Well then, at what point do boys become men, cause it kinda seems like never. And the whole idea of ‘being a man’ is so fucked up and lame, anyways. I think that’s why guys have such complexes, cause they don’t know whether to ‘be a man’ or be themselves, so they just end up confused and act like total assholes.

sometimes it is never. but you hit the nail on the head with that one--the stigmas surrounding masculinity basically groom assholes. from jump we’re taught not to show weakness, and being a man is about being better, faster, stronger. if you follow the rulebook to the T you end up a beefed up, machismo addled tough guy and if you don’t you’re a sissy. no gray area, no in between.

        ❝  oh my god, so it’s not just you ?  because the other day i accidentally left this super cute diamond choker at the lunch table, came back for it like thirty seconds later, and it was already gone ! stuff like this never happened at the academy. these thieves are super sneaky … and scary, too. sorry about your headphones, though.  ”

“it’s all good. i’m on the case, and even if i don’t get em’ back in time christmas is right around the corner” he says with a nod and a half smile. “sucks about your choker though, i bet it looked cute on you--”

“then they’ve definitely already been put up for sale,” vanessa laughed more-so for herself at his expense than anything. “your life doesn’t not sound exciting enough to know who i am,” she replied shaking her head. “well if you were nicer i’d say i know exactly where they are, but like i said… if you were nicer,” she shrugged, adjusting her bag on her shoulders and turning on her heels. “nice choice of red though. it’ll look great with my highlights.”

“i’m plenty nice” he says matter of factly, acting a little affronted. still he raised an eyebrow at the girl and her apparent inside knowledge of the issue, stopping her in her tracks before she could dart of elsewhere with a tug on her arm. “wait--so what you’re telling me is--you stole them” he said, thinking aloud, the confusion clear as day on his dark features. “is this usually how you make friends?”

“…What kind of car do you have, anyway?”

“so you can hotwire my shit? nah, bro. not today. y’all got everything off me. i’m not walking home too”

I wasn’t putting all men into one group, I was questioning whether it is an ‘all men’ kind of thing, or if it’s only the men I happen to come into contact with.

oh--well in that case it’s definitely the latter. and to be fair  since we’re in high school i think it’s safe to say you haven’t come across many men yet, probably a lot of little boys, which may be your problem.

“just when i thought i’ve heard all the dumb things worth complaining about…  if you have the money for people to take your license, cash, and slash your tires then i think you can get another set of headphones. but heads up, they’re probably going for a nice penny at the pawn shop right about now. no one’s stupid enough to jack your shit and then use it in front of you.”

he almost doesn’t hear the voice coming from the left of him, that was until he realized it was completely trivializing his problem and most of all not helping. he shakes his head, almost as if he’s trying to snap himself out of the morning he’s having before he turns to see who the voice belonged to. “they were limited editon” he says matter of factly, trying to ignore the bit about them getting pawned for his own sake. “yo do i know you?” he asks, dark eyebrows furrowed. “or are you just here to talk shit and make a bad day worse?”

To the boy who sat next to me during Chemistry, please do us all a favor and bathe. I feel like the foul stench of body odor is lingering.

I knew I wasn’t the only one smelling some serious stench coming from the back of the classroom. You might want to move before she finalizes lab partners or else you’ll be stuck with  Mr, B.O. for the rest of the year,

So, just a random general question, but do all men think women are their property? Like, is that just in the male genome? Or is it just the men who were never taught respect and manners?

Damn, I hate to be the guy that pissed you off. But for the record you can’t exactly put all us guys into a group just because of a couple of douches.

“yo, something’s got to give in this student parking lot man. just a couple weeks into this new school thing and i already got two flat tires and someone stole my headphones and my wallet outta my car. keep the cash, man. take my license. just let me get those heaphones back. the base in them bitches was bangin”
