Life after high school?

Let us purport that the onset of "school spirit" and proms may have initiated many neuroses and/or maladjustments in America. There are so many instances where people with addictions, failures, and life-long trauma blame the modern high school atmosphere with ruining their lives (and by association--the lives of others). For instance, the slightly gangly guy of moderate intelligence might feel that he can't be classified as successful unless his girlfriend is a member of the Homecoming Court,or the "she" of the previously described, is less of a person if her "man" isn't a jock.

Clearly, the muses need to assign inspiration for the upcoming generations so that they can avoid such uninspired excuses for turning into sociopaths.
