why do you see marriage as the only acceptable form of commitment? just curious. in my opinion it takes more commitment to stay without legal ties involved.

some people are just unable to go to college due to finances, physical/mental health, or other things like being a single parent. i was never able to go to college because i couldn’t mentally handle the stress due to serious trauma of various kinds that i was just coming out of. i couldn’t find a job to adequately support me and i had health issues and undiagnosed learning disabilities preventing me from having the energy or time to focus even on part time studies. i had no family, so no safety net. i tried taking college thru a work program but the college ended up being unaccredited.

and keep in mind some people have several/all of these things to deal with.

so to say that seeing someone went thru college shows they can stick to something, it’s negating all the hidden struggles that the rest of us work every day to get thru. I’m on year 7 of my current job, so i can clearly commit. but saying that college is the measuring stick is kinda disrespectful for those who had a different path.

that’s still such an ableist take. (as someone in the usa)

dude. that super sucks. i had just graduated high school fortunately, but i was on bed rest for 7 months, i didn’t have a choice. i was unable to walk. didn’t help that i had pneumonia and bronchitis at the same time. lol

as someone who had it… no. lol

IDK, i was obsessed with that song as a teenager and learned to enunciate the whole song without knowing what it said. but, i have 99 Luftballons on my personal playlist so maybe i just like catchy foreign songs lol
