- ... new club every month. As I got older I gained more responsibility in the clubs and organization I was involved with. This ended up in undue stress and work.

Since learning just to do it, and not to worry about the consequences I have had an easier time ... for the most part just have fun. On the brighter side of my early misfortune, the time I did not spend sporting it up, I spent hitting the books. This helped me do well in school and prepare myself aca-demically.

- 1127: Birdhouse
- ... while attending college in San Francisco, California. Beverly had never been to college and was actually being pressured by her mother not to go in the first place. It was supposed to be a good school though, even though it was a Jr. College named Chuffy. When she finally arrived in San Francisco she went straight to her cousin’s house. The whole house was painted bright colors, making it seem more fresh and new. Compared to her house, which happened to be all white! Giving the sense that it was boring and plain, which Beverly seemed to think it, was. The school was even worse… Each room was painted a dark green, while the desks where in a triangular form as if it were an elementary class. Besides the schools lack of fashion Beverly had a great time getting to know everyone. If you lived close by (which she did) you could just spend the night at home, but if not the school principles were always willing to rent dorms to those in need of them. Each dorm had a twin size bed and a nightstand right beside it. So clearly they were very small! That is ...

In the class discussion, he learns that the most degrading insult for boys is being called a "fag," because the word "fag" explains that he does not have masculine qualities. He indicates that high school students associate masculinity with "stereotypic definition of strength"(77). Yet, he shows that this strength is only a limited definition of strength because this strength is based on dominance by disgracing inferior people.

It was sometimes heavy-handed and always liable to abuse, but it seemed to serve our culture well over a long period of time. But what we have now, for ... If that guarded approach applies anywhere, moral education would seem to be the place. "The Day America Told the Truth," a 1990 survey of American beliefs and values, contains this scene from a California high school: "It's Friday afternoon and the students are leaving a class in 'social living.' The teacher's parting words are, 'have a great weekend. Be safe. Buckle up. Just say 'No'... and if you can ... cars. Sex sells clothes, alcohol and vacuum cleaners.
