thinking about people like dr. malcolm from jurassic park

ok, so this is something that's been on my mind ever since i started 8th grade (yes, i'm a kid). i'm naturally a very kind and gentle person, probably because i'm used to taking care of my siblings. that doesn't necessarily mean i always do the right thing tho; i mess up a lot. anyways, i think there's something wrong with the air in my school. and i know it can't be in the water because nobody drinks from the fountains unless they have to fill up their water bottle.

it's the negativity in the air. everyone in school is just so... stressed. not like stress over schoolwork, stress when it comes to other people. and it isn't only students either, teachers are stressed as well. i can understand being stressed with other things, but what i don't understand is being disrespectful about it. teachers are so tired of telling the same students to follow the rules. some kids are finally getting off the ineligible list (which is great, but it's weird it took them so long). we had an assembly on vaping yesterday. it was such a good assembly and it was very informative. the kids i thought wouldn't care actually listened. but why did it take an assembly to put them in their place?

speaking of putting them in their place, some kids are just rude for no apparent reason. that's the thing i was thinking about today. we were watching jurassic park in science class and i was already upset that the teacher kept PAUSING THE MOVIE TO EXPLAIN THE THING THE CHARACTER WAS LITERALLY GONNA SAY NEXT. but throughout the entire time we spent watching the movie, all i could hear from my science partner and another kid in the back row with us, was "they're gonna get eaten," "the kids are gonna die," "that t. rex is gonna kill them." oh my god SHUT UP. SHUT UUUUUUPPP. STOP BEING SO PESSIMISTIC. JUST WATCH THE GOSHDARN MOVIE.

and guess what? those same two kids constantly going back and forth saying how everyone's gonna die are like this all the time. every single time i see them, they're either threatening their friends or using every profanity in a single sentence. i'm so sick of it. i can think of so many other people like that. it irks me to no end. and the worst part is that they're proud of it. i will never understand people who admit to having a horrible personality and do nothing about it. to them it's just like mentioning how nice the weather is. but once they mention it, the weather turns groggy.

this also applies to people who never say anything good about themselves. my other science partner is this kid who switches up faster than a nintendo. he talks too much, sometimes about nothing at all. if he's feeling intrusive of everyone's personal space, it's strange biology facts. when he realizes he's quite the opposite of funny, he goes to another form of "humor." self-deprecating humor. it's the most obnoxious thing in the world. if he's not telling you that ducks have corkscrew-shaped... 😧... he's calling himself a polished turd. he ran for student president and on his poster he wrote "I have no idea what I'm doing!" and at the end of his speech, he said "I'm a nobody, and nobody's perfect, therefore I'm perfect!" when i asked him why, he said "it's to show that I'm not afraid of losing, but I'm afraid of not winning." whatever that means. he's also kinda mean when it comes to the project we're trying to do for the school newspaper but that's different. and i'm pretty sure i covered his whole deal in this paragraph.

and that, my friends, is why i despise ian malcolm.
