Jaden Smith Gets Dramatic After Failing His Driving Test

Jaden Smith took to Instagram Live to declare his plans to leave Los Angeles, after failing his driving test. Smith started the live stream with “It’s going to be so funny to tell my dad that I failed straight up.” And then…he did…this:

“Everybody follow your heart, you know what I’m saying? Do exactly what you want to do, be the you that you want to be. I’m about to move out of L.A. There’s a lot of bad things here. Create the life you want for yourself, you know? Don’t try to be somebody else. It’s hard these days to really create the life you want for yourself because there’s nobody really here that’s really, like, supporting the youth or the youth’s creativity…and how they wanna live life.” Just typical things people who fail their driving tests say, ya know?

Then to finish off his live stream, in true Jaden Smith fashion, things get deep. Like, really deep:
“Why aren’t we Instagram live-ing about saving people’s lives? You know? Sitting here on Instagram, sitting here being distracted by everything,” he said. “And we’re not even focusing on our own lives. We Instagram live to escape. We go on people’s Instagram lives to escape so we don’t have to focus, to really think about the fact that nobody wants to support our creative endeavors and nobody wants to help us be creative. Nobody wants to give us the support system to make something that’s actually better for the world.”

After I fail my next driving test (for what will be the fourth time), I’ll be sure to channel my inner Jaden Smith, and start pursuing a career in motivational speaking…over Instagram.
