God I hate teenagers. Arrogant sons of bitches, all of them.

To those of you with more experience: How do you get through the day without just punching one of them? Just a little punch. Won't even bruise for long.

[mistandmayhem]

Let me know if you figure that out.

[protecthim]

I definitely will.

I'll make a damn flow chart. With graphics.

[mistandmayhem]

Throwing the whole class in detention doesn't seem to be satisfying enough, and apparently even that's frowned upon here.

[protecthim]

My problem with detention is, that means you have to interact with the fuckers outside of class. More than is actually deemed necessary from the job description.

That just seems counter-intuitive to me.

[belteddress]

Some of us have self-control, Mr. Winchester. And detention is a far more useful and satisfying tool than the baser method of violence.

Which student is giving you trouble?

[protecthim]

Hey I have plenty of self-control. Case in point: no one has been punched yet, and I've made it through a whole day of classes.

Don't worry about it. Just arrogance. Can't stand people who don't respect their superiors, you know?

[belteddress]

Just a day? You have a long road ahead of you.

[protecthim]

Tell me about it. And that road is looking longer and longer every minute.

[protectthem]

Just tune it out, Dean.

[checks to make sure Dean did a decent lock before adding] It can't be any worse than what I've been dealing with.

[private to Sam, it's whining time]

[protecthim]

Dude, this kid today. Telling me. That he knows more about fighting ghosts and shit than me. THAN ME.

Tell me right now that I shouldn't have popped him one.

What have you been dealing with?

[private to dean]

[protectthem]

...And you DIDN'T punch him? Wow. I'm proud of you. What I've been dealing with is just teenagers with teenage problems, so very not important problems.

Why not just-- whenever we got uppity with Dad, he'd always put us in our place. I mean if this kid is so convinced he's better, why not make a lesson out of it? Through him at something scary and then save him if he can't handle it. That should keep him quiet for a few days, right?

Re: [private to sam]

[protecthim]

Yeah I know. I just like... the more I think of it, the less I think Dad's methods are exactly a healthy alternative.

But then again, the thought of this kid wetting his pants with a banshee on his tail is incredibly satisfying.

[tearsthesky]

Beats me. I'd like to give a couple of 'em one good lump in the back of the head.

[protecthim]

Exactly!

You know how students are making clubs right now? I think we should make a professor club, in which we make dolls of students and just punch them for a while. That could be a healthy outlet for this aggression.

[tearsthesky]

Sign me up for that. 'Course, can't see it working out, what with all the Ministry folk and the Headmaster around. We've gotta be sensitive you know, all that bunk.

[protecthim]

Yeah.

It could be a super secret club.

[youdontgotdbuns]

Are we to assume that you skipped directly from childhood to adulthood then, Professor Winchester? [amused Leia is amused]

[protecthim]

Hey, I was an annoying kid but I respected my superiors. My dad taught me that much.

[youdontgotdbuns]

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but I believe that makes you an anomaly amongst teenagers.

At the very least, their being obnoxious means they don't have larger worries. I find it helps to remind yourself of this...oh, every five minutes or so.

[protecthim]

Yeah, well. Lucky me.

That's true. Although some of them could maybe do with some larger worries sometimes. Like, say, punches.
