Yeah, in 8th grade (once they stopped MAKING us do it) I stopped on my own want. A lot of people in my school did. Only the teacher was doing it in some classes.

Awsome flag btw BB, where'd you get it?

I don't think they FORCE us to do it at my school, but EVERYONE else does and if I was the only kid not doing it I'd come off as a real ass hole.

 

[fauker]

What? The other kids make you do it?? That sucks...

And Endruu... you only let them make you do what you let them. Be yourself despite everyone else being against you.

No, it's just that if I didn't say it, I'd be the only kid in the class not saying it. What I mean is, I'd come off like an ass. Especially with the kids at the school I went to last year. I'm going into the high school this year (HS starts at 10th grade here) so I think it'll be alot more acceptable at this school if I don't.

 

[fauker]

Well that's good, there's bound to be some kids who the feel the same as you at this new place.

 

[TheEndruu]

They're both public schools. But there are 2 junior highs (6-9th grade). The one I go to is like 99% conservative (no offense to conservative people, I'm just saying they're alot different then I am) and not very open minded, where as the other junior high is more like me. The high school will be the people from those two schools mixed, if you know what I mean. I really want to meet new people lol

Welcome to my world. I dont care if I come off as an ass, people will think whatever they want to think regardless of what you do or dont do. Just the way the high school mentality seems to be. I advise you to take a stand for what _you_ believe in, and not give into mob mentality.

Words of Wisdom from the great beerbaron!

but seriously, like bb says, it's important to be yourself, don't waste your life trying to please others.

 

[TheEndruu]

I asked my older pals and they don't even do it at the high school, I'm relieved lol

Dont get me wrong El Diablo, it can be important to please others, but not when it's achieved by means of doing something you dont quite dig on. You shouldnt haev to go against your own grain just to keep them happy.
