CA, you're exactly right. I only have this one time in my life to waste my time in front of a X-box, getting in a car wreck, getting high on drugs or alcohol, and in my spare time maybe knock up some girl. Yep. I'm terribly sorry that I'm wasting my life doing school on the internet and not having much peer pressure to deal with. Living out where I can continue to grow my love of Agriculture and to set myself up for success in my adult life is a horrible waste of being 14. SO sorry.
Peer pressure unfortunatly helps prepare kids for life. Life is about pressure and making the right choices. In a school setting not only are the subjects taught but also valuable lessons about being social and choices. I believe in this more daily as the world we live in comprimises principle more and more. Children have to be prepared to face the day to day ugliness. It's just what the society has become.
Grow a love of agriculture and in ten years the living that a place is making will not be making that same living. Expenses are going up and it's taking more and more cattle to make ends meet. One day it will be the big guys I do honestly believe that. If a person doesn't forsee that then I ask how many under 300 cow ranches do you see anymore? If you see them do they have jobs in town too?
I never brought up beer. I had a ton of fun in high school cruising around with friends without beer involved. Driving around, the windows down, and the music blaring. Just laughing being young. I didn't bring up getting any girls pregnant either because you have to leave the computer for that to happen too.
I just can't fathom being young and being so intrigued by a bunch of older people fighting on the internet. Hell I can't believe I"m my age and am here as much as I am.
Maybe we should both go find a life. :?
