As a depressed lonely engineering student is college, I agree with you.

In school socializing was something that got punished. If you talked in class, you got disciplined. I never really talked. I have good grades and all, but I'm stuck doing science the rest of my life.

I should have majored in art so I could have been an awesome hipster. I'm probably going to end up like Wally from Dilbert.

Shut up, Chris-Chan.

this thread is a joke

Most likely because the professors would have to be extremely badass charismatic people who enjoy teaching others their life experience skills that they probably don't want to share because they're too badass and don't want copycat badasses.

this is a nice butthurt thread

It's true.

>>511674
You may say that kids have time to socialize in schools during breaks between classes, but what to do about those who fail to socialize and are failures at social life even after graduating high school? Would you agree with me?

I would have to agree with you. These days, socialization involves being into mainstream culture, fitting into the peer culture via tv shows, popular fashion and such. You have to think about the people bullied at school, they refuse to fit in because they have little interest in the mainstream peer culture.

In school you were meant to talking during breaks or recess or during lunch.

>>512879
If you can't figure out how to talk to other people, no amount of schooling in the world is going to fix that.

>>513415
exactly.
As much as I can understand OP (our education system is FUBAR) this is not something for regular classes, but primarily the parent's job.
AFAIK most of learning is done before school age anyway (unless you send your children to school at age 3 nowadays)

I see the need though. I propose a coaching system.

>>513695
>but primarily the parent's job.

What if the parent is too busy? There are some parents who have to work two jobs. (read: single parents)

>>514952
Then they should have thought about their ability to provide before having kids.

>These days, socialization involves being into mainstream culture, fitting into the peer culture via tv shows, popular fashion and such. You have to think about the people bullied at school, they refuse to fit in because they have little interest in the mainstream peer culture.

>You have to think about the people bullied at school, they refuse to fit in because they have little interest in the mainstream peer culture.

Wow, you are just.. you're an idiot, aren't you? I'm sorry, that was mean. You're uneducated and ignorant.

>Why is that our education doesn't teach people one of the most important things in human life - the skill of being social?!

Because 99% of people pick this skill up by simply talking with their classmates. Teaching them how to do something they naturally do is pointless. It's like teaching them how to speak their mother tongue or how to walk properly.

The social environment of high school does not train you to be a functioning member of the workplace. You're far better adapted to prison than to actually getting work done. Put a 30-something successful middle management person in a teenager's body and put him in high school and he would be eaten alive unless he can undo years of adulthood mentally.

Not that being a good worker is something you should live for.

Maturity gets you very far, wherever you are. All those kids that flew under the radar without getting picked on nor needing to conform to what popular kids were doing? Expect a normal, mature person to be there in that hypothetical situation.

Herp derp, because you don't need to be 'taught' social skills. Being social is something you decide to do or not to do, given that you're a sane human being of course. You'll adapt.

>>515039
There is no face palm jpeg large enough to express my dissatisfaction with your grossly inaccurate generalization.

>>515048

Well fuck you too then.

>>515022
holy shit this!

I think you guys are overlooking ludicrously, openly superficial kids are and how they can discriminate long before you open up your mouth.

>>515048
Shut up, idiot.

>>515039
Correct. No one says you have to be so awesome/interesting that you may as well be on a dos equis beer commercial.

Crashing and burning is being social just as making great conversation and making friends is.

If you want to succeed in this area, you'd learn how.

>>515022
You would be shunned and bullied vigorously because you aren't intimately knowledgeable of whatever the fuck kids are into now. Your educated, mature vocabulary would give you away unless you're a fantastic actor. You'll be diagnosed as 'gifted' and that has all sorts of negative social implications. If you test out and get into college years early as a prodigy, acing the introductory course, you'll be shunned even harder.
It'll only stop being a living hell when you get to around 23 or so, where age differences are less prominent. By then you'll already be a broken, mentally ill, shell of a man.

>>512824
>You have to think about the people bullied at school, they refuse to fit in because they have little interest in the mainstream peer culture.

Inaccurate interpretation of data.

In this confined and volatile social arena that is high school, attention will cost you. You either 1.) don't attract attention and float by (majority) or 2.) attract attention and pay to become popular, or pay to become a loser/get bullied (minority).

Telling jokes, being personable, being clever, and witty are all ways one can fit in without watching, jesus christ, MTV, wearing UGGs/wayfarers/vans whatever the fuck you were implying.

People get bullied because they attact attention for apparently being weak or easy targets. It's then that individual's job to allow themselves to get picked on or to adapt and overcome socially.

The fact that they refuse to do the latter shows that they simply do not have the skills to overcome, or choose not to be social.

Should they choose not to be social, what the fuck is a class going to solve? They're just going to fail the curriculum.

Just because all you faggots were ever good at was school does not make turning everything you suck at into a mandatory curriculum a good idea.

>>515164
Yes, his maturity that allows him to now go up and talk to the girl he's had a crush on will make him total bully bait.

"mature" or not, if you end up accidentally slip up with big scary words like "establish" or "communicate", the kind of stupid teeny bopper miley cyrus fangirl bitch that your pedophile ass wants to fuck would go EUWWW GROSS and be repulsed.

>EWWWW Look at that fag, he's talking to a girl! He's holding hands with her! Ewwww he has cooties! TEEHEET
I know you're trying to be ha-ha funny but that's actually how it is below the age of 12. I had more girl friends than guy friends and I got over 9000 different kinds of shit for being a cootie monster.
Here's an idea for a social experiment. Find a hugely popular forum that is marketed toward and is largely populated by 15 year olds or younger. Try to fit in. See how long you pass as one of them.

>>515220
You forgot "be attractive" or "dress the right way". That second thing can be really complicated depending on what youth clique you've already been pigeonholed into, what clique the person you're after has been pigeonholed into, how much your parents can afford, your reputation, etc.

I've seen this advice taken the completely opposite way. Many people think this allows them to become loud, obnoxious, dress like shit, act like shit, etc.

It's actually pretty shitty advice.

You have to learn how to discern who to give a shit about: your best friends, your family, whoever. To do this you need a strong foundation of character so that you can also determine the character in others.

Basically, if you want to be a great person, BE A GREAT PERSON.

>>515274

Well, seeing as how many of the S&D kids were both politically minded and overachievers (read: played sports, knew lots of people), people rarely gave them shit. Not to their face, anyway. Plus, it takes a lot of confidence to do public speaking. Confidence is one thing bullies fucking hate.

Looks like you're a cynical faggot who's been watching too much Degrassi or whatever teen drama is going on now.

Fucking 4chan, man... seriously.

my elementary school had a program to try to teach awkward kids how to make friends. they put me in it but it didnt really work. mostly because they busted out a bunch of games and we were supposed to learn about taking turns and communicating rules to each other, but i immediately snagged a one player game and wandered off

>>515427

The fuck. I went to a regular public school in California too. At mine you were considered a bit slow by your peers if you weren't at least a year ahead in math. No violence problems, no gang problems, very rarely heard of anyone fighting. In fact, I'd say people were, on average, more mature than those I saw at college.

I lived in the suburbs and knew a lot of the kids from going to elementary and junior high with them. I don't remember how many were in my graduating class, I want to say close to 1000.

Ha ha. Stupid white bitch. Toodles.

Actually, "Hello" is a bit formal for a generic social situation. It implies that you're adopting a guarded posture and makes you seem stiff. Everything you say after that will be tainted with the suspicion of being scripted.

The school I went to was pretty damn normal.

The top-tier kids went to schools like Berkeley, UCLA, Harvard.

Upper-Mid-tier went to local UC's and CSU's.

Mid to Lower mid-tier went to the local junior college and either stayed there, dropped out, got preggers, joined the military, transferred to become Upper-mid-tiers, etc.

Low tier must be on their 5th or 6th kid by now.

so OP what you're saying is people should start teaching socialization? But that's like saying teaching how to breathe. Its already embedded in the human brain and needs not to be taught since its part of human nature. Plus before going to school, socializing has long started with your family.

>>515558

I'm flattered, someone took the time to find it.

A secure trip ##, uses a site-specific salt value to the hash. That means it'll only work that way on one site. The only security it provides is that no one can run a program to rainbow table the tripcodes w/o knowing that server-side salt.
