100006 #human Thinking about whatever I want, or nothing, without feeling guilty or rushed. 000006 #treefrog How to deal with the people who simply do not see the appropriateness of being self-restrained as a social expectation? And it's not simply black culture versus white, because Ms. Christy is totally on the side of people being quiet. Honestly, I think the problem is mostly Erica. She's the meanest and bitchiest on the subject. The other ones act out, but she really seems personally resentful, where they're more just normal school bullshit ha-ha resentful. Faced with people like that, I just get so easily flabbergasted. It's like people you see out on the street, driving cars and whatnot, and you just ask yourself, Why? Why are you SUCH an ASSHOLE? Then the weird thing is, she came over to me later to ask me for something, and she was perfectly nice and polite to me. I didn't even consciously notice it was her until she was walking away.
