Not to mention you can't get away with anything because every one is either related in one way or another or they know your parents growing up.
I was once pulled over by a cop for not having my seat belt on and the FING COP knew my mom because she use to baby sit him when he was little. So he called her up and had her come give me a lecture on wearing seat belts. and I still got a ticket.
How many generations of your family are from there? Mine goes back to the first shot of Texas independence. So alot of the town is related to me. Hell the Mayor is my great uncle.
Also how big is your town, like how many people live there? Mine is 7,410 lol When I was in jr. high school we lived in a city and my schools student body was 3250 for just the 2 grades there. So you can imagine how small the town is. lol
A lot of people in my town are related, but not everyone is related of course. I don't know much about other families here, but my great grandma on my mother's side came from Germany as a child, the other side I don't really know. We have about 2000-2500 and are technically classified as a village. I had around 45 classmates.
Nerdygirlforev i mean class as in class of 2000 and class of 2001. Lmao there is no way we had that many in one classroom. It averaged about 20 to 30 kids in a classroom at a time.
I know what you meant, trust me, and we have the same amount per classroom (20-30 or it can go down to 8 or so), but we literally only have about a hundred (usually less) for a full class like you're saying ex. 2000 and 2001.
In highschool I said isn't it weird how when we win the football game there is a big announcement and all the football players and cheerleaders wear their uniforms the school day after the game. But when we lose everyone acts like there was no game and we don't even get to know the score.
The whole fucking class ganged up on me and called me names and told me to shut the fuck up. Even the teacher said shit to me. So I told on his ass and got a new classroom lol but guess what he was a distant cousin on my Mom's side so he got double trouble from my grandma.
There isn't anything necessarily wrong with it, it's just really weird. Having lived in a large town my entire life where everyone's interest were varied and no one really cared if we won or lost a game it was extremely odd and frustrating moving to a small town where everyone had the same personality and they cut class time short just so that they could hold an assembly for us to sit there and clap at the team for an hour just because they managed to throw a ball successfully.
We've never been given off because of a game, they just let the athletes leave early while everyone else is freaking out about something that's important and actually educational.
Speaking from experience, the small towns that have some kind of travel destination (Ours is the biggest lake and state recreation area in Nebraska) are the worst. During the summer we fucktuple in size(over 4th of july weekend we had a bigger population than the state capitol), are oversaturated with out of town yuppies who swear they're god's gift to small towns, and are left to deal with the fucking mess come fall. The one upside is my status as a local entitles me to make fun of all the hapless vacationers who inevitably get stuck in the sand. Still don't think I'd trade it for the city though.

There's nothing but a Walmart and Me N Eds here, and more than half the town's in gangs.
