Looking Ahead (More Geek Persecution)

[drais]

While I admit to  emotionally over reacting, I still stick to a few points I
made. Hell is still very much an over reaction. When the kids in the
cafeteria at Columbine on April 20th refer to it as hell, I can accept that.
They will very much be traumatized by this forever. It's a matter of
perspective. i know what it's like to be an outcast (More so in jr High,
High School was okay to me) and I know what it's like to have REAL trauma.
Trust me, there's a huge difference. Maybe they can't change it, but for 99%
of them, they will get over it someday. They may never look back fondly on
those years, but they won't let that stop thier lives from being fulfilling.
Of course, if one chooses to turn being an outcast into a much bigger deal
then it really is, then I supposse it can become one.
