Started Red Pill as a 15 year old virgin who watched porn and played video games to compensate for having no life. I now sit here entering my last 3 months of school with a couple more scars to show the world (literally), a formative period I will look back on and smile, and a one way ticket to success.

Over these past years I have earned just over 100k from online enterprising. Youtube channels, Instagram pages, Video game development etc. The main thing I learnt was that you can't do everything yourself and you need a team. This taste of success has now given me the burning desire to break free from the 'system'. I don't give a fuck about school; I can teach myself everything I need through the power of the internet and books. I don't care about an overpriced University either. Once again the only thing I'd be missing out on is the parties, hook-ups and drugs; all of which I can do later if I really want to. Essentially I want to forge my own path and be responsible for my life. I understand the risks and sometimes loneliness and isolation that comes with taking this route, but I'm willing to brave the Storm.

The problem is, almost every single adult without fail has told me to focus on school or you won't end up being qualified enough and you'll burn and crash quickly. A careers counsellor that I talked to said I should drop everything I'm doing to focus on these last months of my schooling get the best ATAR possible (GPA) and he'll get me into a course that 'will set me up for life'. My parents admittedly are understanding of my perspective, yet try their hardest to instil into me that without school and a form of certified education you will get nowhere, there will always be social stigma, and you'll end up working at maccas no matter how good everything is looking and no matter how dedicated you are. I understand these risks, but everyone I talk to, with the exception of some of my close mates, say you shouldn't do it then rattle off a million reasons why.

I feel like the fucking world is shit testing me. I'd rather be dead than be working a dead end fucking job and making money for the people at the top. My drive to succeed is fear of failure but I keep getting knocked back in a period of my life where I need to be certain and have a clear direction. School and Uni and making the waters really murky for me and I don't like compromise, it's either one thing or the other. I really need a red pilled perspective on how I should handle my future. I am going to succeed no matter what it takes, but right now people keep filling my head with their own versions of success whilst listing all the perils of straying from the path of wider society. My head hurts I'm going to gym
