It is a big deal. And in the tiny town I came from the teachers were much like the children, into their same social code of who mattered and who didn't. The run amock adolescent world is a total character-free zone. I came to despise the kids that did this so much that I went from being an easy-going quiet kid to someone completely filled with hate by the time I graduated. Luckily in college the rules changed somewhat. It is a sick world when some gal everyone knows is "doing" the football team is of a much higher regard than someone trying to be a decent kid. Should the child domain be allowed to have such completely seperate (and decadent) values? I was in school a long time ago and things are much worse now.

Bump that! I used to be a nice person, before junior high. I was in my 30's before I realized where all the anger came from.
