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.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Wisdom is knowing when to say "fuck it" to save yourself the pain.

In fourth grade we would read short stories and answer multiple-choice questions about them. One such story was about romantically involved terrapins, and the question was "What would be a good title for this story?" The answers included

a) A turtle love story

b) Two turtles in love

I don't remember which one I picked but the correct answer was the other one.

School really does prepare you for real life sometimes, it seems ...

Never stop fighting their lies

"youre not supposed to know that yet" then why in fucks name did you ask lady?

Failed a high school required class because I have poor writing abilities. (I word good.. just my penmanship is trash)

Literally got a 0 on a midterm because the teacher "couldn't read my writing"

Crap like the green text and my high school experience is why parents need to be involved in a child's education.

thats been 30 years ago.. I'm still bitter. But it'll make me a better father to school aged kids
