So.

Who promised you the world on a platter while you were here, that's what I want to know. Who promised you the rose garden and the happy ever after with lace and sugar and a ribbon on top without oh, I don't know... you not having to actually work for it at all? Which "they" walked up to you and said you had to trust them and they expected it from you? Mmm? Hell, I haven't even told Miles anything of the sort.

So some of you keep saying "they" lied to you. Some keep saying "they" as though it were some sort of curse word, but fact is, I don't know anyone called "They" here. And some of you keep acting as though you're being kept in jail.

I'm wondering here. Who?

Which is all well and good - but sometimes you've got to understand that the people who've had more life experience than you do know more about the situation, even if some of your teachers don't act like it. And even if some of the students think that they've had enough life experience to take matters into their own hands, they're still wrong.

There ain't a thing wrong with speaking your mind. The problem's with those who think they know better, and start going against the grain and screwing it up for everyone.

People are being scolded for speaking their mind, here, in this school, now. I could point it out, if you like. Being told they're wrong for feeling unsafe and for thinking they were lied to, when they were told it was safe here.

Maybe my English is worse than I thought, but safe to me means not having guns to your head!

I see a lot of things. Dr. MacTaggart knows almost all of it, because she has a copy of every drawing, every dream I write down. I do not think if I asked people directly about something I saw that they would be entirely honest with me, not when they are not honest with Professor Xavier, or any of the other adults.
