My grades in school are terrible, to put it lightly. They're hoping that military school will fix that. I can't say i don't understand where they're coming from, having a son who is borderline genius but has less than acceptable grades, i can understand.

well, if you fit the norm for borderline genius, your grades suck because you are bored.  How old are you? Can you convince them to let you try to jump a grade (or two) and maybe start college early?

I am sixteen and my reason for the low grades it that i am completely apathetic towards the subject. I really couldn't care less, i only go to school to see my friends anyway. I completely understand the importance and significance of getting a good education and how it can open all the opportunities in the world, but i just don't care.

Until recently, I called myself a nihilist. I thought there is no inherent meaning and no inherent value. I was right. There is no inherent meaning and no inherent value in nature. But so what? I am human and humans create their own meaning and their own value. One of the most important values for me is success versus failure or victory versus defeat. It is good to succeed. It is bad to fail. I don't think many humans will disagree.

When I was sixteen, I couldn't wait to leave home. I hated my situation. The popular kids at school made my life hell. The thing that got me through it was the certainty that some day I would destroy them. I did. They failed in life. I succeeded in life.

I don't know if you're borderline genius or not. My IQ test says I'm borderline genius and I think it's bullshit. I'm no Einstein.

Succeed. Not necessarily academically. Succeed somehow. Success requires action. You are the only person who can be responsible for your success. Your parents can send you to military school but in the end if it works you'll be the one responsible.

Also, it seems that most military schools won't accept your admission if you personally refuse to go. Military schools seem dumb to me. They aren't even run by the military. It's a bunch of adolescents wearing stupid custumes being forced to say "yes sir" to someone with no authority whatsoever.

That would be lame. Please take responsibility for your life before this happens =).

Just curious, what counts as "borderline genius"?

I wouldn't place too much stock in standard IQ tests...

"Genius or near genius" is an IQ of over 140 or 150 depending on what you read. I got 144 last time I took one. I don't take it seriously. I know I'm smart but I think we should reserve the word genius for, well, geniuses =).

I wish I went to a military school. Push-ups, range time, drill and ceremony. Man I miss that. Why not make the best of it and enjoy the quasi-military life. You might make some friends and become a real badass at the same time. If not, we'll....nothing makes memories like being called a fag while you do push-ups in the mud for hours on end. Then when you collapse you get an earful of how worthless you are at life. Eventually you want to prove that asshole wrong. Then you become ARMY STRONG!!! :P

Best of luck guy.

Ouch. At least the boarding school i went to had girls as well. I'm thankful for that.
