Reading Rosie’s and Haley’s blogs, ive sorta been sprung into the facts of school, and the facts of what people do to people and what they do to themselves. I see whats happening with kids of this age. Raised on TV, where people make fun of people and the person, at least on TV, doesnt react at all. And if the person does react, on tv and in life, the person trying to have a little fun hurts the other person to tears. Or farther. And the teaser just laughs.
What they see is that doing this to people A)makes the person feel inferior and B)makes the teaser feel better about themselves. All they want is to feel better about themselves, not caring what they do. They also have the potencial to be the person they are teasing(usually the introverted ones or A students), but dont because they would turn into the person they are making fun of. And if they became one of them they would be teased. so they become failing students and pretend to not care. Part of it is no support at home, but the rest is trying to be “cool.” So failing is cool? Working at fast food restaurants or minimum wage jobs cool? Do they just not realize that failure now means no nice cars later?
Ok, so parents are supporting them, why dont they do it for themselves? do they want to become what their parents are? do they see where their going? Or do they just want to be cool now and suffer later? Does anyone see why?
