I used to make this argument when I was in school, because it seemed like private school kids were super weird and closeted.

No, actually, we're the freaks. They were protected from us. I know that now.

Michael Malice put it very well. Paraphrasing: "How are you going to claim that High School is where kids learn to socialize, when 'acting like your still in high school' is a slur in adult hood?"
