remember when you were younger?

9th grade: Moved yet again. This time, I was in a really sh'tty town. African Americans everywhere, note, I'm not racist, I've just had bad experiences with them more than white folks at the time. Anyways, here's when sh't turned WRONG. I started hanging around gamers that did drugs. I of course, refused to smoke anything. At this point, every day going home was pretty much a can of beer. I sorta started dressing really goth.. except I prefered camou pants.

This reminds me of something in middle school. During lunch, id usually go out and play basketball, and Id have to give my school ID to get the ball out. One day, after getting the ball out, i was sitting there, just shooting the ball by myself, when this group of black kids come up to me tellin me to give them the ball and to leave (this is in a small desert town where the school was basically split 75% black 15% white 10% other. Aka, outnumbered). I told them no and then one of them wanted to fight me, who was one of the kids id have lots of trouble with at this school. So he got up in my face, and im sitting there staring at him, and I say "ya know what, im not fighting you, your crosseyed, it wouldnt even be a fair fight" and started walking away. 2 seconds later, im hit 3 times on the side of the face (rather weak considering he was the one starting the fight). So, i slowly turn around, and before i could say or do anything, the PE teacher (on yard duty at the time) tackles the kid.

The whole ~2 years I spent at that middle school sucked. One other incident worth noting was when another kid (this time a white guy) threatened to stab me with a butter knife in ceramics class, and the teacher and principle didnt do anything about it. This along with the whole overall area we were in was why instead of going to highschool out there, I went and took college classes for both highschool and college credits after middle school.
