that's easier said then done.
Couldn't agree more with Blindguy; a balance is what you want, but especially in High School chances are you won't find it.
Galileo I'm afraid your parents lied, very few people will leave you struggle on alone, you could do worse than to give the teachers a chance...and the teachers are ensuring that they cannot be sued for neligance, should you hurt yourself on school premises.
