It's a new schooling year and with it comes more trouble.
On the very first day of school I am hit by "Go cut your hair it's too long" s*** everywhere. I have cut my hair so that it cannot be any shorter (go ask the hairdresser if you don't believe me) and yet our beloved Nosey Parkers still have the audacity to insist that I cut my hair so that it meets their standards. Well, no thank you. Your standards aren't my standards. Want to know what my standards are? I judge people by their brains and morality, which is more than can be said of you guys. Oh yes, you may go around acting all pious and saying :"We are fair in our judgement of students and don't judge them by their looks!" Well, you can't fool me. I've seen enough of your dirty tactics to be fooled by your pious demeanour. So you think only students with short, short hair are worthy to be called good students? If so, you might as well transform this school into a school for monks and nuns and everybody has to shave their heads bald. Only that way evryone can be a "good student".
But then you claim :"We're only acting according to the school rules! It's your own fault for not obeying them!" Heck, don't you have the authority to change the school rules? It's not like they're set by God and nobody can challenge them! "It's all for your own good" you say? I don't think short hair does anyone any good. Well, except perhaps keeping cool in hot weather. But then, I don't mind! If I'm hot, it's me who suffers and not you. So it's none of your business, dear little busybodies. At this age we ought to have the freedom of choice anyway. How wonderfully cracked in the head our educators are. The older we are, the less freedom we get. In what way, you ask? Well, let me tell you! Small kids in kindy are allowed to dress in what they want to and keep their hair the way they want to. In primary school, they have to wear uniforms and in certain schools keep short hair, but the rules aren't very strict about hair. So long as it looks reasonably short and isn't messy, no one bothers. When you reach secondary school, bang! Your life is shattered into shambles. What with rules about this and about that, and hair only a certain length, and not being allowed to bring liquid paper and presents to school and so on. Hey, idiots, what good are these rules doing us? Don't carry out the old excuse of "It's all for your own good" to every student. We're not so stupid as to blindly believe every word of yours. I think you must all be suffering from a borderline authoritarian personality disorder! In other words, you're a dictator and a mental sadist who loves controlling people and seeing them suffer. In that case, go refer yourself to a psychologist immediately instead of further torturing us. Please. We're not brainless worms or jellyfish, we have the ability to think for ourselves. Obeying the rules set out by you blindly is not a good way to shape the future leaders of this country. Yes, there must be certain rules or chaos will reign, but your rules have gone too far. They're downright demeaning and undermine our ability to think for ourselves. They make us appear like little 3-year-olds who don't know a thing and have to be instructed in everything! Oh yes, we might act like kids sometimes, but are our hair and nails and handphones etc. to blame for that? A person morality doesn't depend on his/her blindly following set rules. Look here, if you really want us to obey your idiotic rules, then give us ample and reasonable explanations for the setting up of each rule. Otherwise, there'll be rebellion. Really big rebellion. What kind of school is this anyway? Freedom of speech, not allowed. Freedom to decide on our appearance, not allowed. Freedom to decide on what's suitable for us (in a limited way), not allowed. If it continues this way, we might be just chickens in a coop waiting for certain slaughter. For chickens can't decide what's going to happen to them. The farmer feeds them, they eat, even if it's poison. (What you say, we absorb without protest). What the farmer says they cannot do, they won't do it. (We blindly obeying instructions). The farmer slaughters them, they die bewildered not knowing what is wrong. ( We being punished for non-existent, and often ridiculous so-called "offences")
What the heck is wrong with the education system?!
Of course, you will say:" If you don't like this school and can't follow it's rules, transfer lah!" Thank you for the kind suggestion. I was thinking of doing just that if conditions don't improve in three months. Why need I remain in this hellhole anyway? Some (not all, there are plenty of teachers who are genuinely concerned about their students) teachers make me feel like a useless freak. The so-called teachers who are supposed to help their students call me ugly. ( There you go, judging people by looks). Damn, damn, and damn. The only reason why I stay in this hellhole is because of friends.If not, I would transferred after just a few months and reported this hellhole to the press for human rights abuse. ( Heck, we can't make even the most basic decisions).
How pitiful we students are. We are nothing...
Except perhaps chickens in a coop.
