Held back

This kid just found out that he'll be repeating the 8th grade for the third year in a row.

In a couple weeks school kids will be getting their final report cards. Some kids will be disappointed when they find out that they’ll be repeating the same grade in the fall. If these kids weren’t on Myspace, Facebook, or Twitter all night, maybe they would be moving on to the next grade. Oh well!
There was nothing worse on the last day of school than finding out you’ve been left back. I’ve never been left back before, but I have friends who have been. I have friends right now who are still in elementary school. They’re still learning their ABC’s. I have one friend who’s been left back so many times in high school, he has a son right now who’s in the same grade with him.
Kids were mean in school. They would make fun of the kid who got left back every time they saw him. I felt sorry for the kid. We were in the fourth grade and he was still in kindergarten.
There was one time in the third grade when I was almost held back. The teacher told me on the last day of school that I was missing homework and I would have to repeat the third grade again. I was panicking. I didn’t want to go home and tell my parents that I was getting left over. My dad would beat my ass if I ever came home and told him that. So, in a desperation move, I went and had a one on one talk with Mrs. Wauters after school. No one was around and the classroom was empty. It was only me and Mrs. Wauters. So then I pulled a condom out of my pocket and had sex with her. After that, she changed her mind and passed me over to the next grade.
