Swimming in the ocean is hard enough as it is. When you get tired and stop for a second to rest the salt water gets into your mouth and nose and becomes unbearable. Suddenly drowning is terrible. Just like drowning in homework. Teachers just hand out busy work to fulfill their sick desire to see kids struggle.

Teenagers are not meant to be fish. Despite what people think we actually do our homework. We just don’t have time to finish all of it because every teacher assigns homework like theirs is the only class we attend. Hello….!? I mean seriously, why do they do this to us?!

Just last night I stayed up until 3 a.m. doing a mountain of chemistry and algebra homework. Plus I had to practice my bass clarinet for a test required for band. Uggggggg.

It almost feels like, when teachers find out about kids who are in an extracurricular activity their beady eyes zero in and their predator instincts ache for the kill. BAM! They hit you with the biggest load of busy work that you’ve ever seen, and that you obviously won’t be able to finish in class or at home.

That night after your game or concert ends and you look at all the work and you suddenly feel like you’re gasping for breath. The wave of homework crashes over your head and you’re drowning.
