throwing away your life is retarded...  work for a bit and get your ass into college then you can ski all you like once you graduate with a legit degree...

im not one, my parents seem to think i am though. i get decent grades, i have a 3.4 and am in all the honors classes and AP bio. i could get better grades if i tried harder, but i think that getting pretty good grades while having tons of fun is more important than getting straight a's and just being a loser. my parents dont seem to think so though, so we argue about it a lot. its not going to change the fact that id chose having a good time all the time over getting straight a's.

I sort of am, and my grades are decent. Unlike everyone else posting in this thread my grades actually went up when i started blazing and in first term when I discovered the wonderous joys of mdma/e, shrooms and acid my grades were the highest they had ever been in 3 years. Take that system, drugs made me smarter.

That first bit is my life so far, kinda. Not so much testing but drugs definitely put life in a whole new perspective (does that sentence make sense?). And hopefully I can retire by 30 too. But I agree, (if I may say so), I have a lot of potential which is wasted by unwillingness to actually sit down and work hard.

same, although i've decided to sacrifice a number of years of good skiing to get a good education. even if i went to CU boulder, i wouldnt have much time to ski anyways cause im in architecture and i love it more than skiing now anyways.

I have a job and I do decent in college.  So I'm more mediocre than a complete failure.  I only get to ski 2 days a week though so i would trade it.

for now my mom thinks im gonna fail at life and will be the disappointment of the family cuz all my family are lawyers, economists, business people and i wanna be an event planner or something fun... i dont rly know im still in high school tho, graduating this yr but have no idea what to do after besides skiing.

haha my mom had the amazing idea and told me i should probably just be a ski coach when i grow up.

my dad is convinced that i am a failure because i got a C in AP calculus. he thinks i never study and dont do any of my work, which is completly false. i have a 3.92 GPA and he thinks im going to fail at life because of it. my parents suck.

So what exactly do you do that will enable you to retire at 30?

3.92 is very respectable but a C in calc 1, especially in high school is not. im guessing if you just would have spent a little more time working coulda been an A. who cares though, its worth a B. just looks bad and way below the stand for a 3.9 student

same shit here, my parents wont tell me what i got on the IQ test, but they tell me im smart enought to get all a's easy.  but once i started drinking/smoking, i pull in b-/c+ through high school.  idk what i want to do yet.

BUT, to OP, i am the family failure.  my brother got straight a's in high school, and has a 3.8 in college, and he never gets in trouble with them, while i get the "you better turn your life around" speech almost once a month.

Aren't you the kid who's failing eighth grade math?

I think your parents have a right to be pissed.  What you're doing is a little lame.

by not showing up to class, spending 6 days a week on the hill, the rest of the time blazing/drinking with friends and the remainder of the time being spent on NS.
