@@ATurtlesLife You can't even be a flight attendant without a high school diploma or a GED. Many places look at it as a pretty basic requirement because getting a high school education is free to everyone in America. Even as an adult you can get your high school diploma for free.
Exactly! How can you put someone who dropped out of middle school "to find themself" in the same category with someone who dropped out of Uni because they couldn't pay for it.
@@squipy184 For real though. She had to have been in a very privileged position to have dropped out at 13 and basically had no issues as a result of it. But I guess the point of this is to show how much variance there is in a given demographic.
That's the point though, to have different opinions and open up a conversation. They all have different experiences which makes the discussion more interesting. If they all dropped out at the same time and had the same experiences it would be a little bit boring.
Gonna give my perspective as an high school drop out. I'm a rich drop out from high school. Self taught in programming, system administration, business management, hr, etc. Recently sold my company for multiple millions. However, no matter the amount of books I've read and the experience I've accumulated (I'm in my mid 40's), I finally decided to complete my high school and currently taking an online Harvard business school course (CORe Program). Because I need it? no, not at all. I've accountants, brokers, attorneys etc to help me manage my life and I'm an excellent entrepreneur. I just felt a void, and to be honest, shame, and it was on my bucket list. Google famous high school dropouts and you will be surprised at the list of successful people. Dropping college is nothing to be ashamed off (Steve Jobs, Bill Gates for example) but dropping out of high school is kind of embarrassing, at least it was for me.
true. if you finish hs you still have some sort of back ground and if you don't finish. I'm not gonna say it's harder because you can still get a job and such, your just going to have to relie on more hard work weather then brains
I wish that at the beggining of the episode there would be an introduction of every person! Just name, age, age they dropped out and of what, college or high school! Sometimes its so hard to follow what people are saying without knowing...
Alyssa Gryson Yesss! Like a mini intro before they start because usually it helps fill the void what audience like us can actually follow along and it’ll help reduce some confusion that goes on in the comment section! That is actually a nice suggestion not going to lie. @jubileemedia
Aleks Martin wake up call for what..? for not learning as quickly as everyone else? that’s not a wake up call, that’s telling a student they’re gonna fail in life
mcrstan4eva aaa The argument that I’m putting forth is that kids who don’t know the extent of what they’re doing by not paying attention in class and not doing their work should have a wake up call so they could know. It’s not that hard to try, and most kids don’t. I’m actually in school and I see kids failing and the reason they’re failing is because they aren’t trying. The kids who “have trouble learning” adapt and figure it out as well.
@@emoswiftie7730but some students do need a wake up call. Sometimes teachers need to stress students in this manner in order for them to progress and not be REALLY stressed out later on in life
I kinda feel like Mariana's dropping out at 13 and being able to just do whatever she wanted afterwards shows she had a lot of privileges in her life. A lot of people who drop out do so because of their circumstances or because the educational system made it impossible for them. I appreciate her point of view but i was having a hard time with it.
@@KP-vg3zn I grew up in a school without teachers 🤷🏽♂️ I wanted to learn now I am about to take my masters at an ivy league so the point is u wanna learn u will learn doesn't matter who's the teacher 🤷🏽♂️
There should have been two videos made 🤦🏼♀️ high school and then college. I passed high school with flying colors but dropped college cause it was too much and felt so alone. Dropping college is totally different
Totally agree, I dropped out at the first year of college because what I was studying wasn't filling me, but I changed what I am studying and I'm as good as ever
I'm not sure how the education system works there, but I dropped out of high school (not at that age, but waaaay older) But I will definitely say that school puts a lot of pressure on kids. Starting at age 12 they have to pick which high school they wanna be and we sometimes have high schools that specify in different sub majors (I'll say) and then within the first and second year, most of has to choose what we wanna do in the future, where we want to continue study and where we want to work. Idk man at age 12 I couldn't even pick what I wanted to eat for dinner, let alone pick a job. A lot can change in those few years and if you made a mistake, you just kinda wasted a year and have to redo it. I mean even some people in their 20's still don't know what they wanted to do. So I think dropping out at 13 to "find yourself" can be pretty reasonable since you don't have all that stress and pressure on you.
“Do all homeless people think the same?” It would be nice to get insight on those who are often ignored by the public. It would give us a better understanding on aspects where the sun doesn’t shine.
@@annonymous6827 Of course everyone thinks a little different. But for other people that have been through the same thing, it's really interesting to know how others experienced or felt about it. :)
Wish it was just high school drop outs. Leaving college cuz you cant afford it is totally different then dropping out of high or middle school because of whatever reason.
good thing in the uk u have to go to school untill uni which i think is college for americans because at the end of the day your a child and which parent would let there kids drop out of school at 13
I think everyone needs to complete high school or get a GED because you can be severely limited in your options if you don't ... However I don't think finishing college is necessarily important, findig what your are passionate about and finding your calling is important. Working hard towards succeeding in your passion is even more important
Todd Shirey while I don’t find college necessary for everyone, for certain jobs when you’re applying they’re more likely to choose one applicant over another based off of both the degree and the college that degree came from.
@@alyssajoyf Sorry let me clarify, its useless for self-growth, which is what you should be pursuing higher education for. Obviously there are employers that demand a degree, even if that degree is in a completely unrelated field. It's a shame, really.
The whole “dropping out at 13 to find myself” thing bothers the absolute hell out of me. Find yourself? You don’t have legal authority to get a job, sustain a healthy living situation, or support yourself otherwise at 13.
You were asking about jobs too, well I was able to make my own money babysitting and working off the books at a pizzeria. Plenty of places will hire off the books, it's not hard to find. You could also walk dogs, mow lawns, etc. You are thinking too narrowly. Just because leaving school wasn't the best option for you at that age that doesn't mean it's the same for everyone. Also not really sure what point your trying to make with "sustain a healthy living situation" ? Unless you go a boarding school than schools don't provide that....
K E that's true I nanny and get paid under the table still even though I do not prefer it for some legal reasons. But in Ga at least, you only have to be 14 to work and be paid on the books and Publix I know hires that young. Some others probably too
@@Andrew-eg7fy this video is about dropping out of the normal school education system, not dropping out of no education at all so technically it's completely fine lol
I feel like you could really see who dropped out of college and who dropped out of high school, the difference is pretty big when it comes to dropping out to college and dropping out of hs
I understand dropping out of college but no way high school or middle school! How is dropping out of middle school even legal?! In my country its absolutely mandatory to finish middle school
Same here! School is compulsory until you're 16. Your parents can be prosecuted if you don't go to school or they have to homeschool you. Just not getting an education isn't an option.
Anathema it doesn’t. No psychologist would diagnose a 2 year old with depression. They’re barely a person. I’m sure she had gone through trauma but you need time to get a diagnosis
Imagine dropping out at 13 to figure yourself out. What are you going to figure out at 13?? What pokémon to catch?! You aren't even old enough to get a part time job!
Mariana T oooohhhh see I totally understand being homeschooled! I thought you meant you dropped out completely at 13 and it honestly kinda made me angry, at that age you can’t work or live by yourself or do anything. Knowing you were homeschooled tho makes so much more sense
I dropped out of high school because I had severe mental health issues. Now I’m about to get my diploma in youth work then head off to university. Just because you dropped out doesn’t mean your going no where in life. Some people flourish inside of the school system and some people flourish outside of it and that’s ok🥰
that's not an excuse , you say that as if those who didn't drop out are perfectly healthy physically and mentally , and if you're not you drop out immediately , my brother has severe depression yet he didn't drop out he kept going until he became a doctor , i've had many health issues as well , I used to seek professional help whenever we could afford it , if not I would deal with it myself , you can't expect the way to be as smooth as possible and give up in the first challenge and just like convince yourself that the reason others didn't give up because they were privileged enough to have a smooth way and an easy life
@@samaradashwood1491 well, mental health is not the same for everyone. Some people can handle them, others don't. I drop out high school bc I have anxiety and panic attacks. even with medical and psychological attention I could not continue high school. And my friends who also had anxiety did graduated. Its just different for everyone.
@@clouddyv i haven’t been to school since march-april it’s now august. i just can not handle it anymore interacting/socialising with people. i’m in year 8- i am 14. fortunately my mum hasn’t forced me to go back.. i just really want to switch to homeschooling online or something.. :// (i apologise if this doesn’t make sense)
I agree about having both plant-based/vegitan people in the same video as vegans. The ideologies behind the two are totally different. I think the vegans would feel not able to speak freely about what they really feel in front of the vegitans/plant-based people, because plant-based people have the same beliefs as meat-eaters. They should've done a video with just vegans.
“I was so miserable because my whole life I was trying to make other people happy.” This!!! I was basically forced to go to college and I hated it lol which is why I didn’t finished. Maybe I’ll finish when I’m wayyy older, but idk that was never priority for me 😅 I want to do things for me and my happiness for a change.
cathy xo that’s totally okay! I went though this and dropped out in my second year. Now I’m 25 and just went back this semester, and I love it! I have so much more respect for my education, and I’m doing it completely on my own terms.
I don't believe it. At 2 years old, your mind doesn't proces or understand the complexity of the world. What are you sad about. I just can't wrap my mind around it.
Ghost actually it’s much higher now due to all the new social media platforms and different paths you have now Reason a lot don’t make is because they lack the skills or they just quit early on
Next big thing it’s actually a lot harder now. There are more billionaires than ever before in history but also very very significantly less millionaires in the world. The distribution of wealth is skewing therefore statistically speaking making it more unlikely as time goes.
i just feel like some of these videos require more diversity...like there are no dropouts that went back or older men/women that could comment on how it affected them later on in life..just young adults :(
Wf Mike you are still a dropout.. at 20 you decide to go to college dropout and at 30 u decide to return. You were once a dropout that simply returned back to school to get their GED or utilize secondary education.
lack of chemicals in the brain can be diagnosed at any age. But with her it probably showed more as the physical symptoms; lethargic, sleeping a lot, won't eat, etc.
There's this book... uuugh I'll try to get you the name... it's lists nine causes of depression... While most of them are life experiences, sometimes it's purely a chemical imbalance in the brain. You ever wondered why some people go through such hard situations in life and they emerge okay. Then others ho through some seemingly "less" challenging stuff and they just crumble? The chemical imbalance was already there, it just needed something to trigger it.
yeah just like a kid that doesn’t want to eat, move, play or talk.. just like depression in adults, we just can’t imagine children having no motivation in life but it can happen
Eva Stood Work history and connections aren’t that hard (depending on where you live), and so many short term training programs and certificates are available outside of college, sometimes for free or low cost. As for health insurance and a 401k, cashiering at Whole Foods gave me that. Not nearly as exclusive as you’re making it seem. The education system wants people to think they hold the keys to every career path because they make a shitload of money off of it
Breakdown of comments: 25%- "How the hell do you find yourself at 13?" 25%- "How the hell are you diagnosed with depression at two years old?" 25%- "How the hell is a high school dropout the same as a college dropout?" Last 25%- Me asking, "How the hell have people forgotten about Shawn, the International Man of Mystery?"
Glad I wasn't the only one thinking this, lmao. Like sis, go to a community college, get an associates degree and you can still attempt to save up and go for bachelors. There was no need to just give up. And you can probably find a state school for a low price too depending where you are located. I hope she's explored all her options. Many people dont realize that it doesnt really matter where you are getting your degrees unless it's a prestigious/exceptional university. Why spend all that money to go to school in Hawaii?? Your networking matters more than your degree.
there’s a lot that goes into ‘affording’ college. I go to CC and even if you qualify for free tuition (promise program) most students still work to pay rent, pay for food, books, gas, a car, everything that goes into life. plus many support their families too. it’s mentally + logistically hard to take necessary time to focus on school when you have other struggles and need to work, and could always be more stable if you work more and spend less time on school - even if community college itself is not expensive
@@g.money888 if she could afford to go to university in Hawaii i assume she can find a way to do community, unless she or her parents have gone completely broke. Even then, you can get aid, and CC is very flexible anyways and many students work and study as well.
@@Ray03595 Speaking from personal experience (after the University I was attending dropped my scholarship due to lack of funds) I attempted to receive aid from CC and because my parents were abusive growing up and even now haven't gotten better, I am unable to receive ANY aid. So if I do take classes it's all out of my pocket. So currently I am working 80 hours a week while taking classes, and it's killing my mental health.
Kit Geeky Hey I know it’s hard right now but it will get better. I hope you have someone to talk to because I know it gets so stressful. You got this!!
I personally have a problem with believing in the same concept of any higher power on any given day..! Does this make me agnostic..? (I reserve my right to change my mind at any given moment..lol😉🤔🤗)
Education is big in my house hold...my mom dropped out of high school and my father sought out a higher education to become an electrician. They were immigrants to this country and I was a first generation American. They always pushed education on me. I feel dropping out of high school is not a good idea. I live in the Bronx, NY and I know several people who dropped out of high school and it’s hard for them to figure things out. They get jobs that are not paid well. And live to basically survive. On the other hand, dropping out of college is different. College isn’t for everyone. You are definitely more mature enough to understand if you want to continue your education for 2 or 4 more years. I’m an electrical engineer student and college and education was right for me but it’s not right for some other people. As an engineering student I see plenty of people drop out of becoming an engineer or just drop out of college completely because they experienced it and now know it is not for them. But I think getting your diploma or GED is a good thing to do. If you ever choose to go to college, you have your diploma. A lot of jobs require at least a high school diploma or even a higher education. But what gets me upset is that some people have this mentality of just working to survive....and I understand that life can be ugly and hard at times. But people should strive for success not survival.
To anyone who's thinking of dropping out- it's a decision that'll have bigger repercussions than you may think i.e-future job eligibility and income stability....look if you're really passionate about something and you've got a big opportunity in front of you which requires you to dropout then definitely go for it, but if you plan on dropping out to "find yourself" or for mental health...then I'd suggest taking time or semester off but don't drop out in a haste without some kind of counseling first
Make the most educated decision and you will reduce anxiety in your life. Transitioning out of college/high school does not have to be miserable. Prepare
@Speaking Truth you cant just "always attend," the circumstances from making decisions like that have significant impacts on your ability to got back to school later in life
I’m happy you said that I seen comments about how you can work in 13 years old but still theses works won’t keep you alive for long. You may think you can do this but I promise you you can get much better work and work you love doing. Of course if it’s health issues or you had problems in school you can drop out but don’t ever stop education yourself. Go different school or do online school/courses. Do something you love ❤️
Speaking Truth I was pressured by family and society to just go to college so I went and just did a major I didn’t like and that was a waste of a lot of time and effort and mental energy and was just traumatizing
This hurt me so badly, I dropped out a few years ago and it still hurt me. But I can say that seeing other people talking about it gave me a more open perspective of things.
You both are great and dropping out does not define you. I dropped out as well but now I'm thriving. Just make sure you both get your GED if you dont have it yet. Unless you're talking about college in that case there is really no reason to feel bad 😊
Jennifer Mascarelli Get your GED as soon as you can love. If you want to go to university you absolutely can. I recommend doing a semester in community college first if you go that route. If you want to go into a trade, you can easily do so with just a GED. Sincerely, a fellow high school drop out❤️
"I wouldnt ever force my kids to do something they didnt want to" My current scenario: 2yr old refuses to wear shoes. 5 yr old refuses to eat anything but candy. 10 yr old refuses to accept a curfew. Yeah, thats a bit easier to say than do. Truth of the matter is that minors dont know enough about the world to be autonomous. General education in highschool gives you options. It should be mandatory and a serious failure on the parents part to limit their kids like that. University is more specialized and i think a lot of kids are pushed into it when they dont have a clear interest. With mine i will advocate that they continue on and train in something after highschool. Hairdresser or organic farming or whatever. It doeant have to be university. (And if they want to do something useless like gender studies they will be paying for it themselves)
There's a difference between dropping out and not doing anything VS unenrolling from school and homeschooling in the way the child can learn best or what interests them the most. Ijs.
I dropped out of high school to go to college at 15, and I would never have done a video like this. Sure, I'm technically a drop-out, but that's not what this video is about.
@@NDCJ22 Exactly. Before I clicked, I'm thinking people who dropped out of high school or middle school and who never went back to finish in any capacity. I wanted that demographic and to see how they're doing now. They needed some ppl in their late 20s and 30s in this videos. When you're still a teen or early 20s not making a good income isn't a big deal vs when you're late 20s and things get real with having a family or other stuff. Not saying early 20s or a teen can't experience that, but ijs.
I’m kinda a schoolaholic in a way😂 but I can still so relate to this. Learning to choose your path and being okay with it changing. I had planned to go to med school for the past five years of my life. I was a chem major with biology and psych minors and was about to start shadowing doctors and studying for the MCAT as a junior in college. The problem was I was insanely unhappy and stressed. I would joke about how I will hate the next ten years of my life but then be rich so it would all be worth it. It then hit me that I don’t want to spend my whole entire 10 years of my twenties being absolutely miserable. I happened to fall in love with psychology and plan to teach that and also become a counselor/therapist. We have free counseling at our school and an amazing psych department and I have enjoyed both of those so far and everything just fell into place. I finally feel like I found my purpose. I have even been teaching chem for over a year now (I just started teaching my 3rd class) and I realized how much I love teaching I just don’t really care about this material. I can’t wait to teach psychology and I am enjoying my semester now so much more and just yesterday dropped my bio minor and my super stressful bio class because why in the hell am I getting a bio minor just to prove that I can. It was hard for me to switch and do less because it started to make me feel like I was less. I am not less though and I am still taking 4 classes as well as teaching one and studying for the GRE and I made a decision for my own mental health and happiness and not for money which I think is the strongest and smartest decision I could have made. As one of my psych professors says, “If you are living life without doing something you are passionate about, what are you doing and how are you even living?” -Eric Dodson if you want to check out his awesome RUclips channel.
I was with you until you quoted your psych professor. He sounds like a total pessimist who can’t sympathize with those who lack ambition. There’s nothing wrong with that, and if he can’t understand, he simply doesn’t understand life.
Please don’t encourage people into getting In that field 😂 my friends and already have a hard time finding a job in psych don’t encourage these impressionable kids
Pov: school is crushing your mental health and you’re not even back in it yet but just the thought sends you into a depressive spiral so you’re considering dropping out and working more and more
The education system failed me when I was in college because I was severely dyspraxic. It was really hard for me to drop out because I loved school and was a honor student.
Did you not have a person to write for you I had a friend who's was dyspraxic he couldn't use keyboards or have legible hand writing so a teacher had to write what he said in test ect.
I have grown to dislike this series, you want to have a wide variety of people so you choose vastly different circumstances and stretch the meaning of the prompt. You need a bigger selection of people or a more precise prompt.
when school costs thousands of dollars that you don't have it's hard to stay because you know you don't like being there and you'll leave with crippling debt.
Arina that’s what I’m saying. They talk like nobody could know themselves while being in school and I’m saying that some people don’t need to drop out in order to do it.
My dad never made it to high school but he was a hard working man. He gave me the kind of education he never had and now I'm now pursuing a degree in Software engineering. He is the kind of man I look up to and one who I'd like to be.
I dropped out as a pregnant teen... my daughter is the same age as I was when I was pregnant with her but she is preparing for college, senior trip and prom because as we grew up together... I’ve had ongoing conversations her entire life about the importance of education... to get it 1st as a back up and also pursue ur dreams with the money u make as a degree holding worker... btw I’m currently enrolled in school for Pharmacology! I decided I am her example even through my mistakes and cannot ever hear from her “well u never finished school”! All she knows is she can struggle as we did through the years or do things the way I say to do them and more than likely struggle significantly less! Life is full of struggles so choose ur path on how hard or not so hard you will struggle the rest of ur entire life! She chose the road with less struggle n I’m proud of her! She’s in a college prep veterinarian program where she’ll continue to study in college to be a vet with credits already established!
Beth When it comes to high school I feel as though dropping out isn’t a mature decision unless depending on the scenario. When it comes to college I understand wanting or having to drop out because there are many understandable reasons as to why people do.
They did an episode on middle ground between law enforcement officers and criminals and one with black lives matter supporters. For both episodes they said they were finding a hard time finding police
But sometimes, probably most of the time if I’m being honest, school opens doors for your future that wouldn’t be there if you dropped out. Of course it depends on your situation, but simply put high school is a necessity in today’s world and people should go to college/university if they have a good idea/motivation of what they want to do later on.
Warlock12347 definitely and we also have to realize how lucky we are to be able to attend university and get a higher education like that because a lot of people our age don’t have these opportunities...
I dropped out and now I am going to University again. It was a life lesson for me that life isn't easy(a given, but I still needed to experience it) and if you don't know your path or have a foundation, it won't work. I've learned that dropping out is more often than not just a rebellion without a cause. Do your best and finish uni, while thinking about what you enjoy and honing a FEW carefully chosen skills. This is a huge one, because most people tend to taste a lot of fields and never actually know anything.
I dropped out of high school and honestly its one of the worst decisions I've made. I'm studying to get my ged, so I can at least have a high school equivalent to get a job
I understand parents putting too much pressure on their kids and it breaking them, but at the same time, my parents' pressure and expectations of me helped me realize and fulfill my full potential. They never told me what I had to be, but they were very adamant about going to college and doing well and I think when I was 16-18 I was so focused on my social bubble and little world that I didn't have the perspective I do now to appreciate that they knew my potential and that it was important to prioritize that, even if at the time I felt like it wasn't important and I could just coast along
They should do it the opposite way to all college graduates think the same? This will be so interesting to watch considering the fact that I'm a 4 year degree graduate myself 😅🤔
The people who dropped out of college rather than highschool were much more mature and articulate. I think that shows something. You don't need college you do need highschool.
I dropped out, but immediately got my GED and a full time job. My parents supported me, and pushed me to keep working hard every day. I found a good job, now my college is completely paid for, and I’m continuing to move up in the company. I’m much happier now than I would have been forcing myself to go to a university, drowning in debt.
@@SammiCantRead Very interesting, have different denominations. I was raised in Pentecostal Church (not the strict branch) but most of family we're Baptist.
@@KP-vg3zn Catholics vs protestants is a great one. im a protestant as well. lot of people dont know catholics and christians arent the same. they call everyone christians.
Yeah I was surprised when they did the Christians Spectrum that they didn’t include anyone Catholic or Orthodox. I’d either like to do a redo of that or do one for both groups lol.
It’s too bad that people blame their problems and stuff on the school system. I get bullied, I have depression, but I care about my future and I don’t want to struggle so I power through, if you have issues learning you get help, hire tutor, ask a sibling.
I definitely feel that this should have been like more particular because as other people have said dropping out of high school and college are completely different
I feel like the bare minimum you can do is finish high school. To me there’s really no excuse why you can’t complete high school at least 🤷🏽♀️ I know people who barely even showed up to school and still managed to get their high school diploma
That just shows how worthless a HS diploma is if literally anybody can get it... So why even care for it? A GED just seems like a much easier and faster solution to showing that you can do basic math and history, just saying.
@@zrayne Yeah, but I would hope they also were including people who dropped out to get a GED instead. I'm personally in a special program where I'm still technically enrolled, but I basically have teachers I meet with somewhere like the library or whatnot. I just couldn't make myself go to school & be in a class due to my Social Anxiety Disorder {S.A.D.}, Generalized Anxiety Disorder {G.A.D.}, & the extremely bad experiences I had throughout my time in High School. The awful thing is that I actually LOVE learning, & I think I'm pretty book smart too. However, I couldn't handle everything anymore, & it took a lot to get me in this program that I'm in now. I have come to find there's a lot of people that don't understand Social Anxiety Disorder & anxiety in general. It really is a mental illness, & I'm still working on all my other mental issues.

@@poodlecupsfive I had to drop out in 2016 in 11th grade because my Mom and Dad were having relationship problems until the end of 2017, I'm planning to go to community college to get my GED.
Aye that's me in the video! I feel like I should clarify something I said since of course they couldn't put everything I said in the video for time sake. I didn't drop out at 13 to find myself, that came as a result of dropping out of the traditional school system, I was homeschooled and I graduated :) also my mom’s a teacher so she knew exactly what she was doing
I don’t think they can. Yes, depression is a chemical imbalance, but mental health diagnoses cannot really be official until during or after puberty because that’s really when hormones and certain neurotransmitters really come into effect. A 2 year old may be predisposed to have depression, but it really wouldn’t be manifested until adolescence
Hannah Bruno i had depression from ages 9-13 it’s very real, when i used to go to day programs as a kid to learn coping strategies the youngest kids i would see were like 5. it’s really interesting but it is real.
private vs public high school middle ground would be rlly interesting. i feel like there’s a lot of stereotypes of the kinds of people that go to private and public
@@nextbigthing2917 He sounds like someone who was indoctrinated as a child into believing that strict and inflexible training is the only way to learn anything. Being able to learn wherever you want whenever you want is a huge bonus, and actually rewards people who love learning. Unlike High School, which forces you to take classes slowly no matter how advanced you are at a subject.
Was very disappointed to see so many of these people wouldn't care if their kid didn't finish primary education. That's so limiting to their opportunities and is straight up bad parenting. You are supposed to want better for your kids. Throwing them out into the world without a high school degree and being perfectly okay with that is making them struggle so much more than they need to.
As a teacher, this makes me so sad. NOT that they dropped out, but the stories of their teachers (BAD ONES!) and the education system. I hope we can do better in the future!

Exactly! How can you put someone who dropped out of middle school "to find themself" in the same category with someone who dropped out of Uni because they couldn't pay for it.
@@squipy184 For real though. She had to have been in a very privileged position to have dropped out at 13 and basically had no issues as a result of it. But I guess the point of this is to show how much variance there is in a given demographic.
jungkook's thicc thighs your username omg👀👀
That's the point though, to have different opinions and open up a conversation. They all have different experiences which makes the discussion more interesting. If they all dropped out at the same time and had the same experiences it would be a little bit boring.
Gonna give my perspective as an high school drop out. I'm a rich drop out from high school. Self taught in programming, system administration, business management, hr, etc. Recently sold my company for multiple millions. However, no matter the amount of books I've read and the experience I've accumulated (I'm in my mid 40's), I finally decided to complete my high school and currently taking an online Harvard business school course (CORe Program). Because I need it? no, not at all. I've accountants, brokers, attorneys etc to help me manage my life and I'm an excellent entrepreneur. I just felt a void, and to be honest, shame, and it was on my bucket list. Google famous high school dropouts and you will be surprised at the list of successful people. Dropping college is nothing to be ashamed off (Steve Jobs, Bill Gates for example) but dropping out of high school is kind of embarrassing, at least it was for me.
They shouldn’t have put high school and college drop out together. I feel like these don’t really relate other than- they dropped out
true. if you finish hs you still have some sort of back ground and if you don't finish. I'm not gonna say it's harder because you can still get a job and such, your just going to have to relie on more hard work weather then brains
Well .. that was the point of the video after all. Wasn't it?
yep hs and college drop outs are kind of viewed violently differently
college drop out at least did "the bare minimum"
@@kotosqoposrly Not exactly, the video is supposed to show the wide ranges of views in a certain demographic but this demographic was too broad
agreed
I wish that at the beggining of the episode there would be an introduction of every person! Just name, age, age they dropped out and of what, college or high school!
Sometimes its so hard to follow what people are saying without knowing...
Alyssa Gryson Yesss! Like a mini intro before they start because usually it helps fill the void what audience like us can actually follow along and it’ll help reduce some confusion that goes on in the comment section! That is actually a nice suggestion not going to lie. @jubileemedia
Fr their responses really needed more context, most of the time I couldn't dis/agree with anything cuz I'm like "I need u to elaborate on that"
Give them privacy also. They’re putting themselves out there and talking about their personal lives that can be sensitive. What we see is enough lol
and what job they are doing now
they started doing that!
lmao the teachers that told the people that they’re going to be homeless shouldn’t be teachers tf
maybe not telling them they will be homeless, but definitely trying to give them a wake up call could help.
Aleks Martin wake up call for what..? for not learning as quickly as everyone else? that’s not a wake up call, that’s telling a student they’re gonna fail in life
welcome to america
mcrstan4eva aaa The argument that I’m putting forth is that kids who don’t know the extent of what they’re doing by not paying attention in class and not doing their work should have a wake up call so they could know. It’s not that hard to try, and most kids don’t. I’m actually in school and I see kids failing and the reason they’re failing is because they aren’t trying. The kids who “have trouble learning” adapt and figure it out as well.
@@emoswiftie7730but some students do need a wake up call. Sometimes teachers need to stress students in this manner in order for them to progress and not be REALLY stressed out later on in life
I kinda feel like Mariana's dropping out at 13 and being able to just do whatever she wanted afterwards shows she had a lot of privileges in her life. A lot of people who drop out do so because of their circumstances or because the educational system made it impossible for them. I appreciate her point of view but i was having a hard time with it.

She didn't drop out she commented saying she just got homeschooled

There should have been two videos made 🤦🏼♀️ high school and then college. I passed high school with flying colors but dropped college cause it was too much and felt so alone. Dropping college is totally different
Totally agree, I dropped out at the first year of college because what I was studying wasn't filling me, but I changed what I am studying and I'm as good as ever
My thoughts exactly!!
It's so different. This is my least favorite video cuz it's not cohesive at all
Agree.
College and grade school are two completely different things.
I would never encourage anyone to drop out of high school.

"'I dropped out when I was 13.' So I could find myself."
Yup, this is one of those videos where you take everything with a grain of salt.
yeah, that one was crazy to me because you have to be at least 16 here to dropout
I agree!! I really don’t think they should have put dropouts from High School vs. College together.
I'm not sure how the education system works there, but I dropped out of high school (not at that age, but waaaay older)
But I will definitely say that school puts a lot of pressure on kids.
Starting at age 12 they have to pick which high school they wanna be and we sometimes have high schools that specify in different sub majors (I'll say) and then within the first and second year, most of has to choose what we wanna do in the future, where we want to continue study and where we want to work.
Idk man at age 12 I couldn't even pick what I wanted to eat for dinner, let alone pick a job.
A lot can change in those few years and if you made a mistake, you just kinda wasted a year and have to redo it.
I mean even some people in their 20's still don't know what they wanted to do.
So I think dropping out at 13 to "find yourself" can be pretty reasonable since you don't have all that stress and pressure on you.
The fact that their parents allowed that ... I can’t understand it
@@AT-xd3xs Well it's probably more difficult to understand why the parents allowed that, but they must have their reasons
“Do all homeless people think the same?” It would be nice to get insight on those who are often ignored by the public. It would give us a better understanding on aspects where the sun doesn’t shine.
There's a series on BBC 3 called things not to say. They did an episode on things not to say to homeless people
Yes

I think everyone needs to complete high school or get a GED because you can be severely limited in your options if you don't ... However I don't think finishing college is necessarily important, findig what your are passionate about and finding your calling is important. Working hard towards succeeding in your passion is even more important
100% agree
College is useless for anything other than social networking... If you want to learn something take an online course, its cheaper and faster.
Todd Shirey while I don’t find college necessary for everyone, for certain jobs when you’re applying they’re more likely to choose one applicant over another based off of both the degree and the college that degree came from.
@@alyssajoyf Sorry let me clarify, its useless for self-growth, which is what you should be pursuing higher education for. Obviously there are employers that demand a degree, even if that degree is in a completely unrelated field. It's a shame, really.
@@JustTodd24 i want you to go to a surgeon who learned how to operate vie the internet. tell us how it went.
The whole “dropping out at 13 to find myself” thing bothers the absolute hell out of me. Find yourself? You don’t have legal authority to get a job, sustain a healthy living situation, or support yourself otherwise at 13.
kiarra she just got homeschooled and said she dropped out idk why
She shouldn't even be in this video.
You were asking about jobs too, well I was able to make my own money babysitting and working off the books at a pizzeria. Plenty of places will hire off the books, it's not hard to find. You could also walk dogs, mow lawns, etc. You are thinking too narrowly. Just because leaving school wasn't the best option for you at that age that doesn't mean it's the same for everyone. Also not really sure what point your trying to make with "sustain a healthy living situation" ? Unless you go a boarding school than schools don't provide that....
K E that's true I nanny and get paid under the table still even though I do not prefer it for some legal reasons. But in Ga at least, you only have to be 14 to work and be paid on the books and Publix I know hires that young. Some others probably too
@@Andrew-eg7fy this video is about dropping out of the normal school education system, not dropping out of no education at all so technically it's completely fine lol

elaborate on this?
Based on how articulate they are.
I understand dropping out of college but no way high school or middle school! How is dropping out of middle school even legal?! In my country its absolutely mandatory to finish middle school
Same here! School is compulsory until you're 16. Your parents can be prosecuted if you don't go to school or they have to homeschool you. Just not getting an education isn't an option.
in my country you have to go to school till 18
lillustpotion u have to be emancipated where I’m from to drop out of high school or ur parents have to sign something
Same. Here it is required by law to go to school until you are at least 16 or in grade 10.
It is illegal in the us to drop out before 16 but I’m pretty sure that girl was actually home schooled not just like completely dropped out
“I was diagnosed with depression when I was 2 years old”

Anathema it doesn’t. No psychologist would diagnose a 2 year old with depression. They’re barely a person. I’m sure she had gone through trauma but you need time to get a diagnosis

I dropped out of high school because I had severe mental health issues. Now I’m about to get my diploma in youth work then head off to university. Just because you dropped out doesn’t mean your going no where in life. Some people flourish inside of the school system and some people flourish outside of it and that’s ok🥰

that's not an excuse , you say that as if those who didn't drop out are perfectly healthy physically and mentally , and if you're not you drop out immediately , my brother has severe depression yet he didn't drop out he kept going until he became a doctor , i've had many health issues as well , I used to seek professional help whenever we could afford it , if not I would deal with it myself , you can't expect the way to be as smooth as possible and give up in the first challenge and just like convince yourself that the reason others didn't give up because they were privileged enough to have a smooth way and an easy life

How is a 2yo diagnosed with depression? No judgement, serious question
lack of chemicals in the brain can be diagnosed at any age. But with her it probably showed more as the physical symptoms; lethargic, sleeping a lot, won't eat, etc.
There's this book... uuugh I'll try to get you the name... it's lists nine causes of depression... While most of them are life experiences, sometimes it's purely a chemical imbalance in the brain. You ever wondered why some people go through such hard situations in life and they emerge okay. Then others ho through some seemingly "less" challenging stuff and they just crumble? The chemical imbalance was already there, it just needed something to trigger it.

Glad I wasn't the only one thinking this, lmao. Like sis, go to a community college, get an associates degree and you can still attempt to save up and go for bachelors. There was no need to just give up. And you can probably find a state school for a low price too depending where you are located. I hope she's explored all her options. Many people dont realize that it doesnt really matter where you are getting your degrees unless it's a prestigious/exceptional university. Why spend all that money to go to school in Hawaii?? Your networking matters more than your degree.
there’s a lot that goes into ‘affording’ college. I go to CC and even if you qualify for free tuition (promise program) most students still work to pay rent, pay for food, books, gas, a car, everything that goes into life. plus many support their families too. it’s mentally + logistically hard to take necessary time to focus on school when you have other struggles and need to work, and could always be more stable if you work more and spend less time on school - even if community college itself is not expensive
@@g.money888 if she could afford to go to university in Hawaii i assume she can find a way to do community, unless she or her parents have gone completely broke. Even then, you can get aid, and CC is very flexible anyways and many students work and study as well.
@@Ray03595 Speaking from personal experience (after the University I was attending dropped my scholarship due to lack of funds) I attempted to receive aid from CC and because my parents were abusive growing up and even now haven't gotten better, I am unable to receive ANY aid.

Education is big in my house hold...my mom dropped out of high school and my father sought out a higher education to become an electrician. They were immigrants to this country and I was a first generation American. They always pushed education on me. I feel dropping out of high school is not a good idea. I live in the Bronx, NY and I know several people who dropped out of high school and it’s hard for them to figure things out. They get jobs that are not paid well. And live to basically survive.
On the other hand, dropping out of college is different. College isn’t for everyone. You are definitely more mature enough to understand if you want to continue your education for 2 or 4 more years. I’m an electrical engineer student and college and education was right for me but it’s not right for some other people. As an engineering student I see plenty of people drop out of becoming an engineer or just drop out of college completely because they experienced it and now know it is not for them.
But I think getting your diploma or GED is a good thing to do. If you ever choose to go to college, you have your diploma. A lot of jobs require at least a high school diploma or even a higher education. But what gets me upset is that some people have this mentality of just working to survive....and I understand that life can be ugly and hard at times. But people should strive for success not survival.
i agree
ok
To anyone who's thinking of dropping out- it's a decision that'll have bigger repercussions than you may think i.e-future job eligibility and income stability....look if you're really passionate about something and you've got a big opportunity in front of you which requires you to dropout then definitely go for it, but if you plan on dropping out to "find yourself" or for mental health...then I'd suggest taking time or semester off but don't drop out in a haste without some kind of counseling first
Make the most educated decision and you will reduce anxiety in your life. Transitioning out of college/high school does not have to be miserable. Prepare
This right here is the correct answer
@Speaking Truth you cant just "always attend," the circumstances from making decisions like that have significant impacts on your ability to got back to school later in life
I’m happy you said that I seen comments about how you can work in 13 years old but still theses works won’t keep you alive for long. You may think you can do this but I promise you you can get much better work and work you love doing. Of course if it’s health issues or you had problems in school you can drop out but don’t ever stop education yourself. Go different school or do online school/courses. Do something you love ❤️
Speaking Truth I was pressured by family and society to just go to college so I went and just did a major I didn’t like and that was a waste of a lot of time and effort and mental energy and was just traumatizing
damn this video was a reminder of how grateful i am to have the teachers i do.
This hurt me so badly, I dropped out a few years ago and it still hurt me.
But I can say that seeing other people talking about it gave me a more open perspective of things.
I feel the same too. I can never get over the feelings of guilt and shame and lagging behind in life
You both are great and dropping out does not define you. I dropped out as well but now I'm thriving. Just make sure you both get your GED if you dont have it yet. Unless you're talking about college in that case there is really no reason to feel bad 😊

My current scenario:

Yeah, thats a bit easier to say than do.
Truth of the matter is that minors dont know enough about the world to be autonomous. General education in highschool gives you options. It should be mandatory and a serious failure on the parents part to limit their kids like that.
University is more specialized and i think a lot of kids are pushed into it when they dont have a clear interest. With mine i will advocate that they continue on and train in something after highschool. Hairdresser or organic farming or whatever. It doeant have to be university.
(And if they want to do something useless like gender studies they will be paying for it themselves)

eyyy im adhd this would be fun
There's a difference between dropping out and not doing anything VS unenrolling from school and homeschooling in the way the child can learn best or what interests them the most. Ijs.
As a drop out i completely agree with this message.
Exactly that's what the "I dipped out at 13 y/o" girl did and I'm sitting here thinking why is she even in this video
I dropped out of high school to go to college at 15, and I would never have done a video like this. Sure, I'm technically a drop-out, but that's not what this video is about.
@@karstynmcdaniel Unknown. I wish we knew more about them.
@@NDCJ22 Exactly. Before I clicked, I'm thinking people who dropped out of high school or middle school and who never went back to finish in any capacity. I wanted that demographic and to see how they're doing now. They needed some ppl in their late 20s and 30s in this videos. When you're still a teen or early 20s not making a good income isn't a big deal vs when you're late 20s and things get real with having a family or other stuff. Not saying early 20s or a teen can't experience that, but ijs.
education is such a privilege, it would be interesting to see dropouts talk with people who are quite literally risking their lives to be in school.
Luna: I was diagnosed with depression at 2yrs old.

How tf do you get diagnosed with depression at 2 years old

I’m kinda a schoolaholic in a way😂 but I can still so relate to this. Learning to choose your path and being okay with it changing. I had planned to go to med school for the past five years of my life. I was a chem major with biology and psych minors and was about to start shadowing doctors and studying for the MCAT as a junior in college. The problem was I was insanely unhappy and stressed. I would joke about how I will hate the next ten years of my life but then be rich so it would all be worth it. It then hit me that I don’t want to spend my whole entire 10 years of my twenties being absolutely miserable. I happened to fall in love with psychology and plan to teach that and also become a counselor/therapist. We have free counseling at our school and an amazing psych department and I have enjoyed both of those so far and everything just fell into place. I finally feel like I found my purpose. I have even been teaching chem for over a year now (I just started teaching my 3rd class) and I realized how much I love teaching I just don’t really care about this material. I can’t wait to teach psychology and I am enjoying my semester now so much more and just yesterday dropped my bio minor and my super stressful bio class because why in the hell am I getting a bio minor just to prove that I can. It was hard for me to switch and do less because it started to make me feel like I was less. I am not less though and I am still taking 4 classes as well as teaching one and studying for the GRE and I made a decision for my own mental health and happiness and not for money which I think is the strongest and smartest decision I could have made. As one of my psych professors says, “If you are living life without doing something you are passionate about, what are you doing and how are you even living?” -Eric Dodson if you want to check out his awesome RUclips channel.
I was with you until you quoted your psych professor. He sounds like a total pessimist who can’t sympathize with those who lack ambition. There’s nothing wrong with that, and if he can’t understand, he simply doesn’t understand life.
This is completely true. I have friends who are biological sciences major and their able to put up with the workload because they love the subject
@@aus-li the quote says nothing about ambition though, you don't have to be ambitious to engage in things you're passionate about
k m Ambition and passion usually go together. If you’re ambitious in general, you usually have to be passionate about your ideal goal.
Please don’t encourage people into getting In that field 😂 my friends and already have a hard time finding a job in psych don’t encourage these impressionable kids
Pov: school is crushing your mental health and you’re not even back in it yet but just the thought sends you into a depressive spiral so you’re considering dropping out and working more and more

The education system failed me when I was in college because I was severely dyspraxic. It was really hard for me to drop out because I loved school and was a honor student.
Did you not have a person to write for you I had a friend who's was dyspraxic he couldn't use keyboards or have legible hand writing so a teacher had to write what he said in test ect.

I'm asking because I don't know. What does dyspraxic mean?
@@shirleytatha8189 it's similar to autism but it affects motor skills.
I have grown to dislike this series, you want to have a wide variety of people so you choose vastly different circumstances and stretch the meaning of the prompt. You need a bigger selection of people or a more precise prompt.
They talk like you can’t figure yourself out while being in school... you don’t need to drop out in order to know yourself.
when school costs thousands of dollars that you don't have it's hard to stay because you know you don't like being there and you'll leave with crippling debt.
@@ATurtlesLife true
Seems like some people do. Not everyone is like you, you know that?
Arina that’s what I’m saying. They talk like nobody could know themselves while being in school and I’m saying that some people don’t need to drop out in order to do it.

My dad never made it to high school but he was a hard working man. He gave me the kind of education he never had and now I'm now pursuing a degree in Software engineering. He is the kind of man I look up to and one who I'd like to be.
I dropped out as a pregnant teen... my daughter is the same age as I was when I was pregnant with her but she is preparing for college, senior trip and prom because as we grew up together... I’ve had ongoing conversations her entire life about the importance of education... to get it 1st as a back up and also pursue ur dreams with the money u make as a degree holding worker... btw I’m currently enrolled in school for Pharmacology! I decided I am her example even through my mistakes and cannot ever hear from her “well u never finished school”! All she knows is she can struggle as we did through the years or do things the way I say to do them and more than likely struggle significantly less! Life is full of struggles so choose ur path on how hard or not so hard you will struggle the rest of ur entire life! She chose the road with less struggle n I’m proud of her! She’s in a college prep veterinarian program where she’ll continue to study in college to be a vet with credits already established!
mad respect to you for this
You are setting a great example for your daughter and sound like a strong woman, Keep pushing mama, much love ❤️❤️❤️
"Do children of divorce think the same"

Same
Woohoo college dropouts unite! Lmao 😂
shouldve been two different episodes, high school dropouts and college dropouts.
I respectfully disagree with dropping out.
Why?
of high school, college or both?
Beth I agree with you if your talking about high school but college no
Beth When it comes to high school I feel as though dropping out isn’t a mature decision unless depending on the scenario. When it comes to college I understand wanting or having to drop out because there are many understandable reasons as to why people do.
@frenchie high school is free and why even go to college if you won't be able afford it
Please do: Do all Homophobics think the same?
wigconic homophobes*
Yesss
And invite religious ppl from all the Ibrahamic faiths , maybe you'll understand our point of view.
Yeah because people are going to be willingly coming here to expose themselves.. where’s your logic?
i don't think anybody self-identifies as a 'homophobe'; it's more disagreement than a phobia.
“Do all police officers think the same?”
They did an episode on middle ground between law enforcement officers and criminals and one with black lives matter supporters. For both episodes they said they were finding a hard time finding police
This video shows that school doesn't make or break your future.
You do.
Lol and people break the possibility of achieving more when the drop out
Lauren Hogan as a dropout myself, I have to say I disagree with you and you sound misinformed.
But sometimes, probably most of the time if I’m being honest, school opens doors for your future that wouldn’t be there if you dropped out. Of course it depends on your situation, but simply put high school is a necessity in today’s world and people should go to college/university if they have a good idea/motivation of what they want to do later on.
Warlock12347 definitely and we also have to realize how lucky we are to be able to attend university and get a higher education like that because a lot of people our age don’t have these opportunities...
Absolutely not true.
I dropped out and now I am going to University again. It was a life lesson for me that life isn't easy(a given, but I still needed to experience it) and if you don't know your path or have a foundation, it won't work. I've learned that dropping out is more often than not just a rebellion without a cause. Do your best and finish uni, while thinking about what you enjoy and honing a FEW carefully chosen skills. This is a huge one, because most people tend to taste a lot of fields and never actually know anything.
I dropped out of high school and honestly its one of the worst decisions I've made. I'm studying to get my ged, so I can at least have a high school equivalent to get a job
how you doin rn?
You should make “Do all Ivy League Alums think the same”
I'm all for this
There is some background noise right ...? O__o
What noise?
There is, yes, kinda creepy sounding
I didn't notice it until now!
drone or a fan
It's really distracting :(
I understand parents putting too much pressure on their kids and it breaking them, but at the same time, my parents' pressure and expectations of me helped me realize and fulfill my full potential. They never told me what I had to be, but they were very adamant about going to college and doing well and I think when I was 16-18 I was so focused on my social bubble and little world that I didn't have the perspective I do now to appreciate that they knew my potential and that it was important to prioritize that, even if at the time I felt like it wasn't important and I could just coast along
"I was diagnosed with depression at two years old"
Hold up, what?
They should do it the opposite way to all college graduates think the same? This will be so interesting to watch considering the fact that I'm a 4 year degree graduate myself 😅🤔
The people who dropped out of college rather than highschool were much more mature and articulate. I think that shows something. You don't need college you do need highschool.
Not really.

I dropped out, but immediately got my GED and a full time job. My parents supported me, and pushed me to keep working hard every day. I found a good job, now my college is completely paid for, and I’m continuing to move up in the company. I’m much happier now than I would have been forcing myself to go to a university, drowning in debt.

Do all Catholics think the same? Or 6 Catholics and 1 non Catholic. I am a Catholic and this would be so interesting!
I would love to see Catholics & Protestants talk. I'm Protestant.

@@SammiCantRead Very interesting, have different denominations. I was raised in Pentecostal Church (not the strict branch) but most of family we're Baptist.
@@KP-vg3zn Catholics vs protestants is a great one. im a protestant as well. lot of people dont know catholics and christians arent the same. they call everyone christians.
Yeah I was surprised when they did the Christians Spectrum that they didn’t include anyone Catholic or Orthodox. I’d either like to do a redo of that or do one for both groups lol.
It’s too bad that people blame their problems and stuff on the school system. I get bullied, I have depression, but I care about my future and I don’t want to struggle so I power through, if you have issues learning you get help, hire tutor, ask a sibling.
I definitely feel that this should have been like more particular because as other people have said dropping out of high school and college are completely different
10/10 would NOT recommend dropping out again.
Middle ground: GED vs Graduating
Although the GED is literally a diploma and they’re the same but like seriously please do this one!!!
A GED is not literally a diploma
I feel like the bare minimum you can do is finish high school. To me there’s really no excuse why you can’t complete high school at least 🤷🏽♀️ I know people who barely even showed up to school and still managed to get their high school diploma
TSOIA Black exactly. unless there’s a drastic family event or you’re disabled/health reason, it’s lazy and irresponsible
That just shows how worthless a HS diploma is if literally anybody can get it... So why even care for it? A GED just seems like a much easier and faster solution to showing that you can do basic math and history, just saying.
@@zrayne Yeah, but I would hope they also were including people who dropped out to get a GED instead.
I'm personally in a special program where I'm still technically enrolled, but I basically have teachers I meet with somewhere like the library or whatnot. I just couldn't make myself go to school & be in a class due to my Social Anxiety Disorder {S.A.D.}, Generalized Anxiety Disorder {G.A.D.}, & the extremely bad experiences I had throughout my time in High School. The awful thing is that I actually LOVE learning, & I think I'm pretty book smart too. However, I couldn't handle everything anymore, & it took a lot to get me in this program that I'm in now. I have come to find there's a lot of people that don't understand Social Anxiety Disorder & anxiety in general. It really is a mental illness, & I'm still working on all my other mental issues.
Sorry for rambling. 😅
There are definitely circumstances me being one of them sexual abuse within the family home going on and you can’t concentrate.

Aye that's me in the video! I feel like I should clarify something I said since of course they couldn't put everything I said in the video for time sake. I didn't drop out at 13 to find myself, that came as a result of dropping out of the traditional school system, I was homeschooled and I graduated :) also my mom’s a teacher so she knew exactly what she was doing
people really expect others to express themselves perfectly in person and don't know how to interpret what it's trying to be said...
So then why were u in the video lol.
Why were you in the video then 💀
honestly had no idea that babies could be depressed 3:53
I don’t think they can. Yes, depression is a chemical imbalance, but mental health diagnoses cannot really be official until during or after puberty because that’s really when hormones and certain neurotransmitters really come into effect. A 2 year old may be predisposed to have depression, but it really wouldn’t be manifested until adolescence
Me neither. But I just googled it and apparently they can. And apparently they *can* be diagnosed. It's quite interesting.
Hannah Bruno i had depression from ages 9-13 it’s very real, when i used to go to day programs as a kid to learn coping strategies the youngest kids i would see were like 5. it’s really interesting but it is real.
Babies first words: end me
“diagnosed with depression at 2 years old”...
How is that possible? I thought maybe she meant 12 year old...
in other words, bologna.
@@Evieteresa i think she meant 2 years. Depression is an illness that can also affect children and can be diagnosed.
@UC4uvGq6md5u-yI1yPj5GKqA you can't diagnose a 2 year old with depression and screening takes place at 12-18 w/ uspstf guidelines.
And I thought me being diagnosed at 11 was too young lol

Lego Lover how lmao you can learn way more online I was ahead of all students in my classes because of online training and research
@@nextbigthing2917 He sounds like someone who was indoctrinated as a child into believing that strict and inflexible training is the only way to learn anything. Being able to learn wherever you want whenever you want is a huge bonus, and actually rewards people who love learning. Unlike High School, which forces you to take classes slowly no matter how advanced you are at a subject.
"I would like my children to complete their education"... those arrogant fools to disagree. Education is till the day you die.
musty
Was very disappointed to see so many of these people wouldn't care if their kid didn't finish primary education. That's so limiting to their opportunities and is straight up bad parenting. You are supposed to want better for your kids. Throwing them out into the world without a high school degree and being perfectly okay with that is making them struggle so much more than they need to.
As a teacher, this makes me so sad. NOT that they dropped out, but the stories of their teachers (BAD ONES!) and the education system. I hope we can do better in the future!
I feel like age diversity and having some older people who either feel regret or have different life long experiences would enhance the conversation
