10 reasons to lower the driving age, the pains of year 11, the future and living life.

Yes, aren't you lucky...two posts in one day. This time I'm here to rant.
I'm just bored. Aha! How many times have you heard that one?
Being young is just impossible, and I'm not wishing my life away because I'm scared stiff of growing up, but c'mon!

The government complain of knives and teenagers with knives. In the paper today I read about a young adult that they're after for graffiting. I wonder why people do these things? Teenage pregnancy is another one people moan about. Next year, I will be legal to have sex and theoretically allowed to have a baby (Dad might have something to say about that) but soceity frown upon it because we're too young! We can't change the law, we're not legal to vote or anything like that. Have a look at the states, now, I'm not going to say they're doing everything right because they're not. But at the age of 16, you can drive! I mean, they dont have any problems with teenage pregnancy!

My point is, if teenagers could drive:
1) They wouldn't be hanging on the streets. 2) They could go places, and not be tempted to drink which often leads to sex (lets face it guys.) 3) They could visit more places in the country because to be honest I've had it up to here *indicates top of head* with adults moaning about how un cultured teenagers are. 4) no more "I'm bored comments" 5) It would teach us the value of money - tax, insurance, petrol etc etc. 6) It would teach responsibility 7) Adults can stop becoming taxi services 8) Teenagers will have more incentive to join clubs because they don't need to worry about transport which will encourage social skills. 9) It will encourage teenagers to spend less time on the internet 10) It can be used as a punishment, "If you do that again I will take your car off you!" :)

I know that it wont be during my time but I will be thankful the second I see teenagers driving.
Look at this way, I could, be married, with child, smoking, covered in piercings and working before I could drive. Pathetic. I have definitley decided, if I could drive, I would drive to Wales all the time and I would go to the beach alot. Yes, I would experience real fresh air!

So, it's year 11 for me when I go back to school. Alot of kids look forward to this year, mainly because its the shortest school year with exam leave and stuff. I'm glad I will be going back to school because I will have something to do, but it means I have to think about 6th form, grr. Then, when the year finishes, and I'm on exam leave, I will be bored...all over again! I suppose this time round I will have some studying to do, but once exams are finished what will I do? I can't drive anywhere. I might just go round sexing people cause of the bordem...yes goverment, you drove me to it! I am joking, I have managed so far to avoid most social atrocities that teenagers commit and I plan on it staying that way but just so you know...It is possible!

What do I want to do then after year 11? Well the school have had us thinking about it this year and I have known what I have wanted to do since some years back. First and foremost, I have had to give up my dream of being on stage and don't give me that, never give up crap because the business is getting harder and harder to get into. Plus I have too much of an academic brain to waste my life on something like performing :(. I will take drama as far as I can in my life, all the way to university if I can (oh wow, a teenager who wants to carry on school all the way to uni! Yes, it's true!)

I want to go to 6th form, most probably at Ounsdale, the school I'm at now. I am registered as Gifted & Talented in school so I can ask to take 5 A levels. Aren't I special? It's not my fault I enjoy learning. If I could do that, I will most probably take:
Drama or Performing Arts,
History,
English Lit and Lang,
Pyschology and
Sociology.

History and Psychology are definites. I would like to take Performing Arts over drama but it is a BTEC subject and some universities don't like them and the BTEC takes up like 2 A levels. So I might take drama, but if I take neither I will continue drama out of school. I would like to take Sociology along side Psychology, only because I think it will be usefull.

Psychology is what I want to study at university, preferably at Cardiff. I want to celebrate my Welsh herirtage by living in Wales at some point, this is a great way to do it, plus, they are known for their Psychology. Hopefully, I will do a year at Cardiff and get a scholarship to go to an American university. This is because I want to work and live in America. Why? Because, there is more money in Psychology over there and I America was a big part of my life when I was young, and it's just a place I want to be. I did initally think of just doing my Uni in America, but, a degree here is equivilant to an American masters, so I might do it this way. So, what is my back up plan? I don't have one, I'm not giving myself the choice.

Why Psychology? Because I'm good at it. It's something my Dad is well into and I have picked it up from him, I watch too much Criminal Minds and have picked it up from there. I spend alot of my time listening to other people and helping themselves sort it out, so I guess I'm a natural. I find it amazingly intresting, I'm an extremley nosey person and love figuring things out about people and to do it on a higher level that I'm doing it now is just a goal.

After that I'm going to find a husband, nice house, and two children (Ryan and I have had this discussion, obviously it is him that I will marry) :) Why do I know what I want? because I'm so bored from not driving I have nothing else to do apart from thinking about the future - it's all I have.

I just want to get out of Wombourne. It's soooo boring! It is full of racist old people. I can't stand the lack of privacy, I don't want to do anything in the fear people I know will see me or be there. There is no where to go, no where to walk to. I have to catch the dingey bus to get out the area and even then I go to three places, Town (even less privacy & cold), Merry Hill (Gets old after 3 years) and Stourbridge (Full of muggers, nothing to do, also cold.) I'm generally not trusted by my Father to do much anyway. I feel locked inside my bedroom, with only a computer screen for company, it's so frustrating. I can't wait until I can start climbing, if I'm allowed, but I have to find a descent centre first!

Prom this year! I suppose I act more excited than I am for it. I'm on the year book comitee though so I got a bit of a job to do this year. I don't know what I'm going to do though cause I don't have a date or nothing and I don't know what I want for transport, or for a dress. The thought of wearing dress infront of lots of other people is daunting. Especially as the other girls in my school are gorgeous I don't know how I'm even going to compare.

Yuck! I am bored of realtionship problems. Trust me, I don't have any, but I do know alot of people who do. I wish that for once people just lived! Just be happy. Live life. I can't stand people who continually throw,"Live life to the full, you only have one life" and other such sayings in your face when they have done something stupid like smoked weed. To me, living life to the full is all about looking at what you want to enrich your life with and seizing every moment to ensure you fulfill it. Not wasting a day (which I have said before includes learning something everyday), taking the bad things in life, finding the silver lining but finding the passion to stand up for what you think is wrong because it is only human to be negative. I understand living in the now, because no, you don't know what will happen tomorrow, but what happens if you survive tomorrow and the day after and the day after and the day after that? All I'm, saying is, live life but don't screw up your future. Just to prove a point I heard that these two lads got killed in a motorbike accident. They were both high and stole the motorbike...turns out living life to the full worked out for them.

I don't know about you, but I'm slightly bored now, quote anyone?
