Most kids I know who are in High School spend there time quoting movie lines and using the words "Like" and "Really" every sentence. Yet Olive has the vocabulary of a Harvard Professor. If someone had that strong of a vocabulary in my High School they would have received a swift punch in the throat.
shareThat's why she's an outcast.
shareIdk what school you went too but I knew quite a few kids that were as smart as Olive. Hell I was like Olive in high school. I loved to read (still do), I was always writing short stories and I had straight A's and hell, there were kids at my school that were 10 times smarter than me. Not every teenager is a bimbo.
And I don't know where you get that she has the vocabulary of a Harvard Professor because she didn't. Everything that came out of Olive's mouth was information and vocabulary I learned in high school and even some middle school. Maybe Olive's vocabulary was good because she was actually a student that paid attention.
P.S. Kids at your school would punch kids for speaking intelligently? Well I feel sorry for the kids that went to your school considering they find intelligence a terrible quality?
Well, I'd like to know what ghetto you live in.
shareI don't really understand most USA high school films. Here in Britain most teenagers are worrying about their academic work, but in most USA high school shows it seems to be mainly about who they will take to the prom.
