This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

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.

[–] basmati@lemmus.org 52 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] humblebun@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 weeks ago

Virgin-chad dialectic. The meaning is stripped from this word

[–] WeLoveCastingSpellz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

is it even legal not to be virgin at 15

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago

In most places, yeah

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

13 appears to be the youngest, as long as the older partner is within a certain age range to the younger.

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

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 27 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It is when you're 15 and surrounded by other 15 year olds who think it's a bad thing.

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Right, peer pressure is a helluva drug

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Mix in teenage assholery, toxic masculinity, and puberty hormones, and you've got a mf Jeffrey on your hands

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 29 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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?

[–] phorq@lemmy.ml 25 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Flatfire@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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.

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Flatfire@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] phorq@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Flatfire@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] Irremarkable@fedia.io 2 points 2 weeks ago

This was precisely how it worked for the ACT at my high school

[–] djsoren19@yiffit.net 26 points 2 weeks ago

Fake and gay! This is definitely the start to some steamy yaoi fic on OP's desktop.

[–] spacecadet@lemm.ee 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This is the start of some weird fantasy isn’t it?

There are many like her, but this one is mine.

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.

[–] Arsecroft@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] pigup@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

"Don't worry scro'! There are plenty of 'tards out there living really kick ass lives."

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Given the shit I saw in school, I'm surprised it wasn't a trick. Gotta go with fake.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago

Also gay, chad like him

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ehh I was pretty uncool in high school but a couple of the popular girls seemed to honestly try to extend olive branches towards me multiple times

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

There are popular kids with souls.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Honestly, it was never the popular kids who I had trouble with in school. They were mostly cordial fellows.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Literally everyone has a soul, stop feeding into this false dichotomy of popular kids versus nerds.

[–] wormer@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

"Chad" is really making a come back. Or has it been so long now the younger gen is picking it up?

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 points 2 weeks ago

It's been a thing for quite a while.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

yeah i got out of that mess and went to work without looking back
