I feel you on being surrounded by retards. My family moved 1200 miles away from where I grew up halfway through my grade 11 year. When I got enrolled into my new school, all of the shit they gave me for work was shit I had already done 1-2 years prior. I was annoyed for having to redo the same work and looked down on everyone in that city for being dumb, so I didn't care to befriend anyone.
