All right, you.
Time to focus.
Get down to business.
It's game time, and you're dropping the ball.
Just like always.
But this time it's almost important!
So focus.
Stop distracting yourself.
Put away the cell phone
And the facebook.
Hide The Onion
And block out what you don't need.
Pay attention.
You need to pay attention so you can succeed.
Be like the other kids
And actually try.
Put your nose in that book

Oh but wait.
He needs help!
I have to help him
And make him feel better!
It's self-sacrificing!
It's okay!

No.
FOCUS.
You need to go and do this.
Take care of this first.
He's important too
But first things first.
I'll talk to you about him later young lady.
Right now you need to stop with the typing
And learn.
For once, don't be pathetic.
Don't just let stuff fall into your lap.
Ever heard of making an effort?
If you fail, you will be
A disappointment to us all.
This is the only thing you're good at
We both know it.
So are you going to tell me
That the one thing you can do,
You won't?
Pathetic.
Sad.
You are a sorry excuse for a student.

But I always do fine!
I don't need it!
Trust me.
When's the last time I suffered from my lack of effort?
Oh, that?
That's one class.
One grade.
Ok, two.
It doesn't matter in the long run!

Doesn't matter?
Is that why you are making your parents
Those who birthed and raised you
Pay thirteen thousand bucks a year for it?
Because it doesn't matter?
You are a waste of money.
They should've had a child
Who appreciated the things
They worked so hard to give.
Doesn't matter my ***.
Just go.
I'm done with you.
You disgust me.
