I did tend to do most of the work, but then the others would do more of the presentation since I was so awkward back then and couldn't do them very well lol.

MadDewg 08/15/19 4:45:26 PM #18:	Thankfully no one cared where I was at. (Went to some average middle and highschool in south carolina). I have heard stories from friends up north (in new jersey specifically) on how they had to deal with the "acting white" BS from their peers though. From the talks we used to have about our highschool experiences, they gave me the impression that going to an inner city school in new jersey was god awful. (I mean yeah, a lot of us grew up seeing films like lean on me, but you can expect a movie to exaggerate things at times. Its a whole other perspective to hear it straight from a friend's mouth or something like that where they are like "yeah, our schools were that shitty like in leon on me"). --- GTag:XlX Zoro XlX PSN:lMadDogg NNID:xMadDoggx I bet my left nut on bloodstained ritual of the night being awesome...I like my left nut IGA, come through for me. <cite>MadDewg posted [p:926113135] in Back when ...
