My dad said he'd go down to the school and speak with them

My high school is the only one in the county (not including city district)

And it has 2,200 people

<:Dude:726878886411108474>

Mine probably has 900 or less people

As you grow, you think more. However you're never appreciated for it

A very small school in a very small town

As I grow I think more... but won’t be appreciated for it?

As in like the teachers stop caring or people in general stop caring

My puny brain cannot comprehend

Fun fact, this small town ordered the removal of a Civil war monument, which they moved to a graveyard and didn't even put it in right, it's facing the wrong way

You become more capable, however the same treatment is applied. Chastisement is I got. I see my own father use the same damn kiddy gloves with my cousins, who are a solid decade younger than me

Ah

It's cruel to be fatalistic, but life is not ever easy

I notice the more I try fitting in with my generation the less I fit in

As in you expect things to change or others to treat you as if you’re older but they don’t

Ever feel that way?

Kek I’ve never given a fuck about trends. Always done the opposite of what’s popular

They're over here doing stupid stuff for internet followers where as I'm more chill

Same

But at one point I tried fitting in

And time doing that made me more popular

But in a good sense

People knew my name and I didn’t even know theirs but i wasn’t infamous and I wasn’t bratty

I was just well known and people enjoyed my company. Or I’d like to think

That happened to me, and I took it as a sign to hang out with the popular kids, that was a mistake

I always was a part of many friend groups so I never was alone in a class

At least you realized that was a mistake.

It took awhile

I’ve hated popular kids since the 3rd grade

Know the definition of 'lurker'?

3rd grade was when I tried it

||Also I should get to sleep since I didn’t do much school [yesterday]||

But uh

To lurk is to follow from a distance

Ah

I didn’t know if you had a different definition

Like not the typical idk lol

Yeah I'm not typical

I got bullied so hard when I took clarinet classes

Your words are very elegant
