Conformity problems

-Are you as an American Teen pressured to conformed to anything?


=Yes, conformed to getting good grades(And failing at it) but constantly demanded to work hard at something.

=And I'm also being conformed to write down this paper...  :P take that Mr. Schreiber.

=I also normally am pressured to embrace madness...  no not really.


+Going to College

+doing the 'right' thing

+Youth Culture

+going to school


-Do you rebel against any of this?  How does the rebellion affect you?


=I didn't necessarily try to rebel against getting good grades but...  I don't have them so...  I guess that counts...  And then my parents don't trust me as much as I want them to.

=I never do what others would be considered "right" thing.  I do what could be considered the "left" thing.  It's always fun :3

=I don't follow young culture too much...  but I at least stay clothed.  i tend to get a lot of bizarre set of friends.


"YOU'VE TRICKED ME TOM SAWYER!"

Hey! I'm not dead yet!! - Thoreau

Ahh~ moving pictures!  Not only that, talking moving pictures  You humans!!  You are definitely revolutionary.  But hey...  Most of those authors aren't even dead yet, there's no need to consider us passed away.  Though I suppose the name "dead-but-except-for-that-one-guy-but-nevermind poets" would've been a bad name...  Those kids and the teacher, they made me proud to be who I am.  And where have I've seen school master before?...  Was it his action that reminds me of something?  Or just the way he speaks...

-Henry David Thoreau
or David Henry-  Mom...  don't edit my reviews...

The Dead Thoreau Society

I thought Todd Anderson out of all the boys resembled Thoreau the most.  Sure Todd started out very timid and silent which wasa very un-Thoreau-y but he developed into a man of conviction and he was willing to go against the rules of the school to be heard and let known.
