h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

This has to end.

LW the logical thing to do, would be to wait until one post has been cleared by the mods before posting another.

There was once this kid, let's call him Lionel, who had to change schools because he was excluded from his last school, despite giving him several warnings, and suspensions for repeated bad behaviour. So, Lionel starts his new school, but yet still conducts himself in the same manner that got him expelled from his last school. Never the less, the kids at this new school were a friendly bunch, and tried many and varied ways to gently guide him into behaving in an appropriate and acceptable manner. Lionel was ok with this, but only up to a point, as long as all the other kids played his games, to his rules. Needless to say, the other kids didn't like it when Lionel was obnoxious and rude to them, or gatecrashed their games or conversations and insisted they play 'his' way or no way atall. When the other kids objected to this behaviour, Lionel would run to tell the teachers all the other kids were being mean and picking on him. When the teachers addressed the other kids, and asked them to be patient with Lionel as he was new and maybe wasn't as good at making friends as he could be, Lionel stood in front of the teacher with that 'I've just grassed on you lot and the teacher's on my side now' look on his face. However, Lionel was also given a number of warnings from the teachers for some of his more obvious bad behaviour.
Lionel kept his head down for a little while, and attempted to curry favour with a couple of kids and make friends, meanwhile, sneaky little Lionel, would go off to various other parts of the playground to wind the other kids up, but would always make sure he'd removed any evidence of his little visits. Then, when the other kids came over to Lionel's part of the playground to tell him to wind his neck in, he'd holler again to his friends and teachers that he was being unfairly victimised and bullied,
The saddest thing about all this, is not just that Lionel needlessly alienated himself from an entire group of people that could have quite possibly become valued and useful friends to him, but the saddest thing infact, is that Lionel refused to accept that he was in any way responsible for his own actions and the bad feeling he himself created, and clearly never learned from having been expelled from his first school for exactly the same behaviour. Silly Lionel!
