Charging your friends...

Post Reply New Topic

When I was in 10th grade, the seniors in the 2005-06 class invited me to their picnic bench but I turned their invitation down. Ten minutes into the lunch duration of 12:15-12:45, I pretended I fixed a bayonet to a C.S. Richmond rifle, and scared a girl who was interested in tutoring me in math along with two other fellers who were also interested, but changed their minds.
When I continue to get tempted to do the same thing when I watch a Civil War or World War I movie, and pretend I'm either in hand-to-hand combat with a Union soldier at Gettysburg, or being mowed down by machine-gun fire at Gallipoli, or gassed at Second Ypres, I lose friends, even when I debate with them about their beliefs on religion or politics
Plus, in public, I talk to myself like I'm. Talking to a Confederate soldier.

It seems like maybe they weren't your friends in the first place.

They were my friends, I just lost them as my friends after charging at them like I was a Confederate soldier with a bayonet fixed to a C.S. Richmond rifle.
My assistant principal caught me in the act. So, he told me to go back into the cafeteria, pack my book bag, dump my trash, and report to the office, and wait til lunch was over.

Some behaviors are inappropriate in public; war reenactments (unless it is part of an official reenactment) are one of them. Are you able to control these behaviors? It is extremely important to your future that you learn how.

Oh, I would stop this at once if you can. I'm sure you mean no harm, but I imagine it comes off as really, really creepy / scary to other people.

It doesn't mean you have to stop entirely, just as long as no one's around.

EDIT: I thought the thread was going to be about charging your friends money...

In school, if you have a "violent" type calm down, interest, or zone out, then they are supposed to work with you in your IEP to find an alternative. I would talk to your counselor.
