In school, we learn concepts that only stay in my mind until after the test. However, I have learned nothing in school about real life issues that will come affect you day after day in your future. For instance, you spend the majority of your 19 years of life stuck in school learning about things you forget over summer. You dont learn things that are essentail to life such as being a moral person and dealing with love or losing a close one. School is said to help you prepare for the future but all its preparing you to do is find the angle measurements of a triangle. Nothing taught in school is in a deep meaningful aspect that actually changes you. It seems as though the events that affect our lives the most are the ones we NEVER focus upon in school. These events such as losing a loved one can cause depression and many other complicated feelings that us teenagers don't know how to handle because it was never truly taught to us. We feel alone and left for dead because no one is there that understands.
Additionly, we are never taught about love and marriage and making a commitment. Marriage and finding that one special person is a major event in a persons life and it is never touched upon in class. Everybody had their assumptions on what love is but nobody knows exactly since its never talked about. Now don't get me wrong, teachers don't hold all the right answers. I've also heard that love is found differently with each person however, we as students aren't taught that and expect a fairy-tale ending.
In short, the things that mean the most to us are the ones everyone seems to shy away from.
