A Rant for Today

Lately everything seems to be going out of whack. The gravitational pull of my life is giving up on me and letting me and my mind float off into realms I'd never thought of. Like firstly, the idea of dropping my Academic Honors diploma for a Core 40 so I don't have to worry about taking anything other than Government. Also, for the first time in my life, I've considered dropping out completely to get my GED. It's not like it would do any good, though. I have no idea what I want to do in college. This has made me not want to go, considering prices are too high, Obama is cutting the funds for Pell Grants, no college in Indiana has a Herpetology program (the closest one is in Texas) and I don't feel like going to school for another four years.

Also, I'm tired of my body always giving out on me. It wouldn't be that bad if my doctors knew what they were doing. "Oh, you're nauseous? Here's some nasal spray and antibiotics for a strep throat." WHAT?! I don't even know how they came to that conclusion. I told them I was dizzy, and they checked breathing. Did they bother to check anything else? No. I give up.

It also makes me really angry that Republicans are cutting over half the funds for Planned Parenthood for the deficit. Fact number 1 - People go there who cannot afford birth control. So what happens when they can't get the birth control? They get pregnant at a young age. This means the government will be paying to help out these single mothers. Fact number 2 - They helped with testings of STD's and other problems. There's going to be an STD outbreak. Oops. Plague of STDs. I bet the government would swear they didn't know it would happen. Fact number 3 - Planned Parenthood is about more than abortions(which is the main reason why they are cutting funds). They help women who don't have anywhere else to go.

Why can't the government take money from they're own pockets? Instead of from the people who need it.

You make some excellent points about your health and Planned Parenthood, but you make one very - sorry, but it is - stupid statement. You should not quit school. You are smart and will find a way to go to college. Keep applying for grants and scholarships. Or get a student loan. Most of those don't have to be paid for until you graduate.
