When is it ever enough? Straight A's in 10, 15 subjects. The acceptance standard is just too much.

Being Dumb or Smart does play a role. What will happen to the less fortunate ones, dump them aside so they can rot and die?

At the risk of sounding like a preacher, let me say that you shouldn't be studying for any reason except to learn, that is enough. Never work harder on pleasing others than you do on learning what you want to. I realize the current educational system is not much more that a cookie cutter to stamp out as many of the same copies as possible of the same kids. Because of this many of today's young people tend to feel
non-unique. For this reason they seek to gain the respect, or gratification of others often at the expense of their own. It is good to want to do well, and it is also nice to get some positive feed-back if you achieve. But never give up your dreams, your needs or your self-respect to achieve any goal. If you do you have become that non-unique person, the one who thinks his/her existence is based on how well they please others. Always do the best you can at whatever you do, that way, even if you fail, you will know you did your best and will have no reason for shame or self pity. You can't be yourself if you imitate someone else.

People are suppose to study in order to pass their classes so they can get an education and a good job.

if u'r having a hard time studying it only means you are dumb. maybe school is not for you. there's life outside of school. either way you look at my comment, consider it a challenge. have a nice day

I don't know, but what a waste of energy.

The only person you should want to please is yourself. If you are satisfied, then others will approve...if that's what you need.

I don't need your approval. I am comfortable with me just the way I am. If you can't accept me this way, that's too bad.

To reach highest level of knowledge in specific topic, we study hard. This makes us perfect in our subject and not please someone.

Because it makes us feel good about ourselves to have the approval of other people. especially people we look up to.
