Why are some people so lazy?! (1 Viewer)

[NewiJapper]

I just don't get it!?

Ok, so here's the full story. A couple of people at my school are contemplating quitting school. The only reason they are doing this is because they are failing everything, but I can understand why they are failing. *E.g. Writing english speeches in 15 minutes, not studying for anything etc* Then they go and complain about failing and henceforth want to drop out.

Some of them are my friends and I don't have the nerve to tell them that they are just being lazy and should pull their head in for one last year of school

I know, I know. Some people already have their direction in life at this moment and feel there are better options outside of school, but these are intelligent people *mostly somewhat *

But I just still don't get it!!! How can someone just be so lazy! It just peeves me off that they want to get the easy way out.

It's people like them who push our ATARs up.

Seriously though, make them talk to the school Principal or Counsellor maybe?

That summs up my year. That's what you're forced to deal with at poorly-ranked/country schools. Half of my year left to work at McDonalds.

we have chicks at my school exactly the same - don't hand in anything, are supposedly "too busy" and then have a whinge when they get awarded 0. i wish they would just drop out, waste of space.

do it

don't mock them

they are kids like you, and their choice to work at maccas doesn't neglect their intelligence

they probably have less pressures to complete schooling because the job market there is vastly different...

and

there are kids in the country and in the city who are not mature, those who in the city are often pushed more to perform better.

This is why universities place priorities for accepting mature aged students over school finishers, because those dropouts will eventually mature, complete schooling later and will have a better understanding on career choices than younger students

One of my firends was acting like that so I got ten other friends to help me and we set him straight.

Or maybe you should talk to their parents.

 

[GUSSSSSSSSSSSSS]

it's their own personal choice, let them do wat they want. Yea u can have a talk to them, maybe try to convince them to stay, however if they arent wanting to go to university then ur sorta wasting ur time...

many of my fren drop out end of yr10/throughout yr 11 cos they thought yr11 and yr12 wud be lots of work, they all got jobs now and are working well, so why shud they bother to stay in skool, work hard for 2 yrs, and get the same job as they wud if they dropped out of skool and DIDN do the HSC.

not everyone wants to do yr12, and not everyone needs to complete yr 12

 

[alex09hsc]

Fuck is that ur biggest worry

 

[b00m]

i hang out with a fairly intelligent group.. so i don't often encounter them kids too often

maybe there is some sort of 'procrastination' disease, lol.

 

[ninetypercent]

because they are stupid.

 

[Arcorn]

It depends, they may have some other problems that you don't know about that makes it hard for them to concentrate. Try to get them to go see the school counsellor and see if they can help at all.

Who cares. Just let them burn.
