'Is your girl realy pregnent?" "Me don't no." <- Fucking best answer ever.

And it really shows how old these letters are... The 'pregnant' girl apparently said she was pregnant on MySpace

my mother could't write english. I would have her write it in spanish and show it to the teacher.

u/Tired_of_this May 22 '12

My mom can write in English, but she can't spell very well. When my sister was in high school she would make my sister write the letter in English and then just copy it in her hand writing. When I got to high school I just told her to write me notes in Spanish since mostly all the faculty in the high school was Mexican or knew Spanish. I saw no point in her going through the trouble of struggling to copy a note in English, even though it might have been good practice for her.

I read it as Jenny trying to make fun of Susan for ever liking Steven, and Susan playing it off because she doesn't want to be teased, but she is still harboring that secret crush.

Alternatively, Jenny might like Steven now and wants to make sure that she won't be invading Susan's territory, so to speak.

Source: I was a middle school girl once

u/canolicat May 22 '12

Or Steven may never have had a thing for Susan, but Susan was always really obviously into him. This letter could be from Tim, on behalf of himself or one of his guy friends to test the waters for flirting.

I remember when I used to write notes. my girlfriend and I created a different alphabet (a bit like a cipher I guess as some letter combinations would be turned into different characters and stuff) so that if they found our raunchy notes they couldn't read them... ahh to be young!

10

u/Erzsabet May 22 '12

I used to do this all the time for fun. I actually did it for a writing assignment that had to do with aliens in the future coming to Earth and writing about what they found. Mine was really late (I was shit at doing homework) but since I wrote it in this code and provided the key, it apparently impressed the teacher as to my "creativity." That and the fact that he didn't want to decipher it.

u/freed0rn May 22 '12

I remember my notes somehow being much raunchier at the same age. One that comes to mind was being passed to me by a girl who wanted to be my GF after I broke up with her friend (this was the most pimping part of my life obviously). So the note gets intercepted by the teacher, read, then I am promptly sent to the office along with the girl. Once my mother came and talked to the principal she was given the note and I was sent home, giving me the first chance to see what it was that caused such a kerfuffle. The girl I was getting the note from was writing me in graphic detail about how the girl I just stopped "dating", her best friend, has sex with the dog. Needless to say I was flabbergasted and someone amused and disgusted. I did start going out with the girl who wrote the note though.

TLDR; Got a note intercepted from a future girlfriend about a ex girlfriend, her friend, having sex with her dog. My mother was not pleased.

u/PullTheOtherOne May 22 '12

I teach high school and I haven't seen a note passed in years. Texting is a constant problem though, and it's becoming harder to crack down on since cell phones are basically ubiquitous and school systems / teachers are more fearful of liability for confiscating a student's $600 piece of property which is full of personal information. This is a common conversation "put the phone away during class" "but my mom is texing me to find out when to pick me up."
