It never seems to leave. This over pressing knowledge of being different; unique, as those who try to make the blow less harsh. Thats the craziest thing to have to deal with as an adolesecent. The fact that we aren't the same. How silly.

The thing is that each individual has to come to some kind of resolution about it. More often than not its "fuck everyone else" or "how can I change to fit in?" Neither are very viable options.

"We'll put a boot up your ass; It's the American way."

This quote was discussed in a class that I was visiting today. I was the only one, excluding the teacher, who saw it as inappropriate.

That doesn't mean that its bad to feel the other way. It just means that its different.

If someone is content where they are, who is anyone to try and change them?

As much as living in Joshua drives me nuts, each of those people are right where they need to be, even if they do pride themselves on being self proclaimed rednecks. I'm not just saying that. The boys in the class were proud say that they were and what they believed. They should be.

Different is different. Unique.
