First week in a public High School, and it was a short week. But I learned some interesting things, mostly to do with teenage behavior. My Psychology degree is actually proving useful for once. I still think it is a pack dog mentality that rules the cliques.

The text books are all vastly out of date and many of the history lessons are lacking in context and heavily censored. I got into an argument with my history teacher on Wednesday over the lack of criticism of the side-effects of westward expansion.

And the science...the "science" they teach is a crime.

On a positive note, I made several friends, and Beth has shown me around.

I also am learning what words such as 'shiznet' mean.

	What does "shiznet" mean? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	its_my_nature 2012-11-24 02:16 am UTC (link)
	It means 'good.' As in 'that movie was the shiznet.' (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's a public fucking school system. WTF did you expect. And, hey, you'll probably find out sooner rather than later, that friends isn't what you think it is, considering who you're hanging out with. Enjoy the ass kissing you're going to have to do. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I expected something decent. Or am I mistaken that education is not a stated goal of a civilized society? I do not understand what you mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noble_war 2012-11-24 02:35 am UTC (link)
	Society isn't civilized. It chews you up and spits you out, and expects you to sit there with a smile on your face and be nice to the assholes who did it to you. Where have you been? Living in a cave or some shit? Heh. You will. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	its_my_nature 2012-11-24 02:39 am UTC (link)
	Not a cave, a lab. I do biological sciences. You seem to think you know everything about people. I assure you you do not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noble_war 2012-11-24 02:43 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. So you're Frankenstein with tits. Go you. You seem to think that people have sunshine and double rainbows crammed up their asses. I assure you, they do not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You know nothing of me, or of the dark side of human nature. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And you don't know me either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	its_my_nature 2012-11-24 02:53 am UTC (link)
	It would not be hard for me to. But that would be lowering myself to another level I am not comfortable with. What do you have against Beth? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noble_war 2012-11-24 02:56 am UTC (link)
	Why? You one of those girls who thinks they're psychic? Yeah, right. Dime a fucking dozen. Try doing something that she doesn't like or approve of, and I'm sure you'll find that out on your own. You'd be yesterday's news. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Redhead on the cheerleading squad. She's almost yesterday's news. Unless Beth's feeling benevolent, just watch and see. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hey, if you're psychic, it should be easy to find out what people are really like. Right? You mentioned pack dogs, up there, in the OP. Guess what? You're running with an alpha female and her pack. You do the math. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private its_my_nature 2012-11-24 03:17 am UTC (link)
	If I am psychic, it would be rude to intrude on one's thoughts against their will. But nothing I have seen tells me she's a bad person. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private noble_war 2012-11-24 03:21 am UTC (link)
	Your call. Either way, you'll find out what a person's really like, sooner or later. Everyone's a little bad inside. If anyone says they aren't, then they're lying to you and themselves. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private its_my_nature 2012-11-24 03:22 am UTC (link)
	I am aware... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private noble_war 2012-11-24 03:25 am UTC (link)
	Then consider it a pro tip like a game cheat, from someone who doesn't belong to any of the pack dogs. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Are you sure you want to start down this path, Langdon? One chance. I'm giving it to you now so that you can't say I didn't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noble_war 2012-11-24 06:00 am UTC (link)
	Nice way to show your usual ultimatums in public, right in front of your...heh...new friend. Hell. Can't say I care. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Langdon above_all 2012-11-24 06:01 am UTC (link)
	Know you brought this upon yourself, Langdon. Know that you opened the door, were told not to, and went walking right through it. You should know that ignorance is bliss. It's a pity about Violet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh shit no, my high school life will be ruined WTF will I do?!?!!!1!

Get real. People like me? You don't have much to dangle over our heads, like you do with everyone else.

What's wrong? Trying to get into her panties or some shit? Am I ruining it for you?

I think you'll probably do a good enough job of that, as it is. You are fake as heeeeeeeeell and Frankenstein there is going to figure out how petty you are, anyway. Have fun with that, yo.

	What sort of tests. The science they teach even at a basic college level is rudimentary. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Genetic experiments. I worked for Armachen before they were revealed for who they were. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Locked] black_soil 2012-11-24 04:54 am UTC (link)
	I am familiar with their work, but had no direct hand in their projects or test studies. Gene manipulation, I'd imagine, adding and subtracting to DNA? You are still too young to have been directly involved yourself, unless you were a test subject. Oooo. That must be why you are so reticent to talk further or agree to being a test subject, presently. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Locked] its_my_nature 2012-11-24 04:59 am UTC (link)

	How interesting. If you would ever like employment as a lab assistant and are not squeamish, then contact me. When you are done with your sociology study of modern teenagers in the American school system. (Reply to this) (Parent)
