I am so angry right now because of something someone said to me and i just find it absolutely insulting and stereotypical of people. Why do we all live in such a superficial world where grades reflect your self worth to the world and where people cry and get depressed over a piece of fucking paper only serving a purpose to get into university in the end.

i am NOT saying that A levels is NOT important. IT FUCKING IS.

Im talking about if it doesnt works out, its not the end of the world, even though to a 18/19 year old it is. But the world is so much more than that. If you are one of that kind of person who thinks that people who cant go to university are just failures in life, fuck the hell off away from me. I absolutely abhor such people. Does having a degree assure that you  will get a high paying job next time? Generally of course. But this doesnt give people the right to say that without a degree you arent going to be successful in life, or yet worst being categorized as someone who is a failure in life. For all you know, they are going to be your boss next time and being more successful in life than you will ever be with that god damn degree. Drop that superficial attitude and mindset because life is more than just pieces of paper which quite determines the rest of your life. We take A levels for the sake of going into university, but when it doesnt work out there is always other options. I think i have a fair argument here given the fact that i have not sat for my A levels and got my certificate, A levels definitely makes me feel like my intelligence is nowhere near others, inadequate, low self esteem because i couldnt reach my goal even till prelims. But these are the harsh conditions that we are put into to push ourselves to push our limits, to make ourselves to be the best of what we can be. The society made us feel this way just to condition us to strive for the better. But even through the process of working hard and pushing your limits and one still cannot make it, it fucking doesnt mean one is stupid, it just means that studying is just isnt their forte, or maybe a late bloomer.

People are put in very harsh conditions of pressure, expectations to only show ourselves how strong we really are to push through all these obstacles, may be through tears, through having countless anxiety attacks, through depression even. That being said, It already shows how strong someone is just by completing their A levels even though they know they couldnt make it, because there are so many, just way too many people who fail to enter the exam hall because they are overwhelm by the fear of failure.

Dont ever let a piece of paper determine your self worth, this is what Jana said to me and its true. Society would always keep pushing you to test your limits, to go beyond boundaries. Countless people have succeeded without a degree, so dont ever say that they are failures. Because people who have mindsets like you are the losers because they fail to see the meaning of life, the meaning of true strength when you get knocked down by a big failure in life in As only to get back up on your feet again. Dont look down on people because you arent so great yourself. Life will continue to throw shit at you, and people like you who have this mindset will just break and crumble if you are faced with this kind of set back.
