Question I'm fifteen years old, male and in high school, 10th grade. I have come to the realization that school is clearly just a babysitting service and i had decided that i want to get an education in spite of my school. I began with attempting to improve my english and speech. I decided i might as well entertain and motivate myself, so i began being a wise ass to teachers. For instance, today in class my teacher called me a retard. I said "Im a retard?" and then i began to iterate every phone number of every student in the class (I have a graphic memory which responds to multiple stimuli), then looked at him and said, "Its clearly not the lack of intelegence, or the inability to memorize. I've been waiting to give you the oportunity to embarrass me in public and belittle yourself. Now with all due respect sir, would you please stop procrastinating and proceed with your lecture, sir?". He just sat there dumbfounded. It was pretty amazing and i've been CRAVING for more lines to use all day. I figured maybe you can help me out with that? (THE CLASS WAS LAUGHING SO HARD!)
Answer Class clowning is a good positive step. But stick with school, do your home work and keep up the confidence. Maybe one day you'll make it to the stage. I'll be looking forward to seeing ya. Good luck!
If someone calls you names (including teachers and students alike) just act like it. I used to get the "you're gay" or "fuckin geek" thing a lot. SO what'd I do? Guess.
