Are we talking about a Christian chat room?

I agree with you. I wasn't fighting at all though, I was just explaining to her that she wasn't bringing me into her drama. Like I said, I don't talk to most of the associates if it doesn't have to do with work. I do my job and I leave. I'm very friendly with everyone but that's because I'm a positive person and I don't want to be the one that makes the environment a negative one. I don't listen to anyone's stories about other associates. I've literally walked away from people who begin to talk to me about other associates. I don't want anything to do with it. But yeah, there's drama everywhere.

I disagree. Although there is a lot of stereotyping involved in schooling and later in life when you begin to work, that's simply how life is, and it's up to you whether you want to deal with the drama. At my job, there is a lot of drama. That's how life works. I just go in, do my job, and I leave. I don't associate with my co-workers outside of work and keep things strictly professional. It's the best way to just avoid problems with people.

Now as far as school goes, if you plan on going and doing something at home for the rest of your life because you don't want to deal with the potential drama of normal life, I suppose that's your decision, but it's a socially healthy thing to do. As far as the curriculum that you deal with, it's a broad area of topics because these topics are what help you decide what you're going to be as an adult. If you were not good with math, maybe you shouldn't be an accountant. If you were bad with science, maybe you shouldn't plan on being a chemist or anything along those lines. If you were not good with your social studies courses, you probably shouldn't go into politics or plan a history teacher. It's just a matter of expanding your knowledge and helping you to decide what you want to do with your life.

Most institutions of higher education also require you to take general education courses. As a freshman in college, I can tell you that I have to take a math and science class before I graduate, and as annoying as that it, I totally understand that it'll make me a more knowledgeable person. I realize that I will not need to know much about statistics or chemistry or any of the natural sciences in the field of law, but I understand the concept of having general education courses as graduation requirements.

I consider myself an optimist, not because I'm a happy-go-lucky person that's always hoping for the best and thinking that things could never go wrong, but because I believe that it's healthier to see things in a positive light as opposed to always searching for the negative in things and in people.
