Why do I have to go to school

My name is Rion “Rhino” Swart and I’m 15 years old and a grade 10 student at a high school. This message is meant for every child in school from grade 4-12.

The biggest questions a school child can ask is why do I have to write exams?, why do I have to study?, why do I have to do these subjects? and the biggest question of all is Why do I have to go to school???

I have had quite a wild ride in school myself, I have been bullied, spitted on, blamed for nothing, strangled, etc. however the important thing is that I’m through it and God helped me to get through it! There where days that I wanted to commit suicide by jumping off the 3rd floor, by putting a gun to my head, etc. But thank God I have a family that cares for me and keeps me from doing it!!

The thing is you may be bullied or hurt with feelings by the school as well but remember that you are only with those horrible things for a few hours and that you have a loving family waiting for you at your home. I’ve seen at least 3 different counsellors because of the situation. You see your not the only one with these problems, WE ALL HAVE THEM NOT JUST YOU!!

Lets talk about marks and schoolwork. Many of you who are reading this might be teenagers that are to lazy to study and I’ll be honest I was also one of them until recently when I learned that I am not doing this for my parents but I’m doing it for my future, MY FUTURE!! The Bible says and I quote “ Go to the ant, you sluggard, consider its ways and be wise” (Proverbs 6:6). You see? Even the Bible says that you should work so if you don’t and you’re lazy then you are actually doing a sin!!!!

So all of your questions have been answered!!! 1. The reason that you have to write exams is to have the ability to study, and to memorise all your work!! 2. The reason that you have to study is because that helps you to remember things until your not able to remember!!! 3. The reason for you to have these subjects is because you are still a child!! Most of you still don’t know what you want to become when you are older, this helps you to find your interest and to find out what subjects you enjoy!!

And finally 4. By this time you should already know the answer!! Haha but I’ll tell it to you anyway because God has a purpose for you and you have to build your future in school and who knows maybe you can change someone’s life by just telling him about this website.
