Well, I don't really know why I'm sharing this with everybody, but I need to express how love up the US government is.
I haven't been going to public school since March of this year because I have social anxiety, so I signed up at compuhigh.com and have been taking courses there since. By law, I am still at the age that I am required to go to school, so taking courses online is a perfect substitute to public school because of my anxiety. This IS legal that I can do this, and after completion of x number of courses I can recieve my high school diploma just as anyone that graduates from a public school can.
Just today my parents went to court (I wasn't allowed to go for certain reasons that weren't expressed to me). The first issue they covered was my brother and I living with my dad. Both of us no longer wish to live with my mother, and by law I am at the age where I DO have the decision of which parent I wish to reside with. This was confirmed with a lawyer my dad spoke to. So the first step the jury does to love me and my dad over is require my dad to fork over $600/month child support to my mother even though I don't live with her! Then, on the same issue, they rule out that I can live with my dad, but my dad does not have legal custody of me and my mom can see me whenever she'd like. Hello, I thought I was at the age where I could live with whichever parent I wanted!? Apparently not to these bastards!
After that raping session, the next issue that was covered was me not going to school. Now, these assholes know that I'm going to Compuhigh, and they are aware that its legal, but they have to love us some more. They decide that my social anxiety is an issue (even though it has not been an issue for my family and I at all), so by law I have to take pills that my psychiatrist prescribes me or my parents will be sent to jail and I will be forced into some kind of government home. They DO NOT have the right to shove pills down my throat that I am not willing to take! It would be one issue if I had a serious condition, but I don't! This is completely ridiculous. But oh no, its not over yet. Each day my mom is required to come over to my dad's house and monitor me, making sure I take my pill. Am I retard? A 5 year old? Can I not take care of my self at 16 years old (which I have been doing)?
Lastly, I CANNOT speak to anyone who has made these decisions. I cannot attend court. Since I am not 18 years of age, I do not have the rights that an adult does, so they can love me however they want to and get away with it.
So, now I have learned that the system does not work for you, and that this democracy is not quite democratic, but closer to fascist. love you, United States government.
