Originally posted by badmoonIf i got depressed at school, people would say "school is the best time of your life, make the most of it." What a ridiculously depressing thing to say so someone in that context.
School is among the most incredible experiences that you'll ever have.
Embrace it. You will miss it.
I used to think, "Well if it all goes downhill from here, and i am miserable now, that's a real downer."
I will always tell depressed youngsters. " Yes, school can be a bit of a nightmare, life gets better when you decide for yourself when you will go to bed and what you will do all day etc."
Originally posted by lauseyLife doesn't go downhill after school, but if you say school is the best time of your life.... then that is the implication. I don't think people should say it to kids. Especially when they are unhappy at school, which is the time that it gets said.
Life shouldn't go downhill after school. It should be just as exciting and challenging. People who think that school sucks are the ones who will end up looking back and thinking that they wish they worked harder at school.

I meant that if people work hard at school, develop strong foundations, their life will get better.
