>discussing SAT prep schools with my asian friend
>talking about how how different things are where they live since it's a primarily asian area and has cram schools and stuff
> tell friend their schools and schools in general should focus more on things like basic writing skills instead of just standardized test taking
>friend gets mad at me because "you're not as good as an essay writer as most of these kids how dare you accuse all asians of writing fobby"
>remind friend how they got an almost perfect score on the SAT yet failed the basic writing exam at our college, along with mostly exchange students and asian students from their area. They were all forced to take a remdial writing course first semester
>tell them I wasn't even talking about kids writing like a fob, but how writing as a skill in general is severely lacking with kids coming out of high school anymore.
>This will effect a lot of essay writing in college, applying to colege, cover letters, etc. And will especially be harder for kids from low income areas

Jesus christ why do people always make everything you say a slight against minorities or whatever. I was stating a fact, not attacking all asian students. Calm the fuck down.

>Get invited to a normalfag sleepover in middle school
>There's like 10 girls there
>I don't like the movie that was on the tv so I go On Demand and turn on Super Gals! and Saiyuki
>Make everyone watch it
>Everyone's supposed to go to sleep
>I brought manga and stay up later than everyone else to read it.

Granted, I usually read to put myself asleep and surprisingly I was invited to this same sleep over every year for like 4 years or something and it eventually turned into novels. How the fuck was I invited to these things. Also looking back on this all, it kind of sucks how much of a struggle it was to fit in with normie peers just because our interests were so different. At least everyone had DDR in common.

This is me, my cystic acne just came out of the blue, and was painful even though none of my problems were topical. It made my skin look like applesauce and very swollen. Then it started to come up, and hurt a lot less but wrecked me emotionally. I was a terrible mess and became very anxious to go out in public. Quite honestly the most horrible year of my life.

>middle school
>friend is an ita newbie loli weaboo
>she's wearing some pseudo jfashion hot topic loli mashup
>group of kids make fun of her everyday
>some black kid comes up and shoves her out of the school yard and into the parking lot
>schoolbus almost hits her
>I pick the twerp up, throw him to the ground, and beat the shit out of him
>stunned silence
>one of his crew tries to help
>i punch her in the face
>teachers come and drag us all to the office. we all go in one at a time to tell what happens
>black kids call in every single one of their crew and they all lie
>i just say what happens and refuse to bring in any of my friends to back up my story since i don't want to get any of them in trouble. (all my friends were shy, socially inept weebs)
>Teachers wind up siding with me since even though it was my word against them, I was a model student on multiple sports teams and they were all frequent fliers for discipline
>They get suspended and I get an early morning detention, that I wound up being the only one on time for by a whole hour
>Teacher lets me read Harry Potter, gives me candy, and lets me go early while all the other kids are stuck there

And that's the story how I gained the respect of all the black kids in my school. Apparently being able to beat one or two of them in a fight gives you instant street cred? It honestly kind of stuns me at how better my middle school handled a fight like that, compared to how my high school handled it. Fighting in highschool, it didn't even matter what exactly happened and why, everyone involved instantly gets suspended and Saturday School
