The back bench kids have seen too much discrimination over their time in school, and it’s time to bring that into light. People who weren’t in the back-bench club always had these judgments about the former which were totally untrue.
Here are a few misconceptions people had about back bench kids in school.
1. They’re bad influence
“They smoke, probably even do drugs, and sleep.” Nope.
2. They’re mischievous beyond repair
Everyone’s a little mischievous, okay. Just because we occupied the corner seats doesn’t mean we had something shady up our sleeves.
3. The ones sitting at the back never pay attention during the lectures
Again, that’s not true. We just think that sometimes, it’s okay to stare out of the window and look at pretty chirping birds.
4. And so, they won’t be able to answer any questions the teacher asks
Try us. *flips hair*
5. Making friends with them will be a mistake
In fact, you’ll have friendships that will last a lifetime with them.
6. They’re the troublemakers of class
You haven’t seen the first bench kids do anything because you were too busy judging the last benches. Ugh.
7. They will definitely cheat in an exam
Dude, EVERYONE cheats.
8. Back-benchers have an attitude problem
If you think that, maybe YOU have an attitude problem.
9. They’re not interested in studies; just masti
Nope. We also like sports, dance, choir, etc. Some of the back bench kids even became prefects. What now?
10. They won’t have a bright future
^Said by the man himself.
So, you were saying?
