I forgot to mention that as I was walking into Chem today and I walked by Tim Goss and he goes, "Lindsie, since when have you been a goth?" I was like, "What?! I'm not...oh! Of course, you are prejudiced to think that people who wear all black are Goths!", or something like that, though I should have said something about stereotypes rather then prejudices...oh well. He told me he wasn't being prejudice, and maybe he wasn't...perhaps I used the wrong word, however, he pissed me off. Why the hell do people have such a hard time dealing with the fact that sometimes I wear all black! Or my "harsh-exterior" pants? They're pants!! Jesus!!
Pekar and I are on friendly terms; I was never angry with her, just a little annoyed. Now we have a kind of inside joke... like Wilson was wearing all black on Wednesday (he had a gig right after school and didn't have time to change)and I was like, "Mr. Wilson, what's with the all black?" and Mrs. Pekar was exiting the auditorium when I asked him that and she's like, "he's depressed!" becuase I told her it annoyed me that people instantly thought someone was depressed just because they wore all black...she told me she doesn't think that way, and I do believe her. I let out a loud sigh of exasperation and she said, "I said that just for you Lindsie", and I was like, "I know!", But I wasn't angry because I understood that she was just joking. And yesturday she was wearing black pants and a cool black and white shirt and I was like, "Mrs. Pekar, are you semi depressed today?" and she laughed and said yes. Then she asked me, since I was wearing all black today, If I was depressed, to which I answered, "Yes", and she said, "Oh, I'm sorry," or something like that. So now it's a joke.
We had a philosophy class in place of the ysual music theory class we have. Yay! we talked about children and how they grow up...and I said how stupid it is of the government to take away all the power from the parents and teachers, so that kids could do what they damn well please. I said that I didn't agree with violence, but smacking your kid on the ass sometimes is necesary, to which Pekar replied, "spanking your kid is not violent. Violence is when you hit with the intent to cause harm to another person. However, parents don't hit their kids to cause harm to them, they do it for disipline and so that the kid wont do something dangerous that WILL cause them harm", which makes sense. So hitting your child is ok in theory, but not okay by government standardsl, which is stupid. Mrs. Pekar said that I did turn out ok, because of the wise things I was saying. But really, it's true! I turned out ok becuase my mom spanked me when I desearved it- my brother, on the other hand, didn't get spanked because my sisters "protected" him from his well-desearved spankings, and he's antisocial, smokes pot, gets drunk, doesn't talk to his family, has anger-management issues, etc. We were talking about how kids need disipline, and some times spanking is all that can be done to disipline a child! If a child doesn't fear consequence then he/she will do anything he/she wants because there is no consequence, or they don't fear it. Children and even teens need limits. We may not admit it now, but we do like having rules because it shows that our parents care about us, and we have boundries. Boundries keep you safe and teach you right from wrong. I'm not saying there aren't unjust boundries and rules, and that you shouldn't argue the point with your parents, but for the most part, like it or not, the rules parents set down are good ones. So keep complaining, but when you grow up to be a well-rounded adult, thank your parents. I see kids with no boundries everyday, in daycare and in the foster care system. They turn out to be screwups. trust me, I know.
