Fuck their 'mental anguish', at least they're still alive to bitch about it.

I was a high school kid only 6 years ago. The program didn't scar me or teach me anything other than the value of helping out those in charge to avoid other duties. The only real trauma and mental scarring from that year was my friend who lapsed into an episode of depressive psychosis and hung himself. That also scratched off the yearly tradition of having a fake accident and hearse in the courtyard right before prom.
A few people who were involved in "whit-out" day got the point; at that time we were mostly straight edge kids (yes, I was sXe before it was cool) who agreed with the anti-drinking message. The rest of the school just screamed "feaks!" at me (the reaper) and the "victims" who painted their faces white and ignored us.
