Just a tad.

My AP US History class is a constant throw down.
Today was probably one of the worst days.
Our junior class use to be the tigthest..
Let's be honest here .. it basically started with a couple
that were together for like 3 years.
This turned in to much of a tragedy rather than a love story, ever since then
we spent our time taking sides.
The boys in our grade are very sexist
in fact in this particular class they've all been sitting in the front these past few days
taking most of the girls seat to prove that the girls talk way to much
and they couldn't listen
anyway.
Mr.Freeman our brave teacher threw out a debate...
& of course the most controversial  Gay Rights.
I say props to the first five min we were doing good .
Then
the personal attacks come in..
you heard things like

" Be very careful what you're saying I have gays in my family and you 're really offending me."

"This is why men hate women, can't shut up enough to hear anything."

"You just hate everyone you can't get in bed with you."

"Next time we have a debate how about you go sit out side and mingle with your thumbs."

"You're so closeminded.."

"Stop interrupting me. I heard you, now listen to me."

I even heard a

"Shut the ***** up"

"Wow guys. We all sound like that class from freedom writers. " <-- very true Andrew.
The debate was actually good .. then you started hearing things that had nothing to do with the debate
but just being mean in general.

Then Mr.Freeman hands a student a ruler and said "Next time I even think
about having a debate with this class beat me with this ruler please."

Our class is very intelligent, extremely intelligent.
But also extremely opinionated, hardheaded with very strong personalities.
We all want the last word..
we have a lot to learn about life, about love, about patience, about the other gender, about equality, about making a home, about listening, about it all.  it's evident, including myself.
I come right along with this .. sometimes.. I just can't bite my tongue.

p.s. secretly .. like way down deep in our souls so deep you can't even see it
we may just love each other just a tad. I mean think about it we love each other just enough
to tell each other how we really feel.
