I think it is all stupid. I remember that stuff in highschool, and my brother went through it. Both my brother and his wife have scars from when they were in highschool. It was really frustrating for me to see them go through that. Luckily, they both grew out of it. Just on my brother's wedding day, my dad (he doesn't know about any of it) asked my brother's wife what happened to her leg. It has scars all the way down it. She lied to my dad and said a dog at the vet had done it. My dad being clueless got into this whole conversation on how could a dog make such odd scars. It was uncomfortable because I didn't want to say anything, and I just wanted my dad to shut up. I kept trying to change the subject to keep her from being uncomfortable.

It is as if it is trendy to be depressed and negative. And I think depression is contagious. If you hang out with a bunch of sad angry people, it's hard for it not to rub off. I am so thankful that my brother got past all that. I don't think it is truly about being cool. These people obviously do not love themselves. I think they have deep issues and need help.
