In my Video Production class (an easy class that is a far cry away from my normal AP classes, not to be snobby, but it is essential to the point of my story) I have quickly realized the relentless negativity of the students. They can't find the good in anything. The "good" is not something for which they even look. We had to do these biography things, and the teacher would look at them about each of us, and ask us in front of the class about something that we wrote in order to get us better acquainted. One girl went to Panama with her church. The girl behind me just says "What the fuck? Panama? What the fuck is in Panama? Who the fuck goes to Panama?" It wasn't said to anyone particular. I think people laughed when it was brought up that I am the president of the speech and debate team as well. I don't give a care about any of that, truthfully, but it is really bizarre to me. Everything is something that must be made fun of. The only exceptions are drugs, alcohol, whatever music that they like, the football team (a few of whom I speak are football players), and dirt bikes.
The parenthetical distinction I made earlier was there because being in that class among the "regular" the "mainstream" classes and students made me realize that my AP classmates and I are really very few. The majority of this school has such an astounding negativity to them, it is just unbelievable to me.
