Some spots opened up in [name of professor redacted]’s class and I was able to swap into it!!!
In seventh grade, there was this girl in my class that was convinced that I was dating a tenth grader -- not any specific tenth grader, just one of them. One day, she saw me talking to another student (actually a ninth grader, but she didn’t know that).
She then came up to me and said something to the effect of, “Suuuure you aren’t dating a tenth grader. I saw you and him talking in the hallway, obviously you must be dating.”
“That doesn’t even make sense!” I said. “By that logic, you and I are dating, since we’re in the hallway and talking right now. Since we aren’t, there is clearly a flaw in your reasoning.”
Someone in my class overheard this and decided that this meant that she and I were actually dating.
This girl, who at the time was rather homophobic, was extremely bothered by this rumor, and vehemently denied it. This only served to convince our classmates that it was true.
In the end, the rumor stopped spreading because people became convinced I was dating a different person instead.

Yes, it is true that many of them involved relationships. However, there is a subtle difference between attacking someone for not dating you, attacking someone who is dating you, and attacking your ex.
Nevertheless, you’re absolutely right that all of these are terrible and that stereotyping women as less violent than men only makes things worse.
shocking
baby ginny sitting herself down in professor lupin’s office hours with her eyebrows furrowed and lupin’s like “shit” bc ginny is an excellent student and very observant and contrary and less likely to take shit than even hermione granger and is rather reminiscent of other red-haired gryffindor women he has known
“i know you’re a werewolf,” she blurts
“oh?” he says though he is thinking shit shit shit shit shit
“yes, and I don’t care,” she says forcefully
“oh?” he says again, though he is carefully not feeling anything
“yeah, I know what it’s like to be possessed by something evil. it doesn’t make you evil,” she says
If you do not reblog this, you are in fact lying.
I’ve got bad news...
Do I smell a plot twist?

You can't really say for all of American students how much homework they get, I'd also rephrase that bc it sounds like you're saying they're at fault for doing what kids do which is explore their world and learn through social interactions. Today it includes social media and Netflix and it may not be the best use of their time but most teens can't function the same way as adults.
Right, that’s why I tried to qualify it by saying “at most schools.” My school is known for giving a lot of homework, and that’s largely what I’m basing my observations off of since I don’t spend that much time with people at other schools. (Other American high school students are welcome to chime in here! I don’t claim to speak for everyone.)
You may be right that it sounds like I’m blaming them. If you have suggestions for rephrasing feel free to send me them.
