You mistaken bitterness for reality. I'm just saying being bored with school and not getting any from an ex-girlfriend is not a reason to run away off into the sunset.

A person makes the choice to own a car, get married, have kids, buy a house or anything that comes with responsibility. The difficulties that come along with those choices do NOT in anyway diminish the difficulties a person, who has yet to choose or chose otherwise, may have.
No but it just shows you how much you've got to look forward to. These issues that I quoted are what we all experience as adults. These aren't exceptions, these are the rules. You'll learn one day that older people speak from experience and not just to be heard.

I love the insinuation that to be an adult you have to live a predefined lifestyle. It's like being handed a multiple choice test and the administer tells you that you can choose anything but in the end the correct answer will always be "A".
This just shows you how much experience you have in life. There were no insinuations, these are hard cold facts. Trust me, you will experience some if not most of these situations before your life is over.

Sure, you can hug the guy and tell him that everything will be okay. But it probalby won't. If he hates school and cannot stand to be there, then he needs to quit. If his desire to become a zoologist is greater, then that desire will out weight his dislike for school.

Women come and go. He'll fall in love another dozen times and probably fall into lust even more than that. He said it himself, she doesn't want anything to do with him. So why should he continue to dwell on someone that is just going to break his heart, if not his will.

I'm done typing now, I've to go take my medicine and take a nap.
