Neuronal Perceptions

Welcome class, to our second lesson on how School Sucks and is ruining your life. Of course, do you all remember the time when you had to dress up in this piece of shit:

Lamers

These uniforms were supposedly invented in the 1970s and had the whitest shirt, and shoes you could ever imagine. Girls have it worse, having to put on a blue piece of shit over their shoulder which I presume would notoriously keep dropping off their shoulders during class. Apparently, attending school and being uncomfortable go hand in hand. And what more every Monday, another embarrassing accessory is added to this collection of lameness. The all-important “tie”. Yup, the perfect weapon for a potential bully, or a teacher gone mad.

And then, would you imagine this, having to keep your shoes clean and white every week, if not the appointed prefects would award you with marks which will add to your bad reputation in the school. Get enough of those and you might be expelled. So, being a poor school kid, you gotta scrub and scrub those cheapskate and stupid shoes until all the dirt has been removed and then apply artificial whitening on it, as if teeth didn’t need it already.

Of course, with school comes Physical Education. At least the schools have some decency of providing you with much better T-shirts than the lousy white piece of crap that you have to wear. I still have my shirt right now, I think they look alright, actually. However, I don’t know why, but teachers absolutely hate to see you in it. The unwritten rule of the school is — after your Phys Ed class, you have to change out of this, back into your nice “shitty lab coat”. Oh and add that choker tie too. No wearing of that nice shirt during class or teachers and prefects will freak out.

And besides, having a uniform that identifies myself — getting identified by the public is a little bit unnerving. Darkwolf, the hero of the night, and vigilante of darkness will never, ever be seen by the public or ever be associated with his writings, for he is the “unnamed” superhero, the protector of the weak and the oppressed.

So why go to school at all? At least you don’t have to wear a stupid uniform if you go to college directly, and you won’t have to meet stupid teachers and adhere to their stupid rules. But the world isn’t always so perfect. Teachers come in all kinds and all colours. What would happen if you manage to piss them off?

Tune in tomorrow to find out.
