Well, if it makes you feel any better, I rarely post here, and I didnt even come into this thread with any preconcieved notions about you, and just from reading your paper I labeled you a psycho.

This is hardly an exaggeration. The same reason that people can be assholes on the internet is the same reason we can be completely honest with you on the internet. Honesty has its downfalls if there's a name attached. Here, it's just an avatar and a nick.
I didn't go to my Senior Prom.
Though I did go to my Junior Prom, and Senior Winter Formal...
P.S. I don't consider you pscyho or anything is wrong with you. You sound like a teenager, which you are. I was like that at times... heck I was like that often in college. It's true that you'll get over those feelings in a few years also though. But I'm not going to tell you to grow up or anything. Theres A LOT of old, bitter folk here on ATOT who think they were perfect little angels when they were young for some reason.
You'll look back often and go "damn what the hell was I thinking?!" God knows I have.
Meh, that's life and a part of growing up.

Meh, that's life and a part of growing up.I don't know you at all, idNut. I don't really associate anything with you or your prior posts just because I don't read all that much from any specific person.
You have emotional problems. You are a good writer and you wouldn't have posted it here unless you wanted people to think something about you. You probably posted it so people would commend your individuality and your writing skill but that didn't happen and now you're pissed. There are people like you in every high school and we all knew them and didn't give two sh!ts abotut them either.
The world is what you make of it. If you go into college thinking like you wrote iny our paper, inevitably you'll have problems. The bigger of a school you go to, the less people will care about you, it's the big-city mentality all over again. If you want people to like you then YOU need to be outgoing, they just won't come to you - it doesn't work that way for anyone. And it's not healthy to think like you do, if your paper is how you truly feel. See a psych.

Because its a hell of a lot easier to call someone a freak over the internet than to do it to their face. Pity gets in the way.
Seriously dude, take it easy! Now youre being delusional about being delusional.

Speak for yourself. There are human beings on the internet, as you might occasionally find elsewhere, if you know where to look.
Nice essay, fine choice, and your reasoning, as it needs be justified by nobody else, is sufficient unto itself. Prom isn't anything special (went to one with my then-boyfriend, as I didn't go to high school) and I think your essay takes a step back and criticizes people and their attitudes towards it fairly, since it does seem to be a step back and not the defining issue of your life, nor an absolute in the way you see people at large.
I hope you find an awesome book to read on prom night. May I suggest (in good part because I think it's ATOT's most hated book, and in part because it's awesome) "Wuthering Heights"?

Dickinson supposedly kept herself in her room for an extended period of time, and was most likely extremely depressed at the time of writing that poem you cited, since most of her poetry on death was written after the deaths of many of her friends.
Edit: To clarify, much of Dickinson's poetry was not published until after her death, and most of it was undated, so I can only speculate. Still, comparing yourself to Emily Dickinson suggests superior writing ability (which you have) but not stability.
I know all about Dickinson as well as the meaning of that poem and locked away in her room and depressed or not, it means something to me and I think it proves a very good point.
it's better to regret something you did do rather than regret something you didn't do. life is full of wonderful experiences, and you just missed one of them.
Your writing is way, way too blustery and dramatic. Tone it down. Your essay is much too self-important.
I'm sorry you feel so angsty, though. Just don't let people get to you with their questions.

diddnt read the post. but humans are social animals. and we need others... ill leave it at that.
I'll definitely agree with this response. I did notice this and I've been trying to correct it. But for God's sake will you all stop using the word 'angst' so much?
"It's been five minutes now of me denying and insisting and things may turn violent if they don't retreat or concede."
You are very disturbed emotionally. Even just skimming the nonsense you wrote leaves me with the feeling that you need professional help.

What? I read the poem then I understood it and I hold it true because I can see where she was coming from.
Then why are you still coming here? Masochistic tendencies? If you know well enough the reaction a piece like this will engender amongst us, why on earth would you bother with it in the first place, let along bitch about the results?
www.urbandictionary.com sums it up nicely
angst
1.What often teenage feel in their strugle to claim their individuality, often terminates with the coming of adulthood when they understand that they always were just another number in the mass of the faceless mediocrity.
For the record, I've been seeing a psychologist for three years now and he's diagnosed me with major depression. As far as violence is concern, I'm not violent at all. I never raise my voice, never hit people out of rage and that line was written to dramatize the situation, not accurately describe my character. Yes I seeth from people being so damned thick-headed but I don't ever get physical.

Does anybody here comprehend the fact that writers, particularly in a piece like this, tend to assume a character? Not that the character includes ideas, thoughts, or feelings that the author doesn't have, but that those are presented in a fashion that aren't exactly literal? In keeping in the spirit in which this piece was written, you guys are WAY overreacting to what he wrote. I mean, come on. Disturbed, needing counseling? He wrote a freaking essay describing how stupid he thinks his peers and their rituals are. A fair portion of you probably agree that your peers in high school were pretty dang stupid. You may not have phrased it like he did, but he was in a certain position, using a certain medium, that you didn't share.
Get over yourselves already.
