Just read a letter concerning my sisters attendance for school and I'm not gonna rant about why she's not going to school because it makes my head hurt thinking about it.

But one bit in particular just hit a nerve:
"If there are school- related problems that affect attendance then they need to be brought to the attetion of your childs Team Leader so they can be addressed"

"addressed" is all they can do. Never, NEVER have schools been able to do anything about anything,Teachers and the displinary system is fucking useless to get to the point.
Since primary school to the end of high-school kids get shit put on them and there are tears and fights, They don't do anything particulary effective to stop any kind of bullshit that goes on in schools.

You know when I hear about all the shit that goes on between kids at school such as, one of my younger siblings who is in year 11 had two friends spat on and called ugly and emo by a couple of scrawny dirty rat tail wangsters who think they're all tough and being big "men" by putting down others. I tell you what because i've seen how jocks and gangster/wangsters think how they live and dress is the way of life but I tell you what, A majority of them make themselves look and dress like idiots.

Gangsters, wangsters, emos, scene kids, goth, indie, arty, post modern or whatever who gives a fuck, They dress the way they dress and if it helps them figure out an identity and help them be comfortable in their own skin and being able to express themselves its great. It just shouldn't have to turn into one big shit fight about who should be who and what should be what. Just because someone don't act or dress like the person standing across from you doesn't give anyone the right to discriminate.

I don't know where I was going with this but I just needed it out of my head.
