    Where are the other kids getting tampons to throw at him?

    15 year old virgin

    Aren’t most 15-year-olds virgins? I went to a weird high school where the SAT-prep kids would have made fun of the PE kids, so I don’t know what normal teenagers are like.

      Median age in the US for losing virginity is 18.4, while 15 is young, around 10-15% of surveyed populations consistently have lost their virginity by 15. That being said public school culture is to claim you banged some foreign chick at camp at 13 to brag so 15 year olds that don’t lie might be confused.

        When do kids in the US go to university, because I would have thought that would be the main time for it. Away from your parents for the first time, eventually having your own accommodation for the first time.

        Although maybe the fact in the US drinking isn’t allowed until 21 would have some effect, because I’m pretty sure that alcohol was initially what made me so attractive.

          In the US you usually graduate high schoolduring spring at 18, and most people that go on to college will take a break over the summer before starting in autumn

        I learned way too quickly who the posers were and who wasn’t after I started messing around with a girl in highschool. It was very eye opening realizing that very few of my classmates had gotten anywhere near even just a romantic/sexual connection with someone of their preferred gender

    Think part of the problem is that this emotionally immature individual thinks that been 15 and a virgin is a bad thing.

    Why the fuck are you not doing PE because of Pre SAT? Since when is a college placement exam an exemption from Physical Education? Am I missing something?

      It was probably on a Friday and testing probably was happening Saturday morning and they were busy setting up the gym with tables for check-in or possibly desks for testing directly in the large room rather than individual classrooms. Most schools don’t have an abundance of large spaces and one has to be sacrificed.

        Schools in the US have tests on Saturdays? We don’t really have an equivalent to SATs here in Canada, but I figured it was just a summary exam or something you took like anything else.

          No, it’s not a mandated test or anything. It’s basically a college entrance exam.

          Schools are often used to hold the tests because they’re already equipped to handle it. But, the tests can be hosted at different locations.

            Makes sense. I’ve always heard about it being taken a while before finishing highschool so I figured it was engrained in that curriculum.

          SATs and Pre-SATs (just practice SATs) are optional and not part of the curriculum (literally run by a private, albeit non-profit, company). While it’s not required you take it, good luck getting into college without an SAT score, and most high-schools have dates you can pay/register and come in to take the test.

            Wild. We just have pre-requisite courses that typically qualify you for University programs. You overall grades matter, but there’s nothing like an SAT

              In the UK you have to do two additional years of education in order to be able to go to university. We call those two additional years college, just to be confusing.

      If some weird ass marketing intern at Kraft managed to get funding to advertise on 4chan, or lemmy via 4chan through a screenshot, then said marketing intern deserves our attention and respect. If all ads were like this I wouldn’t have had ad blockers on all my devices for the last twenty years.

        maybe, but theres a logo for a large brand prominently displayed and the greentext reads like the screenplay for a 90s tv commercial.

        It might not have been created specifically to be an ad, but it does all the things an ad does.

        I went to school with some pretty terrible people that did some horrendous shit without cause. Honestly, the fact they are in society is pretty concerning.

        Yeah the popular kids were always perfectly pleasant. Once I got attractive and learned how to act they interacted with me more, but even before then they weren’t mean.

        It was the fellow losers who bullied me. Looking back it’s honestly amusing how much it wasn’t about nerds vs jocks or anything like that. The biggest social division aside from minor cliquiness based on interests was who was pleasant to be around vs who wasn’t. Though attractiveness really did help as I learned.

        Popular people in my experience are genuinely nice people, which makes sense because who doesn’t want to know more nice people
