@ Erin, some positive encouragement from your positive friend:
Mr. Clemens thinks that video games are demons, and called an X box a Q Cube (it did make me lol so hard I fell over). Did you know he's also a math teacher?
Yeah, scream and run, scream and run.
Honestly, I think that his goal is to keep the up coming generation stuck in the 18th century, AKA when he was born.
But he's also trying to keep our generation from all dying of diabetes, and you have to give him that it's a pretty good plan to do so.
The half mile he made us run, I was 3rd to last with a time of 4 minutes and 30 seconds, but guess what? I was so proud of myself for not being last.
There are so many reasons I want to transfer to a specialty school right now, so many reasons I no longer want to sit with these Jack Asses and listen to them tell me that I'm fat, and immature, and that listening to loud music kills my hearing. I'm so ready to be home schooled, to give up the fight to be accepted because these people aren't willing to accept me. They don't like different people.
I feel every thing and everyone we knew and loved changing, and I know you do too. I understand why you want to give up, by all means I do. If it were my choice, right now I'd be going to an art school in Portland. (specifically:

I want to give up, but I don't want to loose.
