High school is a weird adventure. It’s filled with people
you would call a dunce, a Charleston or maybe even a sycophant.
Nonetheless, you still have to go and just deal with these people. This leads
to making strategies for how to avoid to put up with them. Firstly, you might plummet
yourself into acting nice to them if/when you run into them but think them as nefarious.
If they ever did something rude or mean to you, might become vindictive
and think you’re doing them a favor for doing just one bad thing to them
instead of a lot of bad things. Although, that plan might backfire, the person
you got back at might tell on you to someone to vindicate himself as a form of
getting the last laugh.
Of course, all these things of ‘dealing’ with a sycophant
will probably just lead you to disliking them even more. This is a very
pernicious cycle. You don’t like them, they hurt you, you become vindictive,
and they get to vindicate, you get mad, and the cycle is complete and
repeats. The only way to get yourself out of this vicious cycle is to let it go. Not sing the song, but
actually let go of the dislike and ignore them.
