So I got in an argument with one of my friends today, after which she called me a jackass, but that's not the point...

The point is what we were arguing about. See, we were talking about how I don't ever study or do homework and seldom go to class. Now her argument was that it's just 'cause I'm lazy. I disagree and here's why.

See, the way I see it, a lot of it is my past teachers and classes fault for the reason I am the way I am with schoolwork. If I hadn't been able to get A's and B's without studying or doing homework for years and years and years, I wouldn't be conditioned to it. Even now in college, I've literally had to try about never to do well in classes.

It has nothing to do with lazyness. Obviously a person is not going to study if they've never needed to and always gotten A's. Eventually if it changes where there's a class that they do need to study for, it'll be a shock to them, and either they'll change, or they might continue to not study until several more shocks break them out of their conditioning.

This is basic psychology stuff, and psychology isn't completely bullshit regardless of what you say.
