What sucks is there's no way to convince a high school kid, that high school doesn't matter. Later in life, those big dipshit bullies, will likely amount to nothing.

That's the problem with high school kids in general. Outside of grades, nothing going on there really matters and will all seem completely silly and trivial in a few years, but at the time high school BS is their whole world. They have zero perspective and there's no way to change that because perspective is earned, you can't just give it to someone. The same can be said for kids who get really into drugs or other dangerous and potentially life-ruining criminal behavior in high school in order to be cool or notorious or to impress friends or get girls. I know people who were ruined forever because they wanted to be a high school bad a**. Now it seems so incredibly pointless and stupid.
