Punk In
School Written
by Jesse S.
Firstly, regarding the anniversery
of 9/11. A very tragic thing happened, that's true. On the
11th at my school this year I witnessed something that pissed
me off. This guy came in sporting all American clothes and
had about 4 American flag attached to his bag. As I said
I feel for the deceased, but this guy was very ignorant.
Not only were Americans killed in the attacks, but a number
of Canadians and other people from different nationalities
were lost. If you plan to pay repect, do it right...or not
at all. (And the fact that I think that America's retaliation
plan was absolute shit doesn't apply here) Enough about
this Nationalism stuff...next topic. Today someone who I
thought respected those who had there own ideas proved me
wrong. Discussing year book plans to my friend (She's on
the commitee) I say "Hey! Why not get a group picture of
all the people who like punk! It'll be great cause everyone
will hate it!" She looks at me and goes "You think you're
a punk!? You think anyone at our school is a punk!? You
can't be a punk. You have to be a working class person to
be punk!" This startled me. I didn't mean to say I was a
"punk", but she snapped. Turns out her boyfriend who believes
all punks should spike their hair, drop school, do absolute
shit, get drunk and shoot heroin all day. A little bit rubs
off huh. Finally, I don't understand all these little fucks
at my school who made fun of me and my friends last year
for dressing different, and then this year they come with
skater clothes and dyed hair. They're all "Oh, yeah, punk
rock Yo!" Damnit! Stupid Avril Lavigne did this! Anyways...people
should just do what they want, act and dress how they want,
and not judge other people. Fuck trends. Right. I'm done.
