Fun confrontation yesterday. I have
Fun confrontation yesterday. I have this great kid who has embraced the 'sullen, rude, hateful teenager' role so well he deserves an Oscar. His speech would definitely begin with "You don't like me! You REALLY don't like me!"
The entire period this angel disrupted the 8th period class. When I told him he couldn't get water (school rules), he screamed out that he hated me. Wonderful. I told him that I was ecstatic, now go ahead and sit down. He continued to disrupt the class, never opening his book, never doing any work. Finally, I turn back from the board and see him tweezing his eyebrows with a girl's makeup mirror. I tell him and the girl that if they're done with all the girl stuff, maybe they can do some math. "Girl stuff?!?! Girl Stuff!? I bet I've fucked more girls than you have this year, Mister! How many girls have you bagged this year?!"
Realistically, we know that both this boy and I have 'bagged' the same number of girls this year... zero. He has 'bagged' more girls in his dreams, certainly. I just sat there, flummoxed, too shocked to yell or laugh. I would never have done something like this at his age, even at full hormone insanity. Sometimes I just realize that my childhood, my upbringing, my entire value system were entirely different from what these kids have.
