: DADDIO: Uh....dude, I hate to be the one to break this to you, but you are NOT "ok". Your writing is at about a 5th grade level,

Oh, I'm sorry I dont' use big, impressive words like "dude" like you do.

: but because you think you've been around long enough to "turn out" to be something, I'd guess that you are probably a highschool student. Pretty sad. But don't feel TOO bad, you're in good company. You are probably every bit as literate as most of your ninth grade class.

Oh, well actually I graduated high school a few years ago with a 3.92 gpa with distinguished honors in French, the Sciences and U.S. History and Govt. Scored 1300 on the SAT's, finished real estate academy and received my R.E. license and am now working on a career in law enforcement.
I'm not exalting myself, Lord knows I'm just an average student, just like almost everybody else. My point is that public school works whether you like it or not. We're not being brainwashed like zombies. People like me who went to public school know that school is what prepares you for a successful life. Maybe dropping out and becoming a bum with a cynical view on life was good enough for you, but most other people expect better of themselves.
