A bit off topic here, but the reason teenage boys do all this crap is to impress girls. Thats why i did it. However, i found that the better girls (not the easy, chavvy sl*gs) liked me more after i'd chilled out, and started respecting people in authority positions.
I know. I think my mother is lying about my D.O.B. I listen to radio 2, i hate modern music, and i'm disillusioned with the modern world, classic mid forties traits. My friends keep telling me that i have the mental age of a 40 year old.
I don't think I did it for girls. I knew that doesn't really impress them. We did it as a competition between friends. Who can make the teacher cry, Who can be sent out the class the quickest etc.
But schoolies that smoked where easy, those where the one's to impress and they liked the bad boys! Real 'teenage' Men like schoolies that smoke. Getting into bother and doing stupid things is part of growing up it seems stupid now but at the time it was different, it was magic infact I loved it.
I hold the school record for getting thrown out of class the quickest. I went into an RE lesson, shouted "God doesn't exist" and was promptly thrown out. it took about 5 seconds. Because i'm an ugly bugger,i had to try and be funny to impress the girls. Now i just be polite and courteous to them, and it works far better.
So I should have acted like a **** to get girls? To show that I'm not gay... That's a weird theory you have going Really? That's easy, we tried that many times and she just learned to ignore us.
When I was 15 I liked any lassie that would let me touch them, I'm sure 99.9% where the same. In fact I think 99.9% are still the same.
