"...And these children that you spit on, as they try to change their worlds, are immune to your consultations. They're quite
aware of what they are going through." - David Bowie

Dear Mr. Vernon,
We accept the fat that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. What we did
was wrong, but we think ypu're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. What do yo care? You
see us as you want to see us, right? In the simplest terms, with the most convenient definitions. You see us as a brain, an
athlete, a basket case, a princess, and a criminal, correct? That's the way we saw each other at 7 o'clock this
morning...We were brain washed.
