the fact that a career advisor says "isnt that a bit too unrealistic" instead of trying to help is a horrible mindset to have as a career advisor in my opinion
lmao
There are capable ones as there are uncapable ones, like it is in every field and profession
In middle school the career advisor couldn’t go beyond surface level, i left with 0 perspective on how the world works and only got
“What school-subjects are you good at? Which ones do you like?” as guidelines from him
Hope he didn’t use that too much for students or for himself, creates a very limited view on the world
Luckily for me, at college (or high school or uni, don’t know how it translates correctly)
I felt not fitting in with the study i chose (business economics) so i knocked at the door of the advisor there
She asked me the purpose-questions that everyone nearing their 20s should hear:
What fires you up?
Where do your thoughts go to when alone?
What conversations and topics do you enjoy most?
And if not much comes up, it’s the healthy sign that you’re still in the search and should not full-on settle.
Who knows what might come across your path in the near future. Give things actively a chance but don’t cave-in to the thought “this is all i’m meant to”
Who knows?
You probably don’t. No one does.
Keep looking, listening. Stay open and curious.
Look bro, she was just doing her job, her job is to match you to a certain career they have embedded already on their computer and entrepreneur/business owner was not on there. I don't blame her one bit to be honest

a very mature response from someone who looks so young
i was indeed born after 2004
ok
I feel sorry for you. And me.
And me
And me
Yes
"you're doing better than you think you are..."
I feel like so many people need to hear that especially now. And you're speaking so genuinely from a place of experience, that what you say REALLY holds weight not just some random one-off thing from a video that we'll forget in a few days... I also feel like as a teenager, whose life was just extremely stunted and put on hold for so long because of covid, it's really reassuring to hear about someone like me accomplishing their goals despite all the shit we've been through... thank you man and keep up the good work.
Thanks, Jack. I watch your videos from time to time, but I never really comment on them. Just felt like you deserved a proper thank you. So, thank you.
"You could always have done worse."
"You're doing better than you think you are."
I like that. :)
I can't even decide what burger to order at McDonald's, and suddenly I'm expected to pick a career
1:07 flashbacks, oh god im seizing!!! noooo!! Hungry Jacks flashbacks! the beeping! someone make it stop!
I wanna tell you my story. Around 2-3 months ago, I started to be in friendship
with my girl classmate. She is very beautiful and smart, and in a few weeks i
just falled in love in her. After the end of 9th grade, I were texting her,
like, how is she doing, or "wanna go wor a walk" ant etc. Then, our classmate
texted me. He said me something like "she is mine", "im planning to date with
her". I thought it was end, but i remembered that he is just too unconfident in
himself. you must now something: I didnt want to date with this girl, i wanted
her to be happy no matter, who is she gonna date with.
A few days ago, I invited her to the cinema. And she accepted!
After the cinema, this classmate texted me to fight with me. I just sended this
message to her. And then a thought shot my mind:"i dont have to hide anything
from her". After that, i sended to her the previous text from him. She was shocked
and apologized that im became in danger because of her even though it is not.
As it turned out later, he was drunk. Then, the same evening, i confessed her
that i love her. It was like that: i sended to her many voice messages, explained
everything... she said, that she loves me only as friend, that she like our
communication and dont want to end our friendship. And you now? I like that
she said that. Now we are good friends, and i do not regret one bit that
we are not dating. We both are very smart and conscious, we like each other:
as friends. Now i just hope that we will meet people that we will spend with the
rest of our lifes. I want to tell you, that you WILL meet a girl/woman that
will love you, especially you, Jack. Best wishes to you all from Russia, my
brothers and sisters❤
thats so cute omg stop😭 i hope youll find someone for you soon🫶
@@lxciabobathank you very much for your support❤
Bro you must realise that amount of humbleness you have for accepting her rejection you guys have a great friendship and ik it always remain like that ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ (am 12 lol)
@@AryanAjiraj-rn4xi we both like to talk to each other so... i agree with you: we have a great friendship
You're very *very* strong for accepting a rejection this easily and your belief of not caring about dating her much but more like caring for her to be generally happy is something I respect a lot for you, I respect her too for actaully being very respectful for your feelings and stays as a friend rather than just leave you like most people you confess to, yall have the best friendship and wish you two the best ♡
Tbh I'm really proud of the next generation thinkers who gave much of their thoughts in the comment sec. Adults may be obstinate about their world views and may think that y'all are fresh canvas that needs more colors acquired from experience, but i think the future generation have so much potential to be leaders, revolutionists and reformists. Even though you are young, you shouldn't be excluded and always remember that all your opinions are valuable. Keep on thinking, keep on speaking, but never forget to have humility. Respect and listen to everyone in general. Age isn't a basis of respect afterall, so does knowledge and wisdom. All of us can be right or wrong in our ways, because all of us has the capacity to respond to everything life throws at us. The product justify the means, but the effort alone is enough.
Falling behind and worrying that I might make the wrong career decision has consistently been my biggest fear for the past year. So thank you so much for this vid man!
i'm on my last year of high school, and there is genuinely nobody in my grade that is not extremely stressed, especially because of this messed up school system that makes you feel like everything about your future has to be determined NOW as a kid.
as the years have gone by, growing up with my friends and growing closer with other people, i've really realised how depressed, anxious, and stressed my friends are because of school.
and there's this expectation that you gotta know what you wanna do, and you gotta run so fast and so far constantly to not fall behind.
it feels like there's pretty much shame in not going to uni and like it's wrong to look after yourself.
what even happened to making memories and having fun?
You are the only self improvement youtuber worth watching Jak. This message was great!
I remember that at school I also had a test about what career would suit you. what did they write to me? that I am not interested in anything and, accordingly, nothing will suit me. They not only expect schoolchildren to know from the cradle what they want to be, but they are also ready to morally drown anyone who does not fit their imaginary standards, and this is disgusting. they were lucky that I more or less took this answer with humor and mockery of THEM and THEIR limitations, although I remembered it for the rest of my life. another child in my place could simply give up and forever stop believing in his own strength and in the fact that he is capable of anything.

Ty for the warning
My grandfather tells me, “Your best ability is what you love, never lose it”.
2001 kid here, in a similar boat. 23 and still struggling to find out what I wish to do with my life.
born in '99 here. more often than not, doing something, anything, is better than doing nothing at all. even if you call it 50/50 odds to just take a shot in the dark, it's still better than the 100% failure rate of inaction! (source: i have done fuckall with my life since graduating and every damn second of it has suuuucked :3)
Born in '04
Took a gap year after graduation because I hadn't chosen a path yet, didn't want to waste the money going to school when I didn't have a path lined up. Decided to work at a warehouse instead, and the life experience I gained there just coming out of my shell and social anxiety and just talking with people in the "real world" was worth more than anything I ever learned in highschool.
It helped me understand more about who I was as a person and more about what I wanted to do and who I wanted to spend my time with. Hell, it even made me want to take a business course at a college, and here I am starting my 2nd year.
Don't be afraid of walking down unconventional paths that aren't what everyone else is doing. You might find some cool nuggets about life along the way that are more valuable than you'd think.
Hearing this means a lot to me, I graduated highschool about a year ago and right now I feel exactly how you described it. Behind, alone, like I should already be moving on with my life like everyone else even though right now I am at home spending time with my family before I leave and preparing myself to join the military. Growing up as a military kid I graduated from a military school that expected us to have our college/career chosen to be announced during our graduation (it was a small class of about 27 including me) which I changed about a month after. Along with that, I immediately after had to move away from everything and everyone I knew there. Usually every move my whole life I've experienced I easily met and made new friends through school, but this being after graduation I feel so isolated knowing no one here, also barely in touch with friends from that previous place I lived at now. Even though I'm preparing myself mentally and physically for my future career and trying just to focus on that, I feel so behind seeing almost every other graduate from my class in college or doing what they planned already, while I'm still here working towards my goal. It is hard watching everyone else moving on in life, and I have felt very different and lonely and sometimes even like I haven't done anything even though I've made so much progress on myself. Hearing your words that I'm not behind and I'm simply on my own timeline really helps and motivates me through this "waiting" period. Soon I'm going to feel so proud of myself of what I've accomplished and make the people in my life proud too. Sorry this is so long, but thank you so much for this video and sharing your own experience.
Don't feel sorry for me, feel glad either of us got to exist in the first place
2006 here, early adulthood sucks tbh.
an experience like that makes me glad that my one careers meeting i had at school basically amounted to me saying i didn't know what i wanted to do and the advisor asked me what subjects i chose for GCSE and made some suggestions based on that. I walked out and basically forgot everything she said because I couldn't give 2 shits about it.
[2010 kid here and i honestly relate to this a bit, when i was younger (single digits) i wanted to be a content creator, seeing theses kids play roblox or other games inspired me and i wanted to do it but was shot down for safety (which i can understand), i was told i could do it when I'm older so, that's what i wanted to do but i relized later on that being a content creator may not work out and if it doesn't. .what do i do then?, I've been told i be a good lawyer, i like Psychology and wanting to learn more about disorders and wanting to learn coding and make fan games or actual games but i worry this is shooting way to high. I don't have the best memory, sometimes and i feel so confused about myself a lot. Like i don't know who i really am when it feels like everyone else knows everything about themselves meanwhile i only know like the bare minimum sometimes about myself]
[Sorry if this is a lot lol, ill maybe edit it or delete later but thanks man for making this]
2003 here, and I get it. Between the lack of support from schools and family, it's awful... Then life kicks you when your down. Happened to me. 21, disabled and everything feels bleak because i don't know what to do with my life now that I can't do much. Just this morning I woke up in immense pain, and if I hadn't asked mom to help with my medicine i would have ended up in the hospital unable to breathe.
All i can say is that you should start taking time for yourself. Don't overwork yourself and burn out like I did. It's why I'm stuck like this. You took on too much at once at an early age and everything feels bleak now. If you step back a bit, maybe that'll help.
As a person born in 2004, who for their whole life never knew what they would do after graduating from school, I can tell you that you shouldn't worry about what you are going to do later in life. I was always the one kid who never knew what he would do for a job, and when I say that, I mean it. At no point in life did I ever have a dream job, and consequently I always felt behind everyone else. In less than a month, I will be graduating and only a few months ago I have figured out what I want to study and have not even figured out what I want to work as with that degree.
My point is, that you should not compare yourself to others as much, and instead keep going at your own pace. It might seem like everyone else is much further ahead in life than you are, but they are going at their own paces too and if you think you are falling behind you will unnecessarily create stress. What you should do, and what also helped me figure out what I want to do later, is to keep doing what interests you and try out new things to see if they are something for you. In the end, one of those things that you love and are interested in will probably be the one you want to keep doing for the rest of your life, and it might even be one of your current interests that you don't think will be it, but if you keep stressing yourself out, you will sort of miss your whole life.
As someone who just graduated HS, I thank you for this inspirational message. You sir are a hero. Thank you so much 🙏
I was 04 & honestly..my first job was Fast Food & I LOVED it. I had amazing friends there, my managers loved me we all got along & we could all rely on each other, but I was forced to quit by my dad & made me work a factory job & now...I am miserable. I hate it. I can't stand more than half the people I work with. If you find something you're passionate about, don't let people take that from you.
Heya 2004 kid here. This video is something I definitly needed after failing the first year of my dream study course in college after trying my best to not fail and not being able to repeat it again. My entire life I've felt like I couldn't keep up with everyone around me, I'm litterally slower than my peers at everything and the pressure of keeping up with everything is so heavy. For college over here there isn't really something as student loans and I can't count on my family (parents and grandparents) so I can't rent a dorm and because I'm slower and need a lot more time for everything being on the train for more than an hour is also not a possibility because that would also just immediatly fail me because I cannot work at all on the train.
I'm probably going to need to study something I don't want to study at all because my family wants me to get a degree and I've already been yelled at for even suggesting to work for a year to get some more money. The only person that is also saying to start looking for work is the same person who put down the family cat that I saw as my own child and cared about while the cat was completely healthy and lied about it to all of us a couple of months ago so I honestly don't know if I can trust that person for that kind of important advice.
I honestly just feel so lost.
The only thing I know is that I just have to keep moving through my life as uncertain it is rn for me.
Born in 06, just turned 18. I appreciate you making this video a lot. People expect you to know what you want to do right away and from such an early age, too. Everyone I was in school with is applying to or going to different colleges, they all have jobs.. youre completely right on how lonely it makes you feel. Dissociation, depression, loneliness, jealousy, stress... it really wears you down.
To anyone that may be reading this, just know I'm wishing you the best. I mean it. Keep going. You might not know what you want now, and that's okay.
Born in 06 and just graduated...I get what you mean. Everyone I know has jobs, money saved, cars, and college figured out. Meanwhile I fell behind in the college application process and still don't know where I'm going, what I'm studying, or how I'm paying for it. I also have no job, and managed to fail a class last semester of highschool because of depression. It's a weird feeling when you can see all your friends moving on and succeeding while you're left behind. Hopefully we'll all find our way somehow
Not first but I love to learn from your vids thanks
thanks man, I feel sorry for us too🥲🫶
I had no idea why i'm going from IT school into foreign construction workers
I was born in 2004 and as a kid I always dreamed of working on cars and I’m happy to say that the plans I made throughout the years worked out well. I am now a full time automotive technician 👍🏽
I'm also Australian and did the exact same careers meeting thing (for Morrisby testing) the same year as Jak. The man who took my meeting didn't really give a damn and I didn't take away anything 😐 He read out my results word for word when I could see it myself, and kinda went through it like a set agenda without caring about the living human he was talking to. And yeah I didn't care too much either but it seems most of my peers had a non-positive experience from this.
I guess the idea of getting high schoolers to think about their future and teach us how to approach situations is good, but in reality most of us don't care to that extent. If someone was particularly ambitious and had their life "worked out" (as mentioned in this vid) they probably don't need such assistance. If anything, they'd learn more from their own experiences, right?
And this type of teaching feels so forced most of the time. Yeah it's good and who knows maybe we're just a bunch of teenagers who don't appreciate what we learn in school, but then I remember that we, especially school-aged children, are constantly being influenced by our environment. So I agree with the points in this video about how we're getting pressured in the most random things and getting so many empty comments without giving ourselves opportunity to truly think for ourselves.
person born in 2004 and a female here, yeah I relate to this a lot since ever starting Middle School, I've been thinking "... what should I do after I graduate from highschool" and during that time I was in a rough spot cuz back in 2015 was an amazing and also really bad year, the good was that my little sister was born, the bad is that 3 of my family members passed away, so my ass was depressed and stressed out as hell and just.. felt lonely cuz I have friends out there probably happy on what they're doing (like jobs and college) while I'm just sitting here on my chair, staring at my drawing tablet not knowing what to do since I decided NOT to go to college for my mental health but also I cant get a job for the same reason.. but I cannot drive because not only I have a fear of driving (my grandpa put that fear in me cuz he was being dumb :'D) but I'm also disabled, I have epilepsy which, of course sucks balls, I was in a career class once in highschool in my freshmen year of highschool and then with the same teacher in senior year (she's really nice, i miss her ever since I graduated back in 2022) I got to have a class called "off school campus jobs" where the students (there were like.. 5 of us) get assigned to different jobs (I got to work as a bagger in a grocery store, I bag stuff), it was fun yet very stressful (the funniest time was when I was putting away a cart load of *bread* and got every spot for the bread brand correct and put away, my teacher saw me, eyes wide and just laughed, bless her heart) but had fun, but it wasn't for me, so I just became an artist and a voice actor for fun, it's cool, I'm a 20 yo woman and just gaming (Hollow Knight and Death's Door my beloved) n shit, trying not to die, but hey at least I'm tryna push myself to continue what I'm doing and just not look at what's going on today with the internet culture going down the drain and the school system being not so great
but the way the adivisor said that kinda made me raise an eyebrow but ik she was just doing her job which is cool
But to the other people in here, try to push yourself, even if you don't know what you want to do/be, that's fine! Push yourself (not too hard so that you wont hurt yourself mentally) and continue on what makes you happy, if I can do it, so can *you*
love yall, and have a good day/afternoon/night
This genuinely made me cry. As someone who doesn’t know what to do yet and don’t really have a “career” planned out unlike my other peers really makes me feel behind. I always feel so sad and frustrated, I guess, every time someone asks me what do I wanna do because I don’t know. It’s kinda pathetic, really because I work really hard at school and have a path I wanna take but I don’t really know what’s my end goal. So this really cheered me up a lot and like I said, it made me cry. Thank you.
Having turned twenty this year, I do wish I had seen this when I was 18. Though I’m glad I saw it nonetheless, I did need a reminder that I should explore my own life and thoughts. Thank you, I’ll have to look into what makes me happy and makes me improve at the same time.
'08 kid here. I've always tried to be logical with my career choices, and one day this year, for a health assignment, I was to talk to one of the school counselors. He asked, "What job do you want to do when you're older?"
I said, "Voice acting or acting in general, but I know that's unrealistic." I *love* the idea of those jobs, but I know I can't achieve them. And it feels like I'm not smart enough to even get into college. I was held back a year because my old school was strange with birthdays, and because I'm older than everyone, it makes me feel as if I don't deserve any of the good things happening to me in school. If I do get into college, what do I do? The dream I have is illogical, and I wish I knew what to do. But one day, I have hope that I will find the job for me.
2007 here and going into year 13. Final year of school. It's very pressuring. I'm being told to think about my future all the time AND the now. I need to get into a good university AND get good scores on my end of topic tests. That's a lot of pressure and I'm being told this all the time.
But almost everyone I've spoken to who went to uni straight from school wished that they had taken a gap year. So that's what I'm going to do. Use this year to focus on exams and then take a gap year to mature and do a post A-level application. When I was in year 9, Morrisby told me that my best suited career was a geologist. Hilarious considering that I dropped geography in year 8. Since the Morrisby test I got a job as a physics and maths tutor, became a youth leader at my church and I found out that I love teaching. There's pride and wonder in seeing someone, no matter how old they are, understand something with your help. My goal is to become a teacher and not a geologist. Though funnily, I wanted to be a spy in year 9. How times have changed
Matthew 5:3-12
“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Born in 2008, 15 going on 16, thankyou. I have been feeling that way for a while, some of the kids at my school I speak with already have jobs and make frickin 100s every other week. I don’t, this video made me actually feel good for prioritizing fixing up my mental health as best that I can *before* going into any job. So thankyou for that.
Plus, I’m glad to see someone who can reach a lot of people finally say somthing akin to no time is wasted time. I spend a lot of time online with a certain friendgroup, and to spare the details, I do a lot of creative thinking because of this group, and I know that my story telling and writing abilities have improved because of it.
Essentially, thankyou for making me not feel like a failure!
2003 people where u at 👇
Hey :)
👋
Haha here!
here
I guess we were more fortunate to win the sperm race before 2004
I know that feeling of feeling detached. I think of it, and I say to myself, who the f**k cares about if I'm behind. I don't care about the things most people care about and I'm happy with that!
You shouldn't really care about what other people think about you.
I know I won't be dreaming of going to university. That place sounds like an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE!
But I know how you feel. Not knowing what you'll do in the future, a bit envious and a perfectionist.
But, I'm glad I wasn't born after 2010. The future seems very grim.
I'd love to try to make a difference, but...to do that, I'd have to be indestructible, immortal.
My careers advisors at my school told me I could be "anything I wanted to be".
That was the worst thing they could have said. Because it's been 20 years and I still can't decide which thing I'm good at that I want to be over the other things I'm good at.
2006 here and tbh I little am surrounded by people who just encourage me no matter if I become a failure and like…it feels bad man, I wanna have a little bit of resistance so I can just get better at things I do in my life
Heyo, 2004 here.
I’m in a weird little spot where I know what I want to do, a lot of things actually. Since Y8 I’ve become invested into going into biomedical engineering and developing prosthetics for disabled folk. However over time my want to nurture and help the next generation has grown and its caused me to also pursue teaching later down the line. But I’ve noticed my friends don’t know where they want to go and (unfortunately) I took on responsibility early, and its left me ahead and I wish I could help others get where they want to go.
This is very helpful, and I think a lot of kids just don't get a lot of good advice growing up. I was born in 2007 and my mother is a pessimist, so I've been struggling a lot with this. I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to do with my life at this point. It's especially hard when a lot of adults tell you that whatever it is you want to do is "unrealistic" and honestly it can be a bit suffocating. This video is amazing, and I hope a lot more people see it.
Awesome content bro
i'm an autistic severely mentally ill kid born in 06. i dropped out of high school because the higher staff refused to accommodate my needs on top of the pandemic which worsened my mental health
i ended up graduating with a ged earlier this year and got high scores. i guess that was nice, but i never got to live life with easily accessible friends since i lost contact with them, go outside and find fun things to do because i've been a shut-in all these years and can't drive due to trauma, aim for a dream college and study hard. disability leaves me unable to do things normally so i haven't been able to get a job while dwelling over the experiences i lost and could've gotten to help me. my mom can't help me due to at-home abuse through a different family member and needs to work to survive, so she forgets i have needs a lot
i hate my life. everyday i wish i could've lived a normal teenage life and prepared myself for a job or a dream or stable income so my family won't be on food stamps anymore or find a way me and my mom won't be consistently abused and pushed into poverty. i applied for community college to start art classes because i've enjoyed it as a hobby my entire life but i doubt i'll even go anywhere, i'm severely unwell and AI disregards anyone who wants to work professionally but everyone else loves it. why should i be passionate about something that i don't even know i want
i don't know anymore. i don't know what my purpose is. the world isn't made for me and i don't think i'll ever be happy with myself. all i can do is watch as my life rots away and time ticks by faster then i can process
everyday i wish i had a meaning to live
2006 here. Because of my parents and the internships my high school allowed me to embark on, I know for sure what I want to do with my future. That's great and all, but now I'm at the point where I need to find a job in my area without any connections whatsoever and I'm gonna be honest, I'm scared. I'm scared of college, I'm scared of jobs, not because working scares me, I have no issues with that, but because the process of getting that job scares me. Everything feels so complictaed that it feels impossible to do anything these days.
Best thing to do I guess is to put one foot in front of the other. Tomorrow is another day, and you haven't dropped dead yet, so you might as well make the best of it. Best of luck to everyone.
I was shocked seeing the title, bc I am born in 2004. But this absolutely true and a lot of my male classmates went through a similar thing trying to be an entrepreneur and following a Tate-like mentality, but for me this video is so special bc I feel like I have quite a different way of thinking for others, and even moreso in university bc my program requires a lot of critical thinking. I want to go to med school and I always have, but I definitely don't have it figured out and I am also a "non-traditional" applicant. I honestly might not end up doing it though.
As an ‘07, we are the future of this world. We must stop dividing and unite, to make this world better for our sons, daughters, and family tree
I dont know much about what i want my future to look like other than knowing i want to build my own forge and start metalworking. it doesnt have to go anywhere, while profit from it would be ideal im fine if its just a hobby. i just know i like working with my hands and that if i can turn it into a profitable career it would be better than the workforce reality we have now.
04 kid here. ending it all soon. the world has given up on me so i’ve given up on it.
i’m going into my senior year, and honestly, i’m terrified. i’m supposed to know exactly what i want to do. i don’t. i don’t have a clue. i want to be an engineer, a forensic scientist, an architect, an archivist, a bookstore owner, and somehow also nothing at all. it’s scary, knowing that the decisions i make now will affect the rest of my life.
i don’t have any sort of “but i know i can do it” to add. that’s it. it’s scary, and that’s it. sometimes you just have to be scared.
Well I want to be in a quiet setting and work in a Library but look at me now. 21 now with no job because my Dad doesnt want me to work at a no knowledge fast food place with my friend. And chance the Military and nothing happens cause I have allergies.
This is what happens when you are bossed around by the way
I was born in 2004. I'm in my second year of college at Oklahoma State University in the USA. I am double majoring in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (it's not as scary as it sounds. There's a lot of overlap in the classes. It doesn't even feel like two degrees). This is to say that I got lucky.
From when I was 5, I was obsessed with all things space and rockets. My lego collection is huge. Aerospace Engineering is a perfect fit for me, and I'm actually really loving my classes, but I did go through a couple different phases. In elementary, I wanted to play baseball, in middle school, I wanted to be an archeologist. Once I hit high school, I didn't know what I wanted to do. I was contemplating music because of how I much I love marching band.
That was until Space X started to really start ramping up in popularity. During my sophomore year, they launched and landed the first ever starship prototype. This reignited my love for space, and I decided about halfway through that that's what I wanted to do. The stars were literally calling my name, and I wanted to be a part of the engineering teams at NASA. I wanted to help humanity get back to the moon or even go to Mars. Heck, I'd go to Mars myself.
Last year, my grades were looking iffy, and I almost lost some scholarships because I was too focused on doing activities, such as band, that I lost my focus. During my senior year in high school, even some of my closest friends were judging me for saying I was going to work for NASA. I didn't listen.
Now, I'm enjoying life because I am taking fun, challenging classes, and I don't have to worry about a lot of extra activities. I found the balance between work and play, and it's awesome. All of this is to say, I definitely felt out of place in high school because I felt like I was the only one who had a dream. I got lucky that my dream happens to be something that I am really passionate about.
I had to motivate myself because no one else wanted to help me in high school. My school system has next to nothing in terms of science and math. That school system does not care about their students, they just want them to graduate and get out of their hair.
Born in 2006 here, same situation happened to me. They told me I should be a doctor. I get the stereo type and stuff with being Filipino, but I wanted to be an engineer. I her that and she said almost the exact same thing to me as you did, but she added, "You don't look the type." I was angry, sad, and just empty at the time. But as time passed, I became better at mathematics and physics, even learning more about biology on the way.
I have the support of my mom, dad and sister. The pressure definitely is alot. But I recently got into a College that would help me pursue my career of choice. Hopefully I'll come back here in this comment section with a smile.

06' here. highschool was the point in my life where i just said "fuck it, this is pointless" because 1 the economy sucks, 2 school doesnt always help you with where you wanna go. and for me i want to do youtube like literally everyone else my age.
i am one of the least motivated dudes and it takes a lot to get me motivated enough to do something i really dont wanna do/dont care about. and literally anything school was it for me. i am smart, i know i am, but i did not have the motivation for school and gave up. luckily in senior year they started esports and said i couldnt play smash unless i was passing all my classes. (i had all F's i really did not give a shit). that gave me the motivation to actually pass all my classes and i was luckily within 4 credits to graduate. i graduated over the summer. saying i couldnt participate in being lazy and playing my favorite video game unless i passed all my core classes got me to make 2 youtube videos within 4 days, (2 days each) one of them being my senior project which my whole class told me was by a long shot their favorite, which really kinda helped show me that im actually capable of doing shit if i can actually put my mind to it.
i didnt plan on going to collage, i like computers, tech shit, astronomy, and psychology. im going to collage in the spring to do cyber security and get a certificate.
i still have no idea if this is what i wanna do for my life.
'09 pal over here. I've always had the dream to be a content creator, so when i made my channel i just made what i wanted to, nowadays i post now and then but lack the motivation because of stuff i shouldn't be worrying about, but i still do because it seems important to me, i keep remembering that everyone i've met at School suceeded but i always were a bit back, because how the school system worked, it just didn't make sense to me and i wasn't able to understand. The rest is history as i just keep getting ideas on ideas that don't really come to fruition, i've noticed that's been changing lately because worries are going down by cause that i tell myself: "Nah, life seems alright" even if it never truly is, i swear i feel older but i'm so young.
2009 here kind of wild how I'm gonna be getting a job next year
I just got the confirmation that I can continue school the way I want with a qualification that I can partake in the final “college” exam expected in the next three year timespan It’s for me a great opportunity to have more time to choose what I want to do and at the same time get a higher education but I barely only got there if i didn’t get the required qualification, I would’ve needed to change schools, it’s also great bc my friend will go to that school just I don’t really know if it’s smt I wanna do with my entire life, it’s a school for a specific job unlike the school I am currently at. I just hope I have smt in mind really want to do for the foreseeable future. (I was born in 2008)
Yesterday I had a conversation with my father, not about career paths but also personality and the way I act, he said “You need to learn to act like an adult, you do know you’re soon going to be one” this really made me sad, ofc I didn’t mention it but being told to act a certain way I am not used to, it’s logical to think that way but that would mean not being myself. I think I kinda have gone of topic 😅
2005 here. I feel pretty lost.
High school years were during pandemic, so it feels like it went by in the blink of an eye. Just focused on studies. Never went out with friends or leaving the house in general.
Have a lot of ideas, but can never put them into practice.
So I’m trying to slow down. Try new things.
No one tells you want you can and can't do. You're life is yours to live not anyone elses
The proper response for the career advisor instead of its unrealistic, is let's make it realistic. For that job, here's the kind of skills you will need, here's the kind of things you will do day to day. Let's find someone who is an entrepreneur and have you talk with them to see if it's something you like

I was born Oct. 29 2006, and I already feel like I failed at life.
I'm about to start my last year of HS (I started school late), and have yet to get my first job, learn to drive, but yet I have extremely high dreams. I want to have a self sustaining homestead and live peacefully. But I have no idea where to start, and I feel like I already failed. It feels like i have no support from my loved ones, and life overall sucks.

How the heck being a business owner is unrealistic? Being a pessimist career advisor is more unrealistic if you ask me.

I want to do everything. Try as many jobs as possible. Do cool hobby’s. Go places- everything. I’m 13. Born in 2010. I like acting a lot, but I’ve qlso been told I have business capabilities and potential. I’ve always felt very “average.” In the middle. I’m in the middle of gen an and millennial. My grades are average. I look average. I act average. And I don’t want to be average. I want to do amazing things and change the world. Because one day I will die, and I can’t un-die. I cant un-live either. So I was to live right, and die happy. The only way I see to do that, is to try and do everything I possible can.

damn my sister was born in 04 and my brother in 10 thats actually crazy
Born in 2007 here. I have absolutely no idea what I wanna do. 😂 I have lots of interests, so many that I don't know what is the best.
15 year old going into 11th grade here. In freshman year of high school, I was (officially-- it was for an assignment or paperwork or something) asked what I wanted to do for a job after school. I answered honestly: I don't know. I was 13. Apparently that was the wrong answer.
I wasn't asked the same question the following year.
'06 kid here. There was a time in 6th grade where for an essay, I had to write a fictional story about literally anything. "Let your hand go crazy on the page". I wrote what I always considered, then and now, to be the worst story I've ever made and maybe even read. It was awful; I had so many grammatical mistakes, a bunch of plot holes in the story line, etc.
But this teacher, a couple weeks later, decided to have a 1 on 1 meeting with each student to talk to them about their assignment. I was TERRIFIED about this concept. The mere idea of having to deal with my bullshit story was something I wanted to completely ignore as soon as possible. Eventually, my name came up. Sweating profusely, shaking for my dear life, I get up to sit at a desk in front of my teacher, absolutely petrified about what's going to happen.
She then says something along the lines of this: "So... Vincent (that's my name). There were some issues with this text; obviously, you had a couple of grammatical errors here and there, and... your story isn't structured super well... but I noticed something while reading your story. You care. You had, and I'm not saying this lightly, the most passionate writing out of anybody in this class. I was reading this and felt actually invested in what you had written. I see something in you, a spark, a possibility. You have something special, Vincent. And for that, I'm giving you an A+. Now go back to the classroom, and make sure to keep everything that happened here to yourself."
Without her even knowing it, she changed my life forever. Despite my absolutely horrible story, she gave me a chance. She showed me that someone cared. She realized before everybody else, even me, what I would grow up to become.
I'm an aspiring filmmaker. I'm now in college, studying cinema, living my wildest dreams. Thanks to that woman, I know what I will do with my life.
The main take-away here, if you really want one, is to be kind. Be kind to others, and especially, be kind to yourself. You never know what kind of opportunities your kindness will bring, either to you or to others. Thanks to a random woman's kindness, I found myself. One day, you may find yourself too.
Good luck.
That woman is the type of teacher everyone needs in their life, I hope she's doing well and by extention you as well :)
@@THATAroSpecWallet Thank you! I really wish her the best as well, and I hope she knows how many lives she's changed by doing the best she could
As an '04 kid and another Vincent, I wanted to pursue music as a career choice. I had my eyes fixed on the Grand Ole Opry and playing my guitars and singing. But my parents always told me to put all that to the side as a hobby only, and to focus on things like engineering or computer programming. I don't give a care about any of that stuff, but I took their word for it. I took AP course classes in the science field, and I was considering doing that kind of stuff. And I felt that, yeah, it's more practical if I become an engineer or a programmer since they make a ton of money each year. And I wanted to become a husband and father (I still do) so I believed that it would be opportune for me to try to test those waters.
But I started to have a mental breakdown in my junior and senior years of highschool, and it was due to these bland yet demanding courses that I had no care towards where my struggles came to be. And it wasn't until my awards ceremony a month or so prior to my graduation (Class of '22) where I vented at my parents and told them what I wanted to be, and that it was not in engineering or programming, but in the guitar and singing and music. That's what I wanted to be. And I realized that while I was in choir (Chorale and Chamber) when I sang, when I brought my instruments to school and played during my free time. Even my choir director said one time, "Vincent, you're probably the best guitarist of your age I have ever heard." And that gave me more motivation than anything else. I love music, and I want to pursue it.
I'm currently in the US Marine Corps (I can't remember why I chose this, but I'm happy I did, even though I plan to leave after my contract) and I plan to take up some college courses for audio engineering while I'm in. I want to be able to produce music so that I can develop my own music at home. It's definitely a hard task at hand, but it's one I'm willing to take. WAY MORE than mechanical engineering or computer programming. And I don't have my parents to tell me "no" anymore, since I can actually choose. I'm no longer under their auspices, but my own.
Advice to kids, follow your dreams. Not to the end of a cliff, but follow them. If it's something you're genuinely passionate about, then do it. Don't let your parents dictate your decision. Don't let your peers dictate your decision. Don't let your superiors dictate your decision. Follow your dreams and your desires. And I mean FOLLOW them, because no one is going to hand it to you. You have to work for it. The more work and labor you put into something you genuinely love, the more that you'll come to know and appreciate the process it takes to get to the top.
Godspeed!
Nice
Go vincent go!
As a girl born in 2005. To say that I've been overwhelmed and stressed for the last 5 years would be an understatement.
Did you accidentally push anyone down the stairs, perchance?
I feel u
Good way to put it. Being born in 2005 it seems like the good times have gone before we were even able to truly enjoy them and now we have to worry about whatever comes next.
@@Bud55 i think we need more to be present in the moment and make the most of it instead of worrying about future and regretting past. Like setting the future goal and working hard for it while enjoying/romanticising the journey as well. Ig we'll not get burn out so often. I ain't gonna repeat past mistakes anymore
I can relate to this really hard. The last 4-5 years I haven’t been able to enjoy life because I’m constantly worried about what comes next.
“Isn’t that a bit too unrealistic” is unbelievably awful to say to a kid

I got told that..
I ignored it and kept going.
There's no need to give up when you're a miracle to be alive.
This world has failed me.
lol but yes it foes feel bad.
my parents used to say that all the time when I was young
Born in 2008 here,
What you said is correct. I spent half of my life questioning if my career is even attainable. My family supports my dream, but even so its a lot of pressure. I would, no I will be the first person in my family to actually go to college. Its stressing but im trying to not let life pull me down. Sure i may be young, but its never to early to start planning your future.
I was told by somone once before that i should live in the now, not in the when. Hearing them say that i realized how normal it is for people to wait to start planning for their future. I realized that some people just hope something falls right unto their lap. I dont want to be like that though. I want to be prepared, I want to achieve my dream. Though i do realize that some dreams don't come true, im willing to take a leap of faith anyway. It's only up from here.
To anyone who reads this, we got this and no one can stop us. I would say the sky is the limit, but we can reach higher than that.
Thanks for this comment I feel the same and am also born in 2008
I also have that problem where I will also be the first person going to college in my family and it’s not only stressful but feels like I have to be perfect and someone who has no flaws
Although I no longer feel that way I did up until last year and now as a 16 year old am attending college which is exciting but it’s nerve racking to be so young and not knowing exactly what to do with life but being so close to actually having a career
08 here too want to be a pilot not for the money or people but because I want to explore go out and experience and see the world and what it has how different people in different places live how they deal with the situations that they have I am currently in Florida in the us and I really don’t think most Americans realize just how good we have it compared to say people who live in places that don’t have the freedom that we do that can’t just do whatever wherever just because they can and the children that don’t have a choice of what they want to do for their lives anyway I guess what I’m saying is don’t take what you do have for granted
Why do both of the people that replied hate punctuation so much?
And also yes, I understand exactly what you mean! Born in 2006, I'm already the only person in my close family that went to high school, and soon to be the only one to go to a university as well. Your determination and passion are admirable, and I wish to be as sure as you are about who I want to be. I only know WHERE I want to be, and I'm doing my best to learn the language early on and move when the conditions are just right. I wish you luck in your plans!

2004 autistic person here. Had a similar experience where my teacher said I'd make a fine "Walmart greeter". I improved drastically through Middle school and was then labeled to go into trades. Years of speech therapies, social conditioning along with study development later, I got accepted to an engineering college where I'm currently studying .
The system entirely failed to prepare me for proper life on my own. Instead assuming I'd never even get a job let alone live my own life. I'm sorry you had that teacher try to funnel you like that. It's ridiculous to ever assume a kid's fate when they can barely grasp simple chores.
If I was a parent and I found out a teacher had said my child would make a fine Walmart greeter, the teacher would be dead and I'd be in prison.

99 here. Yeah, I'm an old man from last century.
This isn't a struggle unique to you kids. I had no idea what to do with my life. Still don't. This modern way of life is foreign to how we've always lived. I'm doing my best to sort out some sort of career.
Years into adulthood, I've finally realized that i don't have dreams or ambitions. I just want to live.
2006. Same. We're all indoctrinated by this idea that we need to "contribute to society". I was beat down to suicidal levels until I realized recently I can just... do things for myself. All those "dreams and ambitions" I had were just ways little me made up to try to "contribute something to society", but never things I could see myself enjoy doing. I want to survive and do some things I wanna do and not do some things I don't wanna do. Life is so much less complicated than society makes it out to be.

@@aurum7695oh I thought that too until I read your comment lol
'94. I knew I wanted to join the airforce at age six, and held that desire until I graduated at 18, when I realized I had no more genuine interest in doing so. I was still fascinated by flight but I was told by everyone that knowing my career path so early was good. Others told me I would change my desire later in life and I wanted to prove them wrong because they seemed empty and unhappy to me. Over the past 11 years since I graduated I've learned thoroughly that it doesn't matter when you discover your drive in life, nor does it matter how quickly you see financial success. The people you choose to have some form of relationship with and how you build those relationships matter. You need parents, friends, siblings, coworkers, spouses, bosses, mentors, etc. but don't get distracred trying to build all these relationships at once. Work with the person you are around when you're around them, prioritize those that pove most beneficial as time passes, move on from those who beat you down or discourage you, and feel free to move place to place or job to job for a few years, even a decade or so. You may find where you want to stay early, or it may take awhile. You may be like me and discover new goals based on who you meet and the experience you gain or you may pursue the same end goal from highschool. As long as you don't get distracred by meaningless idle isolation you will do well. Even when unhappy you will progress, and progression will lead you through hardship and disappointment. Just don't stagnate or withdraw. I lost a few years of progress to that and that meant a few missed opportunities and some time crunches. It's doable if you make the mistakes, just avoid them the best you can.
Ultimately though, the only way to stay the course is to focuse on God and trust his word and instructions. I'd be adrift and a failure if I hadn't sought His instruction even when I was failing horribly.

0:13 they totally rig the career tests to give you a teaching role because there aren't enough teachers. like sure i could be good with kids, but i'm also dumb as hell and have social anxiety, so it makes no sense for them to have given me primary school teacher because that's way too stressful for me. and on top of that my career advisor reccomended me a religious college like christian or catholic or whatever and i'm not even religious. really wasted an opportunity to actually help me. i'm an '06 kid and in year 9 i had no idea what i wanted to be. I'm graduating this year and i still don't. i'm doing a makeup VET class because they don't offer animation courses in my area, i already failed another VET course the year before because i thought it would have animation in it but it didn't and i couldn't figure out how to do half the work.. maybe i'll try writing or animating, but right now the only thing i can probably get is a job at kmart or the library. i tried working fast food because one of my friends was doing it and it was way too stressful for me.
good luck bro wish u the best
Im a first year animation student, i just wanna let you know theres resources online to start learning, and that its never too late to get into it! Animation is one of the careers where you don't need to get a degree because studios care more about your animation reel, aka your skills. You can still reach towards going to college but in the meantime i recommend learning what you can and studying on your own.
My degree is 2.5 years long and only in the 3rd trimester did we actually start learning about animation, before then it was kinda just general art crap that i honestly knew most of already.
In my storyboard class, the most important thing we learned were camera angles, thought up a short story that was mostly just action and required different camera angles, then drew those shorts as 30-40 second scenes Storyboard style
In my 2d animation class, we practiced timing, bouncing balls, secondary action, etc.
With concept art we looked at dofferent concept artists, and tried replicating their style, and then we found pre-existing short stories (that didnt come with images) and created designs of the characters.
Sorry if this was a lot but idk i just felt like maybe givign you some leads for what to stsrt with in case you do decide to start learning on your own.
There are also people on youtube showing their animation practices thst you can get inspiration off of
Theres also online animation courses, you should definitely research good ones if you're interested in that bc some just yap but don't give you that much material despite you paying for it. I usually trust asking reddit for thst since its real people instead of some article thats probably being paid to tell you about a course and not givign an honest opinion.
@@samc5602 thanks for the advice! i've been looking to find some programs to practice animating on but i'm unsure what to use. most people say procreate and i've tried that one and flippaclip, but is there anything else you would reccomend?
I'm an '04 kid and I totally understand you about teaching. I'm studying for a history degree, and without fail, everytime I tell people that, they ask if I'm going into teaching. Problem is, I know I would commit unalive if I ended up in that career. My mom's a teacher so I know a couple of the more hidden... parts, I also have social anxiety, and believe myself to be dumb. But of course, there's practically no other jobs in the career. I dream of working at a museum or in a library, but as I've been told time and again that's not a good job to have for the rest of my time in the workforce. I can't up and change my major because I'm already in my Junior year of college and that's too much time and money that would be wasted than I am conceivably comfortable with. I also have a twin, who goes to the same college as I, and has her career path planned out. Maybe it's just my depression and self-hatred talking, but if I don't graduate in the same year as her, I might still unalive myself.
Sorry for the rant, but I've been dying to get it off my chest for years now.
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." -Ferris Bueller
Facts brother, loved that quote in my early teenage years haha
If life move fast, stop and look around would make me lose my opportunity because life is moving fast and leave me behind.
If anyone is going to go to college make sure you know what your doing if you go that route if not go to trade school. The only jobs in the future will be the ones within the clergy class aka the enforcers who protect the rich class. Art is dead thanks to AI. These are the engineers building automation, the nurses taking care of "the truthers" in nursing homes, the accountants (don't spend six years for a CPA with no work experience if you go this route, get temp jobs for experience and work your way up) who are bean counters for big companies, the tradesmen building the pod homes, the teachers who produce "human capital", and the police and military who secure the wealth of the ruling class.

Create and turn life into your inspiration and ideals
Born in 2010 here.
Yeah, I’m young. 13 years old. And I so, so relate to this video. My whole life, at school, it’s always been “You’re too young, you have time.” And “You have years, don’t worry about the future.”
No, Carol, I don’t have time. I don’t have years. Every choice I make now, *will* affect me in the future. Every decision, every pencil mark, affects me. I HAVE to worry about the future, because that’s the place I’m ending up. I have no doubt about it.
It’s why I care so much about the environment, people, and *everything*. If we don’t stop now, there’s not going to be anything to look forward to in the Future, because there will be no future. I’m worrying now, so I can live in the future. And not end up stuck in the past with no hope for anyone.
If there was advice I could give to the future generations, or anyone in general?
Care about the present. Because if the present is dying, there will be no future. No future to look forward to. No future to laugh in, to die in, to smile and dance and cry and get hurt in.
And especially, be yourself. It sounds cliche, I know, but if you just look at yourself right now. How does it feel around people, when you put up your facade? Does it feel good? Do you feel happy? Do you feel fulfilled?
The answer is: No. It doesn’t feel good, it doesn’t make you happy and it doesn’t fulfill you. It feels awful. *Because it isn’t you.*
You aren’t perfect. Humans cannot be perfect. And that’s what we are. Humans.
And with that, I have one last thing to say:
Being perfect isn’t real. It’s just not. The only perfectness in this world is imperfection.
Beautiful perfectly perfect imperfectness.

Ngl, the timing is graduation season so ur definitely not alone

Same lmao. fresh out of high school, heading to college for art next year despite knowing damn well I probably don't want to do art for a job....because, well, I have to study SOMETHING and art is the only thing I even remotely enjoy. Who knows if I'll be able to eat as an adult?

You are not your own person, you must use your treatment of others as a metric for what sort of person you are.

Absolutely. Morals are king.
Gotta question everything you see and hear. Then decide on what to believe.
That’s what we call “The court of public opinion”, and It never folds. As any humans are, we are not infallible. We make mistakes.
To be honest, I really feel sorry about the creator in the video getting dragged down by someone this insulting. I really wonder why they are still doing this to others.
Thanks man! I'm honestly struggling with weather i should please other or do what seems right to me and how/if i can do both. We learn from the people around us but it's nice to know that the things you learn don't always have to be the things you are ❤
I've never had a dream job. I always liked building or cement because my dad did it, but it just didn't stick. When people asked me I would say "I wanna work fast food" and all my teachers told me I needed to aim higher. I never meant that I wanted to be at fast food for my whole life, but I just didn't have a goal. Everyone around my is pushing to do this and that but I just want to live a life I'm proud of. I'm happy this video popped up because it's really inspiring.
you can make your own fast food business like McDonalds or KFC
I feel the same! It feels like all my teachers have this great expectation of me that i just can't live up to. I have no ambitions as a human person, I don't feel like I have a place in society. The concept of a "dream job" is so foreign to me I just wanna do something that lets me live my life fully and true to myself but that sounds like an impossible task when i dont even know what that is.
Same I have all these talents and abilities but I never had the ambitions and I never really thought hard about what I wanted to do or be super inspired to get a special job. The last time I felt that was when I wanted to be fire fighters and police man. But that was short term.
I was born in 2005, whenever something doesnt go right in my life i always say to myself "oh well it is what it it"
It is, indeed, what it is

Thank you. I feel like gen z is one of the first to really document and share the experience of growing up in such a chaotic world (especially the 21st century). Not just by forcing acceptance of the existential dread, but in sharing the feeling and learning to move forward and trust that it will be ok. I’ve come to realize that all I’ve done more than enough and just reaching for the next goal is a great way to achieve lots and still find contentment.
That's so true❤
My mother taught me a very good lesson about feeling behind, and that is, the only person you can be behind, is your past self, allways compare to how far you've come, rather than how far you haven't yet reached.
Wise words!
Damn instead of mother ,thats my aunt who if i remember i always compare to cousin who achieve good thing
@@fallen6060 Something i learnt aswell, is if you know people who you feel are ahead of you, or even know more than you, ask them everything you can to learn more, i have a rly smart friend who makes me look like i know nothing, rather than feel shitty, i learn from him.
your mother is very wise, may she live a long and happy life
You have a W mum bro, I absolutely loved that ❤
Born in 2006, and I hate the idea of a "career", it almost seems like I should just live off grid and I'd be happier.
Working a job genuinely irks me, I can really only work for myself tbh
Edit: Hey Mom look I'm famous, and it's all because of Ted Kaczynski! If Jak commented on this it would make my Day :)
I think the same. There's something about living off the grid that entices me.
i feel exactly the same way, i don't feel like I was made to live the same mediocre life as most other people in the world, I'm ambitious and want to accomplish things but it doesn't help when all my peers consistently tell me that's an unrealistic goal and that i have to live the same boring formulaic lives as them
@@Zyganul
Something about the idea of living in a cave and waking up to go hunt just sounds epic.
Like people view modernity as a necessity, but I genuinely feel like it's more of a burden than a help xD
@@ZiloeHere I will say this, I would rather be broke and living on the streets than to slave my life away to the capitalistic war machine.
I've realized my want for money equals independence, but I've only viewed independence through a scope of society, if I withdrew myself of society the scope widens for independence
On a more positive note, we 2006 kids are adults now
School failed me, it failed me horrifically bad. If it wasn't 13 year old me not knowing what he wanted to do, it was bullying by staff and students because I was Autistic and I learned they thought I deserved it.
I was put in counselling and had to drop out with PTSD. My friends? Other high school kids? Graduated, moved on, now graduated there and working.
Where am I? Just starting my dream course in E-sports. I lived and breathed that for YEARS! Something 13 year old me didn't tell my teachers because I knew they would laugh at me.
But I got my dream course. And I hope to GOD I can excel for once like I used to and not be bullied anymore.
The world isn't fair, and for some reason, 2004 and up kids... It got harder for us.
But know what? We're still going, right? Every day we keep pushing. So, in that way, we're winning, right?
Damn I'm sorry for what you went though I'm glad you are going well I wish you the best in life
@@TheFairestBearAs a fellow autistic man (2008) looking in from Sweden…
What the fuck is going on in America? Teachers bullying their students? Disrespecting Esports just because it’s “not normal” I assume? And funneling people toward a specific thing no matter what the person who will live that career, who will live that life has to say about the matter?
God damn I’m privileged to only have had to deal with other elementary students bullying me, and middle-high school teens being off putting. I desperately hope that other kids and teens around the world get the treatment that I got, the treatment that they deserve. I hope this behavior of “funneling” people into lives they might not want is immediately cut out of modern society, lest it creates millions of new young adults, who believe that they are at fault for being unhappy with their lives, when the system they followed so well was what led them there instead. Good luck, you better win a major someday for me OP.
@@SilverIV Notic country's are some of the safest schools man I wish I was there
School didn't fail you. You failed yourself.
@@SilverIVAmerica is the only worthwile country from what I'm hearing. Saying you want to be in Esports is like saying you want to be a professional sports player. Except sports gives you physical reward.
0:46 so did anyone expect this video to go in a COMPLETELY different direction before this part?
