    Lost youth

    I shake my head when I read of kids like this. How can someone not have a day off from school in ten years? Being off school was a part of growing up for me. It was usually when the house was unattended (admittedly she was at the shops buying lucozade, pop, crisps, pies and other special requests I made to make me better), and the old internet porn got hammered.

    I think it’s really important to have a good attendance record because I’m more likely to get a good job.”

    Life moves pretty fast.

    If you dont stop and look around every once in a while, you might miss it.

    if someone broke a collar bone they would not be alowed into school, i broke me leg once and had to be off cos it was a risk incase i fell over or somet. i hit me mate in the balls with me crutches when i finally got back like so i think they must have meant i was the danger

    I had a perfect record until I got given a detention in the last week before the summer holidays. No other teachers made anyone do work in that week and the worst thing was that I'd actually done the work. After that I turned into a right little cunt.

    I regularly bunked off school, did no school work and managed to do all my exams with about 2 weeks revision.

    ... ditto for university, where i turned up for about 5 lectures in my third year, and just scraped a 3rd class honours degree out of the jaws of a near total fail.

    Theres no real point to this post, but i felt the need to share it anyway.
