For those of you who don't know - a decepticon is the complete opposite of a nerdfighter. A nerdfighter is someone who is made of awesome.
I was in RMPS (Religious Moral and Philosophical Education) today and felt like I was ... in a zoo. Or maybe a space explorer discovering and observing some Martians. I'm not calling my classmates aliens. I just can't understand the things they do sometimes.
For example : One girl debated the cause for her suspension from school with our teacher. He had allegedly claimed she had sworn at him. She was adamant however that she hadn't sworn at him, just around him.
Okay, so it may sound like I'm just venting here, but I swear there's a more meaningful point coming up.
When we're little, we get in trouble A LOT. We run in corridors where we shouldn't, we wrestle slightly too violently with our siblings and cousins and the classic taking a hissy fit when you don't get your own way. As we grow up, we get into trouble for slightly more serious reasons : staying up after you should have put the light out, forgetting to do homework etc. Course, as we become a teenagers, we have worse problems. We skip school, start smoking, drinking, even taking drugs. I know a girl who started using drugs in first year.
I always thought that by the time I reached fourth year we would have matured but this conversation made me doubt my theory. My friends all stayed awesome when they reached high school, but others have just degenerated and degenerated into a state of decepticonness. I keep believing that the attitudes of my classmates will become more civilised as they grow older but the ages of the London rioters being somewhat into the twenties worries me.
What if the anger of these teenagers only increases with age? Will we end up with seventy-year-old arsonists?
