Oh god I can already imagine it.
Everyone would be white, male, and extremely awkward.
I would stick out like a sore thumb.

Nothing wrong at all with encouraging your kid to defend him/herself from bullying/abuse/etc. Also nothing wrong with being blunt and saying what you think.IndomitableSam said:Backbone has its good parts and bad parts. I easily offend people, because I say what I think and am pretty harsh. And judgemental. It's the flipside to the shy, insecure girl I was growing up. Soon as I finished school I figured, fuck it, and started being myself. Now I'm an ass to hide the insecurity.Beffudled Sheep said:God I wish you were my mom, friend, or significant other (not to be creepyIndomitableSam said:)... More people these days need a serious injection of the backbone you seem to have an abundance of. Your kids (if you have any) would probably turn out pretty damn good barring extraordinary circumstances.
As for kids, I have seen what they do to each other these days and it's made me decide I don't (probably) want any as I would teach them to fight back... And when they couldn't, I'd go to the kid's door and tell the parents (and the kid) if they didn't stop, I would hunt them down and torture and kill each one of them, starting with the children. Not kidding. I would probably hurt someone if my kid was bullied.
I never understood the worlds obsession with lying about who you are down to the smallest details :/
And judging by how I react when someone messes with my younger cousins I'd probably react similarly to you if someone threatened my child(ren). All in all, still think you'd be a good parent
Same here.Berithil said:I think everyone here would be in the "nerds" group
I'd probably be the quiet guy who no one ever pays attention to. I have yet to make any sort of impact or impression on the forums (other than the MLP user group)
Oh, and I'd probably also be the guy who is heavily involved with the drama club. I like acting
Well, I'm usually quiet unless someone can back me up.
No matter how sure I am, I'm almost never right with confidence, you tell me I'm wrong, I'll think I'm wrong.
I honestly would imagine Escapist High being sort of a hostile passive-aggressive waste land, where people lie in wait, hoping for someone to express an ignorant opinion so they they passive-aggressively send you home in tears after ripping you a new one. And the debate club is packed, because Everyone goes to the Debate Club. The Debate club is the most popular extra-curricular in school, and if your not there, then you are a square. Gaming Club falls into a close second, followed by My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Club, then the Anime club [http://gunshowcomic.com/ac/], and then sports clubs have become the minority clubs whose residents are met with pitying/scornful looks like people who admit to watching anime/attending anime clubs are met with.
Anyways, in this new hierarchy, I would be even less notable amongst my peers, as I am now part of the mainstream. With the Escapists being the students, I would probably not fit in very well and would probably spend all of my time eating alone, and avoiding conversations with most people as not to be brutally debated until I run home crying, and then I would probably run home crying anyways. I wouldn't even be the background kid. I would be the kid eating in a remote corner or room that people rarely come to, like the room of a teacher that no one likes that lets students stay in her room, but leaves for lunch and I would probably be on my laptop watching anime or playing pokemon or something of the sort. I'd probably go as far as to turn off the lights to further fuel my depressive attitude. (I'm not like that now, but back in high school, I didn't really get on that well with anybody. I didn't naturally assimilate with the groups of people I wanted to be with very well, and any friendships I had were hard fought and took a good amount of time. I moved to California in the 8th grade, and it took until about the 11th grade for people to be used to me enough not to be annoyed at everything I say and actually want to talk to me, which was invalidated when I had to move back to Michigan, and make a completely new set of friends. All that hard work, down the drain :[. Being both reclusive, unintelligent and annoying is a pretty damn bad combo)

...In Escapist High, I would probably be very similar to what I was in my actual high school: the nerdy, quiet girl who doesn't really talk much and tends to sleep in the back of the classroom, but occasionally has snarky commentary about what is going around her. Considering my usual semi-lurker status, this seems to fit.
What about a (curse you for making me use this word to differentiate >.>) soccer team? I think I could make that by virtue of nobody else knowing how to play.Fappy said:
Otherwise I guess I'd just be someone with a few friends and acquaintances here and there but outside of that no-one's heard of me. Somewhat similar to my actual school experience I guess.
Id choke from all the political correctness." Guys I know that theres not a problem but I hate people that hate minorities. lets talk about that to make ourselves feel progressive and smart."lol
