You're 14. In the next ten or so years you'll likely learn that there is a lot of grey area between two absolutes (aka false dichotomies).Everyone here thinks I'm biased, egotistical and what not. Cuz "you, you've asked for advice and now you're criticizing all of us cuz the answer that we've all given is the unsexy one. You're an egotistical, a**hole, dumb little kiddo.".
From what you've described, you only see two options: a) drop out and start a business, or b) stay in school and condemn yourself forever to a slowlane life.
In the same vein, you might feel as though you are better than your teachers because now you "know the truth" and therefore they aren't worth listening to. This is another false dichotomy: a) that one person can guide you absolutely (e.g. "this person will know if I should drop out or not") or b) no one is worth learning anything from.
You'll also learn to see the difference between absolute criticism and productive advice - most responses in this thread are the latter.
I think you've been offered a powerful learning experience in this thread. Despite your negative attitude, you've continued to receive a lot of advice from quite a few seasoned veterans of business (including MJ himself), instead of being ignored, your thread deleted, or just being (exclusively) laughed at. As @Odysseus M Jones said, you're "churning out shit, but with balls". I think the "with balls" part is why so many people have replied - you have a lot of potential and drive, but you're pointing that towards your own foot right now.
Remember and revisit this thread over the years. I guarantee you'll view it much differently over time. Good luck.
