I feel that as I move through High School, the volume of politically based essays and assignments increases significantly. Seen as I live in a deeply liberal state, my classmates and teachers share the same radical ideology, and I am forced to conform unless I want to be ostracized. It has gotten to a point in an online school that a majority of students identify as socialist or even communist, with everything being tied to race and prejudice. Each time I write, it has to be the most liberal of rhetoric that I do not agree with, and I am getting tired of putting on this facet. I know this will only get worse as time progresses, with virtually nothing I can do to help it. Any ideas or individuals with similar experiences?

Strategize. Consider yourself lucky that you woke up in time to plan a future as opposed to simply being swept along with it. You'll likely want skills in a field that is more on the challenging side and where politics is not the main thing. Also. you will want to be in demand so that if you must relocate, you'll have a skill set to take with you. Just a couple of thoughts. High school should be challenging and fun. Too bad they are making it political.
