There are two valuable things I gained from high school aside from friends and creative skills. One was my math teacher paying me to quit a nasty habit. I quit biting my fingernails and he gave me twenty bucks. I still don’t bite. The second was also from a male teacher. In a lecture during English one day he brought to my attention that apathy is worse than hatred and I completely agree. I would much rather someone I care about loathe me than completely disregard me and not care about me anymore. Hatred is still a form of care. There’s one person in particular who has been completely apathetic towards me as of late, and I would rather them hate me than treat me this way without giving me an explanation. Thanks for giving me a few things high school.
