What happens to those who work hard in school, and those who don't?

[Definitelynotatroll]

What happens to the popular kids who always get kicked out of class and argue with the teacher, and rarely do their work in class? Who care about the latest shoes and the media and Instragram and Facebook? Who never studies and get bad grades? Who has a good social life in school and gets all of the respect?

What happens to the kid that isn't popular, but gets good grades in school? That don't go to big events at school, because they want to study? Who studies on breaks and weekends when they don't need to, and has a bad social life? Who overall works very hard during their childhood?

How will each of these kids live in the future as an adult? Who's life will be more enjoyable as an adult? Which of these kids future kids will have an enjoyable life?And why?

The kids who study hard might have a shit future, and the kids who get bad grades might have an awesome future.. or it could be the other way round, you never know. That's how I see it. My father dropped out of school when he was sixteen, didn't get the greatest grades but is now a business man in the making! earning lots of money! it's not always about grades, it's about who you know also.

If you don't develop the social skills, at least to a certain degree, in high school, as an adult you will find yourself lonely. Successful, but lonely. You will also miss out on many opportunities for unique memories and fun. What's the point of living life if you aren't enjoying it? Why have a career where you make $150,000 when it's stressful and time consuming, and you rarely get to enjoy what you have in life on a daily basis? What's the point in being successful if you, deep inside, cannot find joy and happiness? One could self-sacrifice for a child, but other than that, it makes no sense. When you are laying on your death bed, and look back on your life, what will you see? What will you have experienced? What will you have gotten out of life? Be careful with focusing too much on studies, and rejecting the rest of the world. There's a good chance you will find yourself empty and lonely one day. Obviously it's good to stay on top of school work, and do what is expected in school so that you create more options for employment in the future. But don't over do it. Good luck!
