Student Arrested for Writing Zombie Fiction

[Tracer]

When I wasn't being crucified by the administration I had fun in HS with you guys. I hated my senior year because I couldn't hit the library at lunch with ya'll or hang out at the locker island before classes.

So have we obtained a copy of the story yet? I'm refraining from any judgment until I see the damn paper.

High school is, I think, one of the worst things in the U.S.A. Unless by divine providence you find a high school that breaks the mold.

Middle School is far worse. I actually had fun in high school.

Middle school sucked.
Nothing's worse than being a late bloomer.

I always got made fun of in Middle School so that sucked and some really bad shit was going down in my life.

Highschool was alright until my Junior year when some more really bad shit was going down in my life and I kind've gave up on everything and did really bad (and suffered for it, failed my junior year but still managed to graduate on time by only .6 credits). Senior year was eh, I never did anything yet still managed to do better then all my other years in highschool (I mean I did nothing, highschool was where I got most of my sleeping done, literally), I went into the USMC three days after graduation (which I didn't attend because I didn't give a fuck) and that was that, highschool is so far in the back of my mind that it takes some thinking to recall what happened back then.

I think middle school is terrible for *everyone*.

My high school was pretty sweet.

No, about 5% of students like middle school, I think. The other 95% hated these people.

As my age suggests, I'm still in high school. Thankfully, I go to a decent school. My school in general doesn't have the overwhelmingly large groups of annoying people; the "rednecks", cocky rich kids, ghetto-ballers, etc., go to other schools in the county. We're pretty much strictly normal middle-class people. It also doesn't hurt that I'm in the IB program, so I'm pretty much isolated from the people that would cause any trouble.

I was afraid. I was justified.

One last note: When you're a teenager, this is the worst thing in your life and terrible thoughts do run through your mind, though later your realise that you always made mountians out of molehills and you brought a lot of touble on yourself because you wouldn't just shrug off rules you found offensive then (they were really of no consequence). It was a downward spiral but when a teenager find him/herself (seldom her) in these situations... the idea of shooting a school up doesn't sound 100% irrational anymore. The same people who most popularly think suicide is the way out (teenagers) are also the same people who think their life and freedom is being threatend by "the man," and understanding where the kids at Columbine were coming from isn't too difficult. It's still wrong and senceless, but teenagers are often wrong, misguided and indeed, at times, senceless. Personally, I never thought of it when I was in HS but when those things happend I could imagine fully what was going through their heads then. The irony is, this kid getting charged with a felony for wirting a zombie story is suspected of conspiracy to murder/terrorisim, might have never even considered such a thing, but with enough bullying from authorities like this - he may. Perhaps we always create our own worst monsters.

I never did any of that. I never took anything as life-threatening or freedom crunching. I just went about my business and didn't mind much else.

I was a wise teenager. Wisdom beyond my years.
