Trust me, now you go to school, learn things, talk with your friends and then, you got out and you have the rest of the day to play or in the worst case, do some homework.
Now imagine you are 16-18-20. Here in Spain, when you are 16 years old, you can work, and if you aren't from a mid-rich/rich family, you will work, at least, in summer time, or in the worst case, on weekends to pay you your caprices (sp).
Then you will become 18 (when you are "adult"), and in my case, I work and studi at the same time (work from 9 to 14 am, study from 16 to 22 pm).
Then, again, you will grow and you'll have to work all the day, gain more responsabilities and probably, have to do work at home because you have a deadline to follow and not so many time free outside work.
Imagine it and reask why some people remembers when he/she haves 15 and says "oh, I love to study".
Sorry for this spaming post but I need to say it
