Dear Adults (Episode 6, pt 1) High School

Image
Hey y'all Dear Adults?  Back to a blog near you.  Today’s subject?  High school.  Intro?  Done. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.  Some content is exaggerated or hyperbolic for humorous purposes. To whom it won't concern: high school.  Adults love to talk about high school.  They love to romanticize it, actually, as you can see by the literal hundreds of novels and movies set in high schools so fictional that there aren't teenagers having a stress-related breakdown in the hallways and all those confusing, hormonal teenagers (played by adults in their mid-twenties, of course) are placed in lovely clique boxes so the general audience can understand them better. I talked last week in my post "Rage Poem" that what I say doesn't make a true difference in the world (it’s not as emo as it sounds).  If not making a difference and being ignored sounds fun to you though, please...

This is a competition between four teams made up of the high school  Youth Group, and the middle school Youth Group. Team Green, Team Yellow, Team Blue, and Team Red. All made up of a mix of Highschoolers and Middleschoolers. I'm on the red team. :) They all compete with each other in various games, this is my first year and I'm not exactly sure on what all they do, but it looks very interesting. Last night we did the Race Lottery, which is when you find out what team you're on. We (my brother and I), got there late so there wasn't any seating room for us, so we just stood there. we had to turn in our Race regis...
