    Okay, guys, I need brony help, so I figured this would be the place to start. I posted a comment on my new school's Class of 2016 page seeing if there were any bronies at the school. Unfortunately, there's this one person who keeps making rather mocking comments. How do I get him to shut up once and for all?

      @thatonepony @canterlot yeah, high school admin is all about reinforcing the idea students should lay down, passively accept abuse, and the idea of doing anything to stand up for themselves is wrong.

      @thatonepony which of course, is logic that stays behind when you leave High School. If someone is offending me and, surprise, I get offended, High School logic says I should be the heel of the exchange. It doesn't sound like he posted anything fanatical by any means so he shouldn't be viewed in the wrong for being too obsessed or one-minded, which I can see happening. If you casually bring stuff up and people act outrageous, they'll look stupid for mocking you. But if you're bringing your hobbies to the level of religion or more, the mocker will be raised to hero status.

      @thatonepony goes back to how the kiddies are when they're in High School and fresh out of school is not so much better. It's like being crammed in a box for years, you come out of it shaped like a box and it takes time to stretch out into your natural form. I socializedd very little in High School, quickly seeing how people would use the dumbest most trivial things as fodder to verbally attack me. But staying silent and speaking with only four or so peers turned me into some sort of strangely-perceived guru in senior year. Like, because I never visibly associated with anyone, everyone assumed I was a font of secrets and knowledge. This mostly resulted in me doing the majority of work in group projects, as the teammates would beg me to dig them out of the hole they were never really in.
