This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Fake and gay! This is definitely the start to some steamy yaoi fic on OP's desktop.

There are popular kids with souls.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Honestly, it was never the popular kids who I had trouble with in school. They were mostly cordial fellows.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Yeah the popular kids were always perfectly pleasant. Once I got attractive and learned how to act they interacted with me more, but even before then they weren’t mean.

It was the fellow losers who bullied me. Looking back it’s honestly amusing how much it wasn’t about nerds vs jocks or anything like that. The biggest social division aside from minor cliquiness based on interests was who was pleasant to be around vs who wasn’t. Though attractiveness really did help as I learned.

Literally everyone has a soul, stop feeding into this false dichotomy of popular kids versus nerds.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Popular people in my experience are genuinely nice people, which makes sense because who doesn't want to know more nice people

Think part of the problem is that this emotionally immature individual thinks that been 15 and a virgin is a bad thing.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It is when you're 15 and surrounded by other 15 year olds who think it's a bad thing.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Right, peer pressure is a helluva drug

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Mix in teenage assholery, toxic masculinity, and puberty hormones, and you've got a mf Jeffrey on your hands

"Chad" is really making a come back. Or has it been so long now the younger gen is picking it up?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

It's been a thing for quite a while.

Why the fuck are you not doing PE because of Pre SAT? Since when is a college placement exam an exemption from Physical Education? Am I missing something?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 days ago (2 children)

It was probably on a Friday and testing probably was happening Saturday morning and they were busy setting up the gym with tables for check-in or possibly desks for testing directly in the large room rather than individual classrooms. Most schools don't have an abundance of large spaces and one has to be sacrificed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

This was precisely how it worked for the ACT at my high school

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Schools in the US have tests on Saturdays? We don't really have an equivalent to SATs here in Canada, but I figured it was just a summary exam or something you took like anything else.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

No, it's not a mandated test or anything. It's basically a college entrance exam.

Schools are often used to hold the tests because they're already equipped to handle it. But, the tests can be hosted at different locations.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Makes sense. I've always heard about it being taken a while before finishing highschool so I figured it was engrained in that curriculum.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

SATs and Pre-SATs (just practice SATs) are optional and not part of the curriculum (literally run by a private, albeit non-profit, company). While it's not required you take it, good luck getting into college without an SAT score, and most high-schools have dates you can pay/register and come in to take the test.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Wild. We just have pre-requisite courses that typically qualify you for University programs. You overall grades matter, but there's nothing like an SAT

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

In the UK you have to do two additional years of education in order to be able to go to university. We call those two additional years college, just to be confusing.

Where are the other kids getting tampons to throw at him?

15 year old virgin

Aren't most 15-year-olds virgins? I went to a weird high school where the SAT-prep kids would have made fun of the PE kids, so I don't know what normal teenagers are like.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 days ago

Virgin-chad dialectic. The meaning is stripped from this word

[–] [email protected] 50 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Median age in the US for losing virginity is 18.4, while 15 is young, around 10-15% of surveyed populations consistently have lost their virginity by 15. That being said public school culture is to claim you banged some foreign chick at camp at 13 to brag so 15 year olds that don't lie might be confused.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

I learned way too quickly who the posers were and who wasn't after I started messing around with a girl in highschool. It was very eye opening realizing that very few of my classmates had gotten anywhere near even just a romantic/sexual connection with someone of their preferred gender

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

When do kids in the US go to university, because I would have thought that would be the main time for it. Away from your parents for the first time, eventually having your own accommodation for the first time.

Although maybe the fact in the US drinking isn't allowed until 21 would have some effect, because I'm pretty sure that alcohol was initially what made me so attractive.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

In the US you usually graduate high schoolduring spring at 18, and most people that go on to college will take a break over the summer before starting in autumn

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

is it even legal not to be virgin at 15

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

13 appears to be the youngest, as long as the older partner is within a certain age range to the younger.

If some weird ass marketing intern at Kraft managed to get funding to advertise on 4chan, or lemmy via 4chan through a screenshot, then said marketing intern deserves our attention and respect. If all ads were like this I wouldn't have had ad blockers on all my devices for the last twenty years.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

maybe, but theres a logo for a large brand prominently displayed and the greentext reads like the screenplay for a 90s tv commercial.

It might not have been created specifically to be an ad, but it does all the things an ad does.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Given the shit I saw in school, I'm surprised it wasn't a trick. Gotta go with fake.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ehh I was pretty uncool in high school but a couple of the popular girls seemed to honestly try to extend olive branches towards me multiple times

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

I went to school with some pretty terrible people that did some horrendous shit without cause. Honestly, the fact they are in society is pretty concerning.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Also gay, chad like him

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This is the start of some weird fantasy isn’t it?
