Yeah, there are some things missing from that list, like the homework and bullying. No thanks.

And the endless testing that sometimes, especially if it's not gone well, feels like your whole future life depends on it. No thanks, I hated that, with work I can just quit if it becomes overwhelming and all-encompassing like that.

Also, the dumb arbitrary rules like that kid in TX that got kicked out because of his hair style, which from the pictures I've seen, is freaking awesome (or fire? or whatever the kids are saying these days).

And not having money. If I feel sad now I can go for a drive or ride to clear my mind. Also I have the presence of mind and maturity to introspect what is going on and how best to address it.

Also if I feel really sad I can always buy another motorbike.
