Many girls in my year are getting pregnant, so they get a house and free money. A lot of people left school and are sitting at home living on benefits, while I'm slogging it out in school trying to make something of myself. Both my parents work full time, so I understand your passion about this issue.
The only benefit I whole heartedly agree with is disability benefit, and illness support. And only if the person is seriously ill, not has a little bruise on their ankle for 3 years that causes them 'the inability to work.'
What I'm trying to say is - I agree. However there are countries that are in 1000 times worse situations than ours and we should be grateful for what we do have that is positive.
EDIT - Just to let you know, I study sociology so I know a lot about the education system so I'm not just a random teenager pretending to have opinions.

i think it will become your choice then.. do you want to be the one who left school with nothing but still get some money from the government... and marked with that status for your whole life or you want to work and study harder to become what you wish to be and the society will also respect you..... it's just a matter of choice... it's your own life so don't look at others'... there is nothing perfect in this world... of course it doesn't feel good for you to work very hard and you still have to pay the tax that will be given to the people who do nothing... but just like what i said... it's your own choice
