UK vs. US

is there really a compettion? Is the US even in the race? the answer: NO!

many a day i sit in my terrible highschool class rooms counting the seconds of boredom i have left in a class that is teaching me absolutly nothing.
Meanwhile........
there is a girl living in london or whatever who is the same age as me, probly has the same intrests and wants to do the same things as me.

the only difference is that shes going to have the neccesary tools to do what she wants while in america i am stuck doing what adults think is best. im not saying that adults dont have there fair share of experiances that could contribute to aiding me in my future but theres adifference between helping me and telling me.

 The biggest problem with america is that we are over parented, over taught, and overcoached.

we dont get any time as the next generation to decide what we want to do, its already decided for us. sure we can choose which college to go to, but do we really even get achoice of if we even want to go to college? Once again the answer is: NO. we have to go to college if we want to be sucessful. we have to work out or play sports. we have to be perfect or we are told that we are going to fail. what kind of encouremnet is that? except in rare occasions, we are threatened in to our decisions and we dont even realize it.

Meanwhile in london this other girl can pick which classes she wants to take based on what she actually likes there are no requirements to take physics or chemesrty or gym. she takes what she wants. also she has more freedom. if she doesnt want to do a sport because shes bad, she doesnt have to work her but off to get better, instead shes told find somthing youre good at. if shes unsure if she wants to go to "university" as they call it she gets a gap year.

a gap year is one entire year that every student gets after they graduate highschool. a year to decide. a year to be stupid. a year to travel. a year to do absolutly nothing, and inlike in america because every student does it she wont be behind the race to suceed in college or go when every one is younger than her. sound nice?
 Now, im not saying that you cant suceed in america, you can, its just faster paced and it doesnt really give you a chance to stop and enjoy your youth because you lost it some night when you were up til three in the morning trying to finish a assignement that cant be late if you want agood grade, which you do because if you dont, thats going to lower your overall grade, and then your GPA, and then lower the money you get from college. its a vicous world we live in that doesnt offer slip ups so were are taught "dont slip."

Also in England the drinking age is 18. Nuff said.

in england your treated like an adult when you really are an adult.

doesnt anyone else find it wrong that at 18 you can vote but cant have a sip of youre mom's wine in a restraunt. SO WRONG. its like hey congradulations youre offically an adult! you can vote! but if you inhale a drop of your MOM'S maragrita your in trouble, make good choices!

also in England they dont give you a pill for every ailment you have.
in merica its..
Got heartburn? take a pill
depressed? take a pill
to happy? take a pill
to mad? take a pill
to unemotional? take a pill
cant focus? take a pill
cant not focus? take a pill

i digress...

did you wonder why we have so much illness? its cause we take to much pills in gest the wrong things and are way to worried about germs.

England does have illness and alot of the same things, but we americans say go big or go home.
WE HAVE THE MOST ILLNESSS. WE AHVE THE FATTEST PEOPLE. WE HAVE THE MOST HEAVILY MEDICATED PEOPLE! WE. ARE. NUMBER. ONE........but in all of the wrong chaergories.

ask us about our economy, our healthcare, our education. see my point?

i honestly dont understand why we faught so hard to get rid of the british. honestly we would have been better of if we stayed with them. 
im not saying americas bad, weve had our moments of sucess but in my opinion. the UK is better.
