GEEZ! Your are such an Idiot! You totally stink! I mean just dropping your

Number two, if you think this story sucks, why did you read it and even bother to review it?
Number three, if you review again, please tell me what's wrong with my story. I know I'm not a good writer so you don't need to tell me.
THE STORY
May-Lin yawned as they trekked through the forest. Some students had been woken at five am just so they could go abseiling and have plenty of spare time for the rest of the day. Which was pretty stupid as it was just unnecessary to wake up at such an early hour.
The titans and Kate were among these students. Not to mention, Suzanna.
They had walked four kilometres.
"Okay team" Frank said, "We can keep to the dirt track or we can cut through the bush and shrub."
"And you think that we would want to cut through the bush and shrub why exactly?" Sapphire asked.
"Because if we continued on the dirt track; we'd have to walk another ten kilometres before we reached the abseiling spot. If we cut through the bush; it'd take about twenty minutes" Frankenstein explained.
"We're cutting through the bush" Raven said quickly.
She didn't want to waste her life by walking long distances.
They started walking through the bush. It only reached their ankles at first but then the vegetation like bushes were up to their waists.
While it was only reaching their ankles, Kate was avoiding stepping on the vegetation and when it reached their waists she clung onto Raven; who was doing the smart thing and flying.
As soon as they reached a clearing, Frank yelled at Raven and started lecturing her how using powers on camp showed she didn't have any camp spirit and so on.
While he was doing this, he passed around harnesses. This was the abseiling spot after all.
There was a ring firmly stuck in a large nearby rock. Robin looked over the edge to see that the abseil went down a long way and it was very high. There was a gorge way beneath them.
He smirked. This would be no challenge for him.
A short while later
"I am NOT going abseiling!" Raven said, trying hard not to raise her voice, "I don't do harnesses. I can already fly. Why would I want to?"
Frank continued to persuade her and finally left saying, "Well if you're too chicken…"
Raven didn't care. Insults couldn't penetrate her.
Sapphire sat down beside her and they watched Robin abseil. He was in the bottom in seconds. Once again, he was trying to prove he was fearless.
Cyborg took a fair amount longer than Robin; he wasn't agile and this was a new experience to him. He had never really left the ground before.
As soon as Cyborg had finished, some arguing started.
"You are so stupid! I can't BELIEVE you were stupid enough to touch a snake and believe it was your friend! You IDIOT!" Suzanna pointed at Starfire and laughed.
"You are not being very nice. Please stop your insults" Starfire looked as if she was going to cry.
Raven stood up.
"Suzanna, stop it. Do you realise how immature you sound?" Raven asked.
Raven was quite a few centimetres shorter than most girls in the year. However, she was a head shorter than Suzanna.
Suzanna lowered herself down a bit, mocking Raven's height.
Raven quickly and sharply slapped Suzanna.
Suzanna gaped and walked away, waving a hand behind her, saying "See you, bitches!"
Everyone sat back down and nothing interesting happened until May-Lin was going to abseil.
"It's alright May-Lin, just ease yourself backwards into the air and…kind of…jump" Frank tried to coax.
May-Lin eventually ran back to the group, crying.
The titans and Kate huddled around her.
"I just couldn't do it. It was too high. I just couldn't do it" May-Lin shook her head, tears running down her face, "You guys must think really low of me to be afraid of heights…"
"No" Beast Boy comforted, "Everyone's afraid of something..."
Suddenly, Kate burst out laughing.
"What's so funny!" May-Lin felt insulted, thinking Kate was laughing at her.
"Oh, nothing. It's just when I'm sad I usually imagine strange things" Kate explained, "I was feeling sad because you were sad so I imagined these little blue elves dancing a random Egyptian dance on that small rock over there singing 'Rigata! Rigata!'"
Kate displayed the dance she saw the elves doing and the titans all agreed it was very funny; in a random way.
May-Lin was happier, no doubt.
On the bushwalk back… (You know the thing that cuts ten kilometres)
"And we'll fight…for bovine freedom…and run free…with the buffalo" Beast Boy and May-Lin sang.
Raven was trying to shove some leaves into her ears; as a substitute for ear plugs.
Starfire was glaring at the shrub around her; ready to kill any snakes that came out. After the bite and Suzanna's taunting, she hated the animal.
Robin hugged her. He was worried about her. Starfire smiled as a response.
May-Lin was watching Kate, who was once again avoiding stepping on any plants.
"What ARE you doing?" May-Lin asked her.
"Well..." Kate started, "I love plants. A lot. Enough to be bothered to avoid stepping on them. Enough to not eat anything that comes from plants and enough to only eat meat and have to eat those yucky vitamin tablets."
"So, basically you are saying that you are the exact opposite of a vegan?"
"Yeah."
"I like you" Cyborg said, "You are smarter than these two…vegans!"
"I like you too. You can actually see that meat is better than that garbage they call tofu!" Kate said.
"Hey! Stop being prejudice against us!" Beast Boy complained.
"Fine, fine…" Kate and Cyborg sighed and Cyborg joined Kate in avoiding stepping on plants.
Beast Boy and May-Lin felt hurt that their friends were being prejudice against them, but they snickered. Cyborg and Kate were perfect for each other. So they decided that they needed to act soon so they could put their mission "Mission: C + K" into action.
Starfire started talking.
"It is my day of birth in three days." Starfire said with glee.
"Cool." Robin replied.
Way Later
After having dinner outside, Frank told everyone their nightly activity, outside, by a campfire.
"Today's nightly activity will be LOADS OF FUN. The reason why we ate outside tonight is because we have set up a stereo, karaoke, stage, disco ball and those different coloured lights for a dance. You've probably been to loads of dances before but this is DIFFERENT. YOU HAVE A THEME. There are two themes each of you can choose from. Silly or Kindergarten. NO GOTHS OR NORMAL OR FANCY DRESSING." Frank said.
Most people cheered at the opportunity to do something that was remotely civilized and that was actually ELECTRONIC.
Raven and Sapphire, however, just groaned.
