Where'd those years go?

Back when i was in Year 8 i had just arrived at a new school and was out to impress. I fell into a crowd that smoked heavily. I remember smoking before school, at school and after school. Many of the days i don't remember, in fact A LOT of the days i don't remember. I don't remember how i got to and from school, i didn't know how my marks where going, i didn't know how i acted around my family. I just can't remember.

The one thing i do remember is walking along the road and getting paranoid thinking that cars where just going to drive into me. I was so scared that a car would have a fishing rod on top of their car and it would stab into my head (don't ask). After i started getting itchy, i thought it was bad. I don't remember how i got off it. I don't remember a lot of those years and sometimes i think to myself where'd those years go?

Well it's lucky for you that school is a waste of time anyway, buddy! See how the problems started here have everything to do with just wanting to fit in at a new school? Pity society is wired such a way that differences are extenuated and everyone is afraid of everyone. And kids on poor diets & all sorts of prescription drugs (or both) bouncing off the walls making life hell for the more balanced ones. It's enough to make you want to get high and forget about it all... But I guess we're not here to pick out anything else but marijuana being the problem huh? Don't worry about those years mate, I'd do anything to get rid of a lot of my school memories. they were fucked and I learnt nothing but disinformation in high school and have been "re-educating" myself ever since. Look ahead and get all the self-esteem you need from confronting your problems because you deserve it, well done.
Marijuana "addiction" and "long term effects" are all a state of mind, and are what you make them out to be, and school is indeed a waste of time.
