one more day of school this week. thank gods.
gr.8 idiots are just completely stoopid. dunno if I can even finish the year dealing with them every other day without punching one of them. at the start of class it was fine, just the same old bullshit, getting mad at a few of them until they stop saying that everything is 'so gay'.
but then it just escalates. there's this one kid they all pick on. he's a loner, quite a nerd, and has a rep for being a nark. as if that's isn't bad enough in gr.8 the entire class is convinced he's a hugeee poofta (he could be a total closet case, but either way he isn't even out and they pick on him using such homophobic terms). even though I'm not particularly fond of the kid, it pains me to see this going on. most of the kids just talk quietly behind his back and try to keep away from him. but there are a few who just go wayyy too far. there's this other kid who's a compulsive liar and was loudly telling us some story about how the other kid randomly grabbed his balls one day. and whenever he even looks towards the first kid he practically screams, falls down, and rolls around. his buddies always back him up and they just sit around making fun of him almost all class. every chance I get to sneak a few words in I tell them to just ignore him, leave him alone, and get to work. then the second kid starts going on about how he won't pretend to fall for one of the other guys even if he's dressed as a girl for their lip sync. and starts screaming about how if one of the guys were to pretend to be a girl it would make them a tranny and he doesn't do trannies. I came so close to smacking him all fucking class.
and this is all on top of saying that I'm a girly girl. like WHAT THE FUCK??? that was like a personal shot. I realized just how much I hate gender pronouns. or at least female pronouns. I don't connect with them at all.
I think I'm going to talk to izdebski, see if I can just have a talk with the class, try to drill it into their heads that that is NOT ok. and tell them that if they want to talk I'm there for them. who knows, maybe I can even help the kid they pick on so he doesn't react and maybe they'll accept him a little more. that would be greaaat :)
anyways, any shizz you want answered or my opinions on, send my way. and try guessing the songs from my post titles.
