The first and maybe last gang started by nerds...Or only in new york.

So back in the day my friend had started out at Stuyvesant high school and he told me about the Decepticons a feared gang. I honestly never connected the gang with being nerds, but then I read that they started in Brooklyn Tech, a public high shcool that you have to take a test to get into. True it was the lowest of the high schools that you could

That's fantastic.

Well in retrospect yes...but the reality is that both you and I would have been hiding from these dudes after school or traveling around with a large group.

True.

I end up viewing these things from the point of view of an author, but all gangs really are just a form of bullying.

Well I was lucky...when I went to high school I left early so I never had any problems. But I think that these dudes would just rob people. If you had a Starter jacket...they would go for that. (I'm not a sports fan so I never had one, or cared to have one) If they liked your sneakers those would be taken. etc. etc. So you at least were attacked for a reason usually.

That's the same kind of H.S. I went too.

Really I didn't think they had high schools like that in Bellingham. Or did you go outside of town?
