So right off the bat, they need to abolish the student government that made this vote, because that student government is a tradition that elevates only some of the students. It also has a clear winner and a loser, so the losers will have their feelings hurt. We can't have that. So the student government needs to be removed.
This is ridiculous. Why cant we have traditions? A lot of kids dont care anymore and would absolutely vote a woman that identifies as a man king and a man that identifies as a woman queen. The genderfluid kids could hypothetically be voted in as either one.
I wish I could say that I'm surprised by this stuff, but I could see it coming. When I was in my late teens, early 20s, I could see that the next generation was being completely babied by their parents. Their moms were following them around and helping them with everything. They wouldn't let them out of their sight. So here we are, 15+ years later, and we have an entire generation of kids who think everything should be handed to them. They think that there shouldn't be winners and losers. They think that every one of their ideas is special and unique. They don't like to be told that they're wrong. They don't like to hear things that they disagree with. These kids are in college now. They're in high school. And when they get out into the real world, they're going to see that nobody gives a shit if their feelings are hurt. There are winners and losers in life. There are people who get the job, and people who do not. There are people who get the house, and people who do not. The real world is cold and unforgiving, and these kids have only known their schools with their safe spaces and their overly sensitive teachers who jump as soon as they throw a tantrum.
"We got guys, that can play, you got guys, that pull hay!" (then we start waving our wallets in the air). good ol' Jesuit, yo.
More like "My dad's bank account has money, your dad's bank account is funny." I have never understood bragging about your parents money. You didn't earn shit.
You know, it's funny, I grew up comfortable. Never really considered my family wealthy because we didn't go around blowing cash, but as an adult I realize that my dad has a lot of assets that will pay off now. We grew up wearing generic shit and I hated it. My mom bought us shoes from Payless Shoes. I remember my first pair of Nikes was HUGE for me. I was so proud of them and they were just some shitty shoes that we got on sale at G.I. Joes. But I look back and I realize that we lived very comfortably. Life was even better when my mom was a flight attendant and we got to travel, but that shit ended when my sisters came along....... bitches ruined everything! So with that said, I didn't really grow up starving for money, but I also didn't grow up thinking I was better than anyone else. We were just..... comfortable. Of course, my mom's shitty station wagon was pretty embarrassing.
I never got jordans either. God knows I wanted them, but I have asian parents and they are fucking stingy yo. I think my first Jordans I got was when I was in College. Never was down the the payless though. That shit would fuck you up psychologically b/c everyone would rip on you for rocking them.
We were so broke growing up, if they were selling dollars for dimes all we could do was walk up and down the sidewalks waving our arms shouting, "Ain't that a deal!"
