Welcome to Gaia! ::

Clayton Godfreed here. Well, I think the biggest problem in school are with those people who try to blend in with society instead of being theirself. Okay, we've got the posers and wannabes. They may seem like the same thing, but to me, they're not. Alright, posers: they just dress as something in for public view, but they're still the same person on the inside (nerd, preppy, shy, etc). And then we have the wannabes, a serious mental condition where one believes that they are something that they're not. These wannabes will go as far as dressing AND acting like something they think is cool in order to protect their nerdy selves (nerdy is an example). Some will even lose themselves in this phase, leading to white people thinking that they're black (just another example). Now, I don't have anything against these people, but my point is that if people keep this up, everyone will be similar, and not enough unique, different, "weird", "crazy". people will be around to make a difference in the world. There truly is beauty in the world when there are different kinds of light burning. I leave the floor open to other opinions and matters. Later, peace, and spread the love like butter.

I think that you are all correct, but there are other things that go on in schools that is just as bad. think about all those girls that are pregnant before they even graduate, or ppl spreading rumors that someone is pregnant or had sex with every guy or girl in the school. that can hurt the persons reputation and their self esteme! we need more ppl to stand up to those a** wholes and kick them until they promise to keep their mouths shut and quit lying about ppl to make them feel good. also all of the fights and all the violence that leads to someone going to jail or the hospital. these are also factors that you have to think about. but here's the problem, how do you stop it?
