Why do adults lie to kids/teenagers that there’s such thing as the “real world” and that it gets better after high school.

That high school dynamic never goes away.

Even on here where posters make fun of people for peaking on high school be having mean girls tactics like neg and rep. And make fun of you for a recent join date (freshman friday ass nikkas).

This thread reminds me of an teacher in high school that said the opposite of the thread title.

"The real world will bite you in the ass"


"They don't give a damn about you out there"


Being a little over an decade removed from High School, I must say he was right

There will always be hierarchy in society. The real world after high school is better because you’re not forced to be apart of certain hierarchies like high school.

If you’re an introvert you can find a career path that suits you. If you’re into nerdy shyt there’s plenty of college clubs for that where you can find like minded people.

I’m also convinced forums draw in a certain demographic of slightly socially awkward people. So there’s that. No one uses forums anymore in 2022.

I was told reality and blunt facts. You gotta watch how to approach things with each teen these days. I make sure I take time to tell them the truth but in a way where it won't kill em.

Dude was a glorified baby sitter who got paid 40k a year to teach kids who could care less with a mountain of student debt. Of course he thought life sucks .

Ask Lebron James, Tom Brady, or any other successful adult about the “real world”.

Difference is if you’re getting marginalized or bullied as an adult you can stop it or change jobs etc.

Mad nikkas changed schools because of bullying

The bullying in adulthood is just more subtle but a lot more hurtful overall

Because they gonna play with your pockets

Corporate America is just high school with money Brodie

The popular kids get to work on all the cool shyt get the easy jobs etc.


While the nerdy / un popular pushover dudes actually got to earn their keep and are the first to get fired

You right tho cause telling them the whole truth might make them commit dat smh.


I used to be mad at adults for lying to me about some shii but now I get that sometimes lies are necessary

Worry about being popular or cool as a grown man/woman brehs

 

[BrothaZay]

You ain’t lying. The real world is high school with more freedom

 

[CapitalforCapital]

Y’all stay this and then make a post about negging someone. And form cliques like sohh Icey and then post thread saying free rep with posters begging for rep. And then pander for daps. And talk about how much money you make, cars you drive and bytches you fukk And beg for fukkery drama and gossip

I say all that to say this y’all some hypocrites

And it’s usually the most try hard posters who try to act like they above the shyt

Shii I was told that too. But that wasn’t true either. I don’t know breh I always hung out with people older than me so my life has pretty much been the same my whole life

School was boring. Couldn’t relate to my peers. Only went to school for sports and fukkery

School for me was a huge waste of time only went cause there was nothing else to do and my momma wouldn’t let me drop out

But I got a degree tho so idk worked out for the best
