I stand on both side of the issue. You see, here about 90% of the people are Mormons. For those who dont know (lucky bastards), Mormonism is a religion, they have an extremely holier-than-thou, extremely religious point of view. If your not mormon, you wont be saved and all this other crap. If a girls parents know your not mormon, some of them tell you to stay the heck away before I corrupt her (oh, please). And if they hear you swear.. OMG watch out, most of them will hate you. Thank god for that extra 10%, theyre mostly cool. This atmosphere has caused these two groups to grow apart and hate eachother, forming bitter cliques. But im one of the few fence-sitters. Some mormons are pretty cool if you remember not to cuss. It's so damn (oops) hard to avoid them anyway. Anyway, i think its safe to say that ALL of the cheerleaders (pretty or not) and football players are mormon. For that i dislike cheerleaders and football players im sure theyre given referential treatment. Im getting a C in racket sports (ive won a few metals in tennis for christs sake!) and the coach (football coach, no less) never has 'time' to discuss grades. So i find myself running a mile twice a week at lunch for extra credit. So i guess i hate most of them. Some are cool, but ive leanred that its not worth the time, so the mormon friends i have will stay, but the rest can go to hell.
Do we need them? Yes, theyre nice to look at in class and at the games (dont worry, i dont pay the entrance or cheer on the game, its sort of a hangout place). Theyre eye candy, but theyre bitches, so I'd suggest doing what i do, look (and maybe 'accidently' touch when your in a large croud) but dont dare talk to them. Thata all for me.
