The benefits of unpopularity
I spent all of high school on the outside looking in. The kids were like animals and thugs. The school bus dropped us off real early in the morning, like almost an hour before the school opened, so I spent that first hour far away from the other kids, usually off to the side where the trees were or in the back by the bleachers. At lunchtime I left the school and walked to a quiet village nearby. After school I walked the 3 and a half miles home because the kids riding the buses were nothing more than convicts in training. We didn't have home schooling back then but I would've been a prime candidate for it.

that is very sad. i had the same idea about the 2 public schools in my town... stupid, violent, good-for-nothing kids.. i could hear their screams while they're in the bus, or when i'm passing by their school some days. luckily, my family was able to afford a local private school, with much more civilized kids, and i never had to endure these little criminals.
it's just sad to read someone didn't have this privilege.
