A student blows up at a teacher, drops the F-bomb. The usual approach at Lincoln – and, safe to say, at most high schools in this country – is automatic suspension. Instead, Sporleder sits the kid down and says quietly: “Wow. Are you OK? This doesn’t sound like you. What’s going on?”
He gets even more specific: “You really looked stressed. On a scale of 1-10, where are you with your anger?” The kid was ready. Ready, man! For an anger blast to his face….”How could you do that?” “What’s wrong with you?”…and for the big boot out of school. But he was NOT ready for kindness.
The armor-plated defenses melt like ice under a blowtorch and the words pour out: “My dad’s an alcoholic. He’s promised me things my whole life and never keeps those promises.” The waterfall of words that go deep into his home life, which is no piece of breeze, end with this sentence: “I shouldn’t have blown up at the teacher.” Whoa.

Bam. Kids “misbehave” for actual, real, valid reasons. And have feelings.

Dear Creepy People,
“Submissive” is not synonymous to “easy sex.” The quicker you learn this, the better.
Most of us actually have standards. You probably don’t make the cut if you think that “submissive” means that we’ll suck your dick the second you “order” us to.
Please go educate yourself. Or just accept that your hand is going to be the closest thing to sex that you’ll be getting for a while.
With love,
SubmissiveDreamer
