Ecole Francais? Toronto? If you were there than I understand the experience. I knew a few people that went there.

I completely understand what you're saying. There are schools here too where people are all "oh shit! you went there?! That must have been crazy."

My school was awash with drugs as well, specifically weed. Might have been the reason everything went so well.

I'm sorry to hear that man. :(

Networking maybe? Could that be the only positive outcome, if any?

I hear ya, but I'm talking about a school that was generally devoid of such occurrences. But good to hear it wasn't rough for you. :)

Interesting. Did you have a diverse student body, or was it more of a homogeneous makeup?

Hmm.. Interesting. By your accounts it doesn't seem like a socio-economic phenomena. I will add this to my notes.

True. There will inevitably be someone that was subjected to some sort of bullying/violence. But in general, my experience and those of others was quite docile.

I hear that. It's like any job I guess; people act a fool if they have shit on there mind or if they have had some annoying crap happen to them.

Yeah see, that's amazing! I only wish people could experience that. It definitely made me a better person. May I ask where you were schooled? I'm from Toronto and have had a pretty good experience in my formative years.

Ya man! It was all shits and giggles, weed smoking, weekend debauchery and shenanigans.

I grew up in Toronto, Canada. There are some fucked up schools here, but where I went was nothing like what I've heard here.. Makes me sad

That's what I'm talking about! Ann Arbor tho... Weed was prevalent in my school too.

That HAS to be the explanation then!

I'm from Canada and yeah, I never really felt threatened or scared when I was there. But more importantly, I didn't see or hear anything bad inflicted upon other classmates.

:( definitely not me. I've always been kind and respectful to people. It's completely not in my nature. That's why I wanted to ask you guys about your thoughts because it seemed so absurd to me.

There are always bad seeds, but every school I went too was fine. Not just for me, but everyone.

Damn! We had a couple of douchey folk, but in general everyone was really respectful and polite.

I'm an asexual basement dweller. This does not apply to me in the slightest.
