Cold Case Flashback - Stand Up & Holler, Classroom Social Suicide
after reminicing about high school last night and watching this right now, i’m thinking about social structure when i was in high school.
i’m not sure if it was because of the specific demographic of my high school, but the “cool”/”popular” kids at my school were also the ones in the ap classes. they might be cracking jokes and looking uninterested sometimes, but they definitely weren’t flunking out because they thought it was the cool thing to do.
in shows like this, the popular crowd always has the money. in my experience, those are the same kids who are expected to go to college, a good college. they’re the same ones sitting in honor society meetings and taking the sats 4 times.
from what i remember, it was a big deal to do poorly, and by big deal i don’t mean it was cool. i’m not sure if this was only my experience or not. is it because of the strange mix i had at my school (everything from the trailer park to the ritzy neighborhoods, plus a healthy dose of artists actors and musicians). or does it have to do with my generation—the push for a college education regardless of whether you’re interested or not.
does anyone else have any other perspectives on this?
special talent.
convincing people to break up with their shitty sigificant others. i’m not kidding. ask katie/rose. i’m not proud of it, i feel kind of bad about it but actually not really. don’t ask me what you should do in a relationship that you feel uncomfortable in because 1) that person cheated on you and now you can’t trust them 2) you’re in an “open relationship” and it’s not working for you 3) that person is controlling/psycho/posessive 4) you’ve been dating them for a long time and a)you don’t know why you’re with them anymore b) you dont know how to break up with them
okay i’m about to transition into a rant on that note.
ladies, we need to stop using our feminine charm to make boys stay with us when its obviously not working out. i mean its true, sometimes we have to bat our eyelashes and flash a flirty smile to get things done. but some of us don’t understand that our God given manipulation skills need only to be used for a worthy cause…i mean some girls get pregnant to keep a man (although sex won’t make him love you, baby won’t make him stay) but thats an extreme example, all too chicks try to use seduction, guilt, tears, or some other pathetic technique to keep a man by their side who would otherwise be better off alone. gurlfrans.. stop it..you look dumb, and you make all of the women in your man’s life hate you. and guys, stop falling for it.
AMEN. it’s not that serious to be single. most of the people i know in relationships should probably take some time to figure themSELVES out before figuring out how to make who they think they are work with someone they think they want to be with.
“guys stop falling for it.”»on that note, i love hearing guys rant about wanting a chill girl who isn’t dramatic, but fall for this every time.
we could have our own tough love.
