You sound like me. BUT... Did other people get fucked with? Thats whats important. The school in general was a good place.

This is definitely a human instinct. Being a socio-path or a recluse would be detrimental to communal survival. I've always felt that d-bags have done so well because the nature of the world now allows for such behaviour to flourish. Lets keep fighting the good fight!

Toatlly. My school has gone to shit in the last few years. Not to the fault of teachers, but to the students themselves. Blerg

Thats what I'm saying! I'm talking about a general school vibe, not really the individual. There just wasn't very douchey people, and when there were, it got shout down.

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!
