I'm pretty used to school uniforms, so I'll wear mine, but I'm wondering. How come a bunch of teenage bullies get to tell us what to do? Like, I know our parents aren't here but aren't there adults reading these things who are a little concerned about this Discipline Committee?

The truth is, they beat up students, sometimes for no reason at all. They don't have to follow their own rules if they don't want to, and from what I can tell a lot of them don't even go to class regularly. Also, they wear armbands. I don't see why this club gets to make major school decisions that can even override the teacher's.

It just bothers me a little. That's not what clubs are about.

Did you threaten them, too?

Are you really asking such a question? Maybe you're looking to follow your friend Charlie Dalton- challenging authority and spending your youth behind bars for it.

[deliberately]

Jeez, don't compare me to Charlie, he's at the opposite end of the spectrum, he'd probably rather we didn't have a school. I don't challenge all authority, I mean, I'm a pretty good student. Just the people who abuse it.

Your concern for your classmates is admirable, but you are hardly in the place to judge why or why not we were selected.

[deliberately]

You probably just selected yourselves, you're not exactly valedictorian material.

Your post brings up some interesting points, but I don't see the issue with armbands. They identify a group.

Go study World History. Pick a book on the 1940s. Read the chapter about World War II.

Don't assume your world is superior to ours.

[deliberately]

It's this world, it's not just mine.

You cling to these social stigmas. What benefit do they bring you, besides rash judgments on authority figures.

[deliberately]

You're not my authority figure.

[victoryflare]

I am now.

I don't think armbands are such a stigma in the east, even with the same world history.

[deliberately]

Oh hey yeah, thanks, I didn't really consider that.

[notwalking]

Nah. I can tell you right now that my friends aren't that stupid about it.
