You write well for a fifteen-year-old. It’s unfortunate that you have to...deal with life in PG County, though.
Cheers from across the Potomac!
15 year olds can vote? Must be ACORN.
DO NOT let anyone tell you that one person can't make a difference.
You might start by asking your “friend” why Barak is going to fix this economic problem when his current economic adviser was running Fannie Mae a few years ago. Franklin Raines.
Stay strong, Helena.
You’ll get lots of facts and moral support here.
These kinds of encounters build character. How you handle yourself speaks to the quiet ones watching, and listening to your words.
Welcome to FreeRepublic. This is where you get your real education.
No. Better yet...move out of PG County! (at least Carroll is a little bit better)
God bless you, Kiddo, and welcome to FR.
My daughters faced much the same thing in high school here in California. They managed to survive but are facing similar issues in college, even though the colleges they are attending are not known for liberal activism, and you should hear my stepchildren, who attended UC Santa Cruz and Reed. Truly frightening in their indoctrination.
God Bless You Helen and Stand Strong!
Sorry to hear about your day, but I think we all can expect these kinds of experiences will get more and more frequent. If you can't find any conservative students to hang with, I guarantee there are some Republican teachers there, laying low. Just ask around -- you'll be surprised.
I know this because I am a middle school teacher in the absolute heart of liberalism: Massachusetts. I was surprised to discover as many conservative teachers on the staff as I did.
Good luck, and keep posting.
Hey, I used to wait tables at Bay n’ Surf.
Stay strong; but it sounds like you’re doing that.
I liked your ebonics.
God bless you...
...Maryland is a lost cause unfortunately...why with O’Malley and all...um..well you know what I mean.
..stay strong.
Hooah.
Young lady, you are truly a pilgrim in an unholy land. Please watch your back, I fear for your safety.
You are braver than I am, girly. But you go and stay strong. I’ll be watching for your name in a few years... I think you’ve got it in you to be somebody that we can keep our eye on.
God bless!
BRAVO, WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I too am from Laurel. Although considerably older than you.
These people you go to school with are racist pigs. They are intolerant and arrogant.
And they are the AP of PG county.
We are the modern Jews and they are the modern nazis. Learn how to defend yourself.
Reminds me of several experiences in my life. I am also from Maryland and was in a “Study Hall” class which turned out to be headed by a Michael Moore loving lunatic. Unfortunately I feel very uncomfortable having to be outnumbered and we both yelled at each other, this was in High School BTW and I turned 22 recently.
I also remember that one person in the groups that I was with(one a Jewish group and another a group with asperger’s) was either a Republican or a McCain voter(yeah that small). It is pretty handy for me to keep my mouth closed until I wanted to present some realistic details. Otherwise I just think, why should I put up with this much adversity? It is obvious that I will not be making any progress. My problem, I guess, is that I am very skeptical about how evidence will be read by the true believers I meet. So you are in one of the big Democrat counties in Maryland? If the girl loves Obama so much, A good amount, it seems, because of his skin color, did her parents vote for Michael Steele in the last season, since he isn’t authentic “ghetto” trash or a Feel-Good Jesse Jackson suck-up, they just don’t care.
Thank goodness she didn’t bite your head off, she seems like quite a piece of work, with a nice hint of indoctrination also.
Cool login name. Assuming your last name is O’Malley like mine, I’m pinging some other O’Malley Freepers.
I’ll need to read your article later.
