What's scary is that 90% of the people at my high school emulate the behavior they see on those shows, all they care about is sex and getting high and even those who were born with some intelligence hide it under ditsyness so as to "fit in".

I can't wait for college next year... highschool is just...well... full of dumb people

Good luck! Sadly, there's a lot of imbecility on college campi as well. I don't know what your intended major is, but try to hang around with grad students and "non-traditional" students whenever possible.

The grad students tend to be crazy, but they know what's up in academia. The non-trads know what's up in Real Life.

I know. I fear for my grandchildren, one of which will start junior high next year. Her parents are trying to teach their children to be leaders, not followers, so maybe they will keep their heads on straight. Like you. There is so much peer pressure for kids these days.

I wish you the best of luck but if you think college is a place to get away from dumb people you are kidding yourself.
