When the ballots came out to vote for candidates for Snow Week court, I voted for all the least popular people on the class list. I didn’t expect any of the students I voted for to win, of course, but one can always dream. I dream of a day when the social balance is hugely disturbed and some unfortunate-looking girl with poorly colored hair and braces can put on a fancy dress and link arms with a mathlete wearing his dad’s suit.
If you’re reading this, and you’re popular, I’m not really sorry for having offended you. Don’t you think you’ve had enough? Isn’t enough that you have the most money, the most disciples (no, they’re not really friends, they’re accessories), the prettiest face, the best hair, and the nicest clothes? Share your glory. Believe me, when you graduate from high school and go out into the real world, you’ll wish you had that little bit of karma on your side.
The bullying that goes on in high school is ridiculous. It has to stop. Perhaps electing kings and queens for school events isn’t exactly bullying, but it certainly doesn’t make the bullied feel any better. It just lets us know that we’re not good enough. You know, some people didn’t even appear on the Snow Week ballot? The student senate forgot about them. That is so sad.
I’m really frustrated about this, and I want to write more – hopefully I’ll get to later. But right now, I have homework. Grr!!!
For clarification, FFA is in charge of snow week, not student senate. And when I was in high school, a student in a wheelchair who had lost the ability to speak was elected homecoming king, and the queen was the valedictorian. So it's not always this bad, everywhere. It will get better.
