Rant against teenagers no. 1: School Trips

Post by InnerBrat »

Argh,
Rob and I just got back from seeing The Complete Works of Shakespeare (abirdged). we got really good seats at the front of the dress that cost £32.50 each.

When we get there, the place is crammed to the brim with what appeared to be GCSE Drama students, who were sitting in our seats - and when we kicked them out, proceeded to talk and shout stupidly loudly, and get hideously excited about the least funny of the jokes in the production (y'know, the ones that would be fnny one-liners, but make for dull extended scenes).

Rob paid fucking £65 for those seats, and we're surrounded by discounted kids. If we'd known there was goign to be a school trip, we'd have gone for the tenner ones.

grrrrrr....

I have lots of rants against idiot school kids... Like the throwing around of love like it was a party favor, the completely idiotic way they handle relationships, getting all broken up when someone who they thought they "loved" breaks up with them, and after the "emotional angst" are with some new dumbass within a week...

There's more than just a teenager's idiotic concept of love, too, just don't feel like posting it now. Maybe later.

Oh, and sorry about the ruined theater performance.

(EDIT) And don't get me started on how they type online, too... :roll:

How can you be mad bec they have no exp? What gets me is, they have no exp, yet think they know everything (same thing--yah, it bugs me too but I have to remind myself, "psst--no experience"). It's OK though in the long run (as opposed to the moment at which some kid actually P's me O) bec they'll turn 30 someday and have the same thing happen to them. What happens now is, I tutor, and they make decisions not to show up without telling me, bec they just can't see how their decision affects me.

I have no idea (although I didn't see any designated ushers - just program and Ice cream sellers).
Enjoyed the play, anyway, though

I'm in high school, and yes I'm surrounded by such people with no substance. They all each seem to have no worth as a person.

I completely understand how you feel, innerbrat. I saw it all the time during middle school and my first year of high school. Now that my buddies and I are juniors, things seem to have calmed down.

But there was one girl that annoyed the fuck out of me. In 7th grade, she tried to make me "believe" in the Lord. :roll: I had grown out of that (see the Deconversion Stories thread). She kept having boyfriend after boyfriend and was a wee bit obese :wink: . She would bawl her eyes out when her b/f couldn't stand being with her anymore and left her, but in a few weeks she would have another one but sometimes stalk her former b/fs. :!:

Oh man... :roll:

I'm convinced teenagers aren't born, they are mass produced from a factory and dumped into malls, movie theatres, fast food restaurants, and various department store parking lots.

A separate factory mass produces tripped out piece of shit rice burning foreign cars with massive bass heavy stereo systems, enormous mufflers, and either bicycle wheels for tires or 18 inch rims with a mm of tread on them.

The above are issued to every 16 year old male along with a gaggle of Gap shopping, heavy makeup wearing, low riding jeans abusing girls.

As I've said elsewhere, the teen years are the period where a male makes the perilous journey from boyhood to manhood, by taking an extended detour through "jack-ass".

Yes, I'm surrounded by idiots in almost all my classes(my AP and pre AP classes are a little better, but there are still a good number).

Atleast this year they are juniors and seem a little better but last year in English and in History I was ready to beat the shit out of some of the kids ignorance.

Don't. Even. Talk. About. That. My AP US history class has one moron in it who doesn't know half of our vocabulary. She kept asking the teacher "what does invalid", "unrepentent", "casualties" mean. She makes me angry every time she utters one of her brainless questions. :x
