omg when people hate teachers y do they have to go and make a fuckingg myspace group or facebook group about it? its not even funny because i know if i were the teacher i would find it soo embarassing and totally heart breaking.
im really upset right now because one of my teachers who was just kinda cool b/c he let us get away with so much stuff ACTUALLY has one of those dumbass, whiny-kid hate groups on myspace and there are stupid pictures of him and everything and all the kids are like whining "OMG HE FAILED ME CUZ HE IS RACIST" how stupid is that?? first of all the guy who complained and my teacher are both white! i think teenagers these days are so lazy and dumb and really are just too self centered. and the worst part is the group was created by somebody that i thought was pretty nice and i wanted to be friends with her. now i found out she's just as judgmental as the rest.
high school is so depressing.
anyway my ranting is over..i just need some advice to deal with this.

And I think that's the main problem with some teenagers these days. I mean, how many kids do you know who have failed a grade and had to be held back? Probably not too many. Because schools are so afraid of harming a kid's "self-esteem" or dealing with angry parents, they do whatever they can to make even the worst students "feel good about themselves." Everything is handed to them without having to work for it.
And a lot of parents aren't much better. They think their kids are brillant and perfect... so if they get a bad grade or get in trouble at school, it certainly can't be the kid's fault... it must be the teacher! And the kids have the same attitude.
So when a teacher actually tells it like it is, everyone thinks he's a jerk.
If I were you, I'd send an anonymous note to the principal or councelor and let them know about that myspace, and tell them who's running it. It won't change the students' attitude toward the teacher, but at least it might get the myspace shut down. Because you're right... it'd be horrible for a teacher to see something like that.

If this really bothers you though, you can go up to the teacher and show him/her the website. I'm not sure but I think that they can suspend or even expell the students for doing that. Or you can talk to your principal of the high school if you're uncomfortable talking to the teachers.
