Thirty percent, that's
The number of high schoolers
Who are depressive
Not to mention those
With eating disorders, who
Are too pushed aside
With anxiety,
Where teens are told to "calm down",
It doesn't look good
Add some drugs in there
Underage drinking, smoking
Pills and shooting up
Add it all up, and
At least half of the school is
Batshit insane now
I'm starting to think
That we might need to rethink
How we treat students
Because when most of
A group has mental problems
When most students would
Rather cut themselves
Rather get high or wasted
Rather starve themselves
Rather hide their fear
Rather sneak out and run off
Rather **** themselves
Than go to a school
Than maybe the school is part
of the bigger cause
When a system makes
Most of its users insane
Its shut down like that
But when schools do it
We don't bat an eye, and we
Don't even change it
But maybe its time
That we fix the cause of this
And change our high schools
