FAO UNDERACHIEVERS.

[Fearless-Guy]

When your told you're intelligent/smarter than most kids from a young age, then sometimes you get scared to fail because you hold yourself to high standards and so you don't even try because the fear of failure is too much.Not even trying to sound like a big headed c*nt but that's just the way it is. Thing's will never be the same.

THIS.

starting to smoke weed is where i f*cked up, missed the last 2 years of school because i was blazing all day, dropped out of my apprenticeship for the same reason. 9 years later im still doing the same sh*t.i know its wrong but i have made weed the most important thing in my life, ive tried to stop a few times but just end up having panik attacks so i start smoking it again after a day or two.

That bad bruh? Weed just f*cks everything up. A whole 2 years will slide right by you and you wont even know. Remember when I was koppin a benz and it would last me a week (1 zoot a day), then all of a sudden it went down to a couple days then just a day or 2. Man used to smoke in the morning to go back to sleep or if anything got to me. Cut down majorly when I clocked I'd rather buy a score than use it for more constructive things like FOOD SHOPPING, TRAVEL etc. Nowadays half a Z will knock me out, havent bought weed for a year if I'm correct, just a few tokes here and there from buddies.On some junkie ting

I messed up GCSE's, i will be the first to admit i was cheeky and have never liked being told what to do. Apparently i should of been 'as smart as my brother and he was was much better than me', being told that by teachers wound me up to the point i though f*ck them i dont care about school. Then my brother got ill when i was in year 10 and so i was basically living by myself whilst my parents were in hospital with him, i didnt get work done i just went out with my mates all the time to take my mind of the situation. My school offered no help and even said things like im using my brothers illness as an excuse and i need to get over it. I ended up with a few GCSE's but nothing like the a's and b's i should of got.My brother died just a few months before i started college but i used everything as motivation and completed that year, my mum then fell ill in my 2nd year and that threw me off but i still completed. I dont feel i have underachieved but not done as well as i could have. All i can do is make up for that now.

[The Somalian]

sorry to hear about your loss

[UN.Muzik]

That's a tragic storyAtleast you know now you can make up for the lost time The way I see it is most of us are too young to have underacheived in life, maybe underacheived academically but academics should not be the barometer to whether you're a success or failure

[Jodie]

The only time i feel i underachieved was during college. I messed up completely in college.I took advantage of the fact that teachers couldnt realy tell me what to do. Ended up getting sh*t grades that couldn't get me onto a degree.But in a way, im glad i didnt do the degree cos i would of been stuck doing a course for 3 years that i would of lost passion about (Fashion design).I've felt ive picked myself up since then by getting work and sticking in with it for 3 years. Now im in an even better job where I think i'll be for quite some time and moving up and on.

[Flex]

Nah im not talking about on some snob ting like oh that breh aint doing much don't par with himI mean people if you carry on running road with them you just get in trouble with the law etcfor instance first year I went college I me and one next breh were the youngest everyone else was 17 to 23. so allot of man in that class are on the rotation flex where they drop out of college every yearand just sign up for a next course the next year. Any how bucked up with one hackney breh therehe was older than me. Man was on linking chicks 24/7 we would just jam on road linking girls went baker street, Walthamstow, archway, Enfield, Stamford hill just linking chicks and various other stuff. when your 16-17 your parents kind of loosen your strings so you need to make cash my mum kept telling me to get part time work (remember no ema them days). So now us man are there with no money and no job ended up robbing heads for phones chains all that stuff. use to go to one pawn shop down Finsbury made some money. was not allot really. Next ting I am blazing more and more with these man dem so funds r low.We got introduced to one shotta from Tottenham/Edmonton from my boy who was starting to make some nice pea shottin for these guys. I sold my dreamcast and brought 2 ounces and then started getting involved in that stuff and foolishness boy coming to my yard ten in the morning bagging up and then just linking people all over shottin buying a shottin line given that to people asking them if they blaze then passing on our contacts, getting to meet office workers in pubs and they would order allot of weed and then allot of them started asking for cocaine (which I never sold) I could of slipped then and gone that path but I thought that is long my dad was in jail for shottin that stuff at that time so I knew it wernt for me. Girls use to us on road and call us road rats coz that's what we were on.Now from that lil story I knew from day that I was getting involved in f*ckrysNow if I am to look back all that stupidness cost me two years of education and I aint benefiting from that sh*t now where as a qualification would of went a long way.There were next heads in our class who were safe but stayed focus and never parred with us to tuffI should of been building foundations with them man tbh.I aint saying I should not of being there friend but I am saying them man got me blindsided from my actual goal and i allowed myself to be blindsided

cool i hear that

You shouldnt pick ur friends depending how successful they are as it does not have any real bearing on you. Meaning because they are successful and are friends with you, does not make u successful.Same way on the other end just because certain friends smoke take drugs does not mean they are waste or u should avoid them. If you find yourself being influenced by people to do something you don't want do, you are the waste, not them.You should have your own goals and aims and know what you are doing regardless of those around you, and you are solely responsible for hitting them milestones.I would rather have my one friend that i known from primary school, who's grown up to do nothing than work in william hill and smoke weed all day who i know would take a fall for me rather than having someone who is viewed as being succesful hoping it will make me a better person.

this is bullshit tbh and you should learn from now that who your closest friends are dictates what you are or going to become.

not really bullshit. It's not difficult to have the social skills to have more than one social circle, or have the ability to be able to affilliate with your career in mind too.This may have an effect on ur career path. But to think that you will get far in life based on ur closest friends is pretty naive. I'm not saying it wont help, but ur statement was definitive.Base ur closest friends around ur career, u'll b getting friends that are thinking like mindedly, when u fall off n ur no use to them, they wont b there to help u.

[E.A.S.E]

i underachieved in school i wasn't interested in any topics but art PE and H.E i skived school alot and when i was 15, i did my standard grades (GCSES)didn't fail any which suprised alot of teachers as i was hardly ever in class, (so there i regret to a certain extent not sticking in and could have got better grades had i actually tried! I then asked if i could go to college, was agreed between my school and college was youngest in my class, farted about for the first few months then put my head down and got into work passed with flying colours got my B.A award. I agree though theres always an element of regret in things of " i could have done better" now i try not to think too much about what i could have done better but try to do better over all.

I dont think venom is implying that you should seek out really intelligent/ambitious friends etc, but if u do end up with a circle of friends who spend all day smoking/drinking/not going uni/getting into fights/not doing coursework it will eventually impact you and you should cut them lose for the sake of your lifein my group of friends we had a girl who was a big time SLUT, and one by one we had to cut her off
