The Story of Angus

The story of Angus might sound familiar to you. First of all, Angus is a movie. Like most movies, you can always find in some way how your life is related.

Angus is a teenager who is successful in science and at football. Since entering school in kindergarten, until his present day, Angus has constantly been picked on and the source of bullying by the school "jock," Rick. Angus is described as overweight, ugly, and socially awkward. He has one other friend who falls into the same essential category. As all teenagers, Angus has a crush. Not just any girl, this is the girl of his dreams, Melissa. Unfortunately for Angus, Melissa is going out with Rick and Angus has a fear of expressing his feelings due to that. Tired of the constant abuse and harassment's, Angus applies to a magnet school in where he hopes he can be free of the abuse and bullying and away from Rick forever. Rick finds out and rigs the Winter dance so that Angus can dance with Melissa but only to embarrass him. When Angus confronts Rick about his plan to embarrass him, the school principal informs Angus to not lay a hand on Rick or else he will be expelled.

Sad isn't it? I, like most of you could probably relate to some or all of this story. In High School, I was not looking forward to going to school every single day. I counted down the minutes for the bell to ring at 3:00 every single day of the week. I took advantage of my weekends and kept to myself. Upon graduating from high school, it took me about a year and half to open up in college and find out who I am as a person. Do I regret the decisions I made to not take any action in High School? No. Do I wish that I could go back in time to take action and see what my life could have become? No. For some people, like myself, it took me a while to figure out who I am as a person. I look back on the times in high school now and only hope that my enemies then have better lives now and changed for the better.

This blog will give real life examples, stories, and issues that teenagers can face throughout their middle and high school years that define them as who they are in the future.
