00:08:41Once you come home right after school today, you've got your first therapy session tonight
00:08:47I don't need therapy
00:08:50Cherry anybody who has been through what you've been through needs therapy
00:09:16I
00:09:46I
00:10:02Mean really who wants to look at someone that disgusting? How do you ever expect to get the girls looking like that?
00:10:16I
00:10:34Welcome to sociology now, how many of you are here just to fulfill a graduation?
00:10:42Well, I think you're in for a big surprise
00:10:45Sociology affects us on a daily basis in many ways
00:10:49for example
00:10:51Let's look at interpretation of culture
00:10:53Now culture is a set of values and norms that apply to a particular group of people. It's like an operating
00:11:00Here where you have an operating system of our own
00:11:03The American high school operating system. So what kind of value norms do we hold here?
00:11:09Um
00:11:11Teachers run the class and students come to the classroom. Very good. But do all students follow this norm?
00:11:20No, so we have to allow for deviance in society
00:11:24Someone who's not willing to live within the social norms
00:11:28like people who button to other people's business or
00:11:31people who show their ugly faces around
00:11:35Well
00:11:36That depends on the society in the situation, but I guess sure that could be a deviance
00:11:42But let's remember that America was built on people who are willing to speak out and take matters into their own hands
00:11:49And just look at the way we operate in the world today
00:11:51I mean, it might not always be our business, but we want to help other countries who are suffering
00:11:57Jerry Jerry wait. Hey Jerry
00:12:00Jerry
00:12:02How you doing?
00:12:03Okay
00:12:06I live next door to you. We used to play together when we were little you remember? Yeah, I remember
00:12:13What happened that night
00:12:19There's anything you need let us know
00:12:22Okay, you headed home
00:12:28We always used to have sleepovers at my house, remember
00:12:31We'd have mac and cheese and then we'd sleep in my bed. Tell me more
00:12:37Shut up, Jamie. I was like seven
00:12:39Anyway, what are you doing tomorrow?
00:12:42Well, Jamie and I do Japanese sword fighting lessons on Saturday. We're wondering if you'd like to come
00:12:47Maybe it's a blast. You get a beat on punching bags start feeling like the last samurai and shit
00:12:55Maybe you two would feel more like that chicks from the Matrix. Who's that? He means carry on loss. No, who's that?
00:13:00I don't know. It's just some weird blind guy. He just stands out there and listens to the birds and the wind and stuff
00:13:07He's creeping me out
00:13:12You know, I think that's the guy who called the cops that night, huh
00:13:22And we were like sisters
00:13:25No, we're better than sisters cuz we never fought
00:13:28That's true. You know when we'd have sleepovers we do everything together. We eat off the same plate. We'd even take nighttime baths together
00:13:35Oh, yeah, that's what I like to hear
00:13:38Jamie we were like seven keep saying it, but I keep hearing it and I like it
00:13:45Hi mom, hi mom. Hi mom
00:13:50Miss Douglas can cherry come kick ass with us tomorrow. What can she come to our martial arts class tomorrow? You sure? That's a good idea
00:14:00Yeah, mom, I'm fine
00:14:06You don't want to talk to me, huh, I
00:14:17Would think that I would need someone to talk to if something like that happened to me
00:14:28Why are you so angry?
00:14:32Not angry
00:14:35What are you feeling I'm not angry
00:15:00I don't understand why you have to be so difficult
00:15:05Don't see what the big deal is a big deal

00:37:13How many children do you have?
00:37:15One my daughter. Well, I never see her
00:37:19The only thing I see is her eyes open. I shut
00:37:25When I walk outside
00:37:27Sing with the birds, she's all I ever see
00:37:32No other living soul will ever see my daughter again, but I do
00:37:38Good night
00:37:40Then you understand more than most I
00:37:44Understand, but I'm not like the man that attacked you you mean her, right?
00:37:51Right
00:37:55Right
00:38:21I
00:38:51I
00:39:14Why have you been sneaking out of here before I can say hello
00:39:21Oh
00:39:24Why don't you think you belong here
00:39:29Well, let's see I've had premarital sex I don't study other religions Oh premarital sex
00:39:38I'll go sit down
00:39:44Look
00:39:47Mary Magdalene was what the Bible tenderly calls a whore
00:39:52Yet Jesus accepted her
00:39:54So I'm pretty sure you're welcome here with the rest of the sinners
00:40:01So what if I don't believe in God
00:40:04Why do you believe in God I
00:40:08Believe in God because without him
00:40:11This existence is too terrible to imagine. I
00:40:15Have faith that there's someone looking out for me. I
00:40:19I would encourage you to keep reading those books and come back and talk to me
00:40:27Okay
00:40:36Great it's been a long time since I had one of these
00:40:49Oh
00:41:08So who's this this picture the pretty girl
00:41:19I
00:41:33Examined three types of suicide we can see that there are qualifying social factors that surround the suicide victims
00:41:39For example, if a person is constantly devoid of structure and moving outside of their social boundary
00:41:45Then that person is more likely to commit suicide. It seems that society itself predisposes us to suicide like many other things
00:41:53Yes
00:41:55Does that mean that certain people should commit suicide?
00:41:58Since society thinks so then people who don't belong or no one cares to look at should just do it, right?
00:42:05Absolutely, not just because someone is coerced in a particular direction doesn't mean that that's the right way to go
00:42:12Predisposition is not the same as morality
00:42:15Culture society are not thinking things. They have no rational thought
00:42:19They're just from shared experience. And the other thing is if you have an inappropriate question, please keep it to yourself
00:42:44Oh
00:42:56That one really hurt, sorry
00:43:02Lindsay wasn't trying out for a cheerleading right now. I'd ever beat you up
00:43:07I just want to hang out with that group
00:43:10To try me nuts you think there's such hot shit
00:43:13But you know as soon as I get out of high school, no one's gonna give a damn about who they were
00:43:18She just wants people to admire probably cuz her parents never around to pay attention to her
00:43:23Well, that's what you're here for
00:43:26You're so whipped
00:43:27You are so whipped. You're going over to her house to take care of her chores
00:43:33You're just mad cuz you're not getting any of those girls make fun of you
00:43:36I
00:43:38Make fun of everybody not just me. Why don't you say anything?
00:43:50If if you've been out with someone for like six months shouldn't you be sleeping together
00:43:58Sorry, sorry, I don't think she really likes me
00:44:03Well, you know, maybe she's scared did you consider that cuz I mean that's a really big thing for a girl
00:44:09Yeah, but I never do anything to hurt her
00:44:12You know, I'm not the one you should be talking to about this
00:44:16I know
00:44:19What why did you uh, why'd you move away foster care
00:44:26My dad
00:44:29What yeah
00:44:31They were um, they're dropping acid and he already had like a lot
00:44:38We didn't know he had a gun
00:44:43And so I hid so he couldn't find me but
00:44:49He shot himself
00:44:52You didn't seem to it did you
00:44:55No, I don't remember. I sometimes I think I did
00:44:59But then sometimes I think that I might have just you know manufactured that memory
00:45:07I'm gonna see Simon
00:45:28Yeah, so I get my cheerleading uniform tomorrow neat
00:45:42Where's your mom
00:45:44She's a bingo
00:45:46God
00:45:48Well, thank God
00:45:50She just always treats me like I'm some little kid
00:45:54She doesn't treat you that bad
00:45:57Besides you're her baby. She just wants to take care of you. Well, it's irritating
00:46:15You wanna
00:46:22You know, this was so much easier when we were younger
00:46:27Bubbles in my ear
00:46:37You nervous that Saturday
00:46:40Hmm you challenged with Jamie you know stuff. No, I'm going to kick his ass
00:46:49Besides he's too nice to hit a girl. I think you'd be surprised
00:46:56Oh
00:47:02Hey
00:47:26I
00:47:56I
00:48:26I
00:48:56I
00:49:11Everyone decent except for being a loser
00:49:18You could have taken him
00:49:20You
00:49:24Maybe I'm just not as good as you people think I need to
00:49:28Work harder focus more something next time you throw a fight in my class. You're out. Got it
00:49:37Look Jamie and everyone else in there deserves your best effort and he needs to learn to be defeated
00:49:44You worked just as hard as he did and you deserved it just as much
00:49:48Don't disappoint me again
00:49:50Don't disappoint me again
00:50:15Why is it that you avoid everything
00:50:20I don't I think you do
00:50:24Well, I think I'm tired of people pressing their opinions on everybody else
00:50:29Nobody can even be who they want to be now because there's always somebody behind them saying that they're doing something wrong
00:50:34I mean people can't wear what they want to wear or look how they want to look or
00:50:38Believe what they even want to believe in I mean we're judging people on the opposite side of the world
00:50:44It doesn't make any sense Simon. I
00:50:47Mean even next door people are judging you because of the color of your skin or me because some psycho cut up my face
00:50:54Let's tell me you who you want to be
00:50:57What?
00:50:58What all this stuff you spout now that me have to do with anybody but you
00:51:02You're doing the same thing
00:51:05Do I still creep you out?
00:51:09We all have our judgments we all see life through stained-glass windows
00:51:14And the way I see it you have your own demons to overcome I believe you have five if we're counting
00:51:21They have you as theirs
00:51:23I
00:51:47Ask you something
00:51:49Of course
00:51:52Go on sweetie
00:51:58Did you enjoy it when we took that bath together
00:52:02Yeah, yeah, that was fun
00:52:10What I didn't mean it like that I just meant
00:52:16When we were younger
00:52:19I always really liked being close to you. It was never just like a
00:52:26Fun thing for me it always just felt right
00:52:34You don't have to stay anymore if you don't wanna go home sleep
00:52:42What
00:52:49What
00:53:04This is me
00:53:19I
00:53:26What do they call you father sedum
00:53:30Well, it's a an old high school football nickname
00:53:35You played football
00:53:37Yeah, and I dated the head cheerleader. I wasn't always a minister. You know, I was young once
00:53:47What's going on with you Sherry
00:53:50Nothing
00:53:53We're gonna have an actual conversation today
00:53:58Okay
00:54:04What if a person made a decision that was outside of
00:54:12Normal social
00:54:14norms like is outside of
00:54:18Political or religious norms
00:54:23What do you think would happen to that person
00:54:30Is this about your interest in another girl
00:54:37There's not a lot of ethnic diversity in this town, so I
00:54:41Don't think you're talking about being part of a mixed couple and unless you're putting that makeup on thicker than I thought
00:54:48I
00:54:49Sit down
00:54:52Sit
00:54:59As your minister, it's my responsibility to tell you that our Christian beliefs frown upon two men
00:55:07Or two women being together. I
00:55:11Know I
00:55:13Mean I can leave if you want me to I don't have to come back. However, I
00:55:19Don't understand why people believe that God will forgive
00:55:23Rapists and child molesters, but they won't that he won't forgive two people that actually care about each other
00:55:31If you're really sure about your feelings, I believe God will understand
00:55:37All
00:55:41The world's a stage and we all play our parts to
00:55:45Paraphrase Shakespeare and contemporary thinkers on the subject matter would agree except we would take it one step further
00:55:52We would say that every backstage is its own stage and every stage is a backstage to our backstage
00:55:58What I mean to say is that we change our behavior to see the situation we're in are you saying that everyone's two-faced?
00:56:05Not at all
00:56:06Two-faced implies that we only say that things that people want to hear and that we change our personalities to make them happy
00:56:12What I'm saying is that we curtail our behavior to be more socially acceptable. I don't see the difference
00:56:19You don't see the difference. Okay. Um, let's take an example. How about the food service industry you work at a restaurant, right?
00:56:25Okay, so when you're in the back room, do you speak nicely of the customers up front?
00:56:30No
00:56:31Okay, so why don't you just tell them that when you drop off their food, you know, just say hey, here's your food
00:56:36By the way, I hate you and I hate the way you're treating me. So please remember to tip you can't do that
00:56:41Why not because you'd get fired and they won't tip I get it
00:56:47But how can someone be anyone else when they're ugly ugly, you know, like horribly scarred
00:56:53You're beginning to run out of material there's more to a person than their appearance
00:56:58Okay, you guys have the 13th weekend. Please read it. Please read it. I think I don't you don't
00:57:13Okay, yeah, I'm used to it
00:57:17Listen for what it's worth. I really admire the way you've handled this
00:57:20Listen for what it's worth. I really admire the way you handle it. I'm sorry
00:57:27Why don't you do something about it
00:57:33Hey lindsey
00:57:51Lindsay you know this drink
00:57:54Go away monster
00:57:57Lindsay hey, you're really asking for it
00:58:21Okay
00:58:25I can't believe she did that
00:58:44You really suck, you know
00:58:47I don't care
00:58:52Don't I guess I don't know I just know what it feels like
00:58:58I used to be friends with them
00:59:06Maybe I wasn't but we used to have a lot of sleepovers and stuff
00:59:12Played a lot of truth or dare in grade school
00:59:16middle school
00:59:20Anyways, so one of them dared me to kiss them and
00:59:25Again, I thought i'd show off and make it good, too
00:59:31And they started calling me dyke
00:59:36Spread of course
00:59:38And now they pretty much just mean to me
00:59:40Yeah
00:59:44Did you like it
00:59:48Yeah, I mean I guess yeah
00:59:55So they weren't wrong
01:00:04You're scarred
01:00:06Does that make it all right for them to pick on you does that change the way you feel
01:00:13Get so tired of hearing people say
01:00:16I'm, not being mean i'm just being honest
01:00:19Like the two are mutually exclusive. You can be mean and honest at the same time, you know, so
01:00:26Fuck you, too
01:00:27I was trying to be nice
01:00:31I'm sorry, i'm sorry
01:00:36So
01:01:06So
01:01:17Jamie
01:01:21Why'd you let me win sherry
01:01:24I didn't bullshit
01:01:26You could have beaten me. Even I wanted you to beat me. Why did you do it? Do you pity me?
01:01:32Why would I pity you because you knew that lindsay would leave me for you?
01:01:36Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, she told me everything and about how we couldn't be together anymore. It's bullshit
01:01:42I wish you never would have came home. I wish that guy would have killed you
01:01:47Hey you and me both man
01:01:51Wait, wait
01:01:54Did you learn to like me too
01:01:56What could you learn to like me as much as you like lindsay?
01:02:00Then the three of us could be together, you know
01:02:02Jamie go home
01:02:06Is she the only thing that makes me feel like i'm not a complete loser
01:02:12She's not a thing jamie, she's a person she's a person that hasn't treated either of us very well
01:02:20Given up on lindsay jamie. I think you should too
01:02:36That's true
01:02:42Honey what's wrong go away
01:02:52Please go away
01:02:56I'm, not a little kid anymore. I know you're not honey. I know
01:03:02Sometimes it just feels good to have your mother hold you
01:03:06Yeah
01:03:09Lindsay and I kissed the other night
01:03:17And I think I could love her
01:03:20But there are these kids at school that walk all over me
01:03:24And it hurts so bad and she doesn't do a thing to stop them
01:03:28Yeah
01:03:33I just think i'm so disgusting. No, honey. Never I just didn't expect it. That's all
01:03:42Charity
01:03:44You
01:03:46Are the most beautiful person in the world to me
01:03:49And it doesn't matter who you choose to love. Nothing. Nothing can change that
01:03:54I'm your mother and i'm always going to love you
01:04:06Always
01:04:16It's just a little whore anyway
01:04:24You
01:04:28Mom
01:04:31Why did you stay with dad if he was like that
01:04:37Terry your father wasn't always like that
01:04:41Changed
01:04:48Your father and I were on our honeymoon
01:04:51And
01:04:53We've gone up into the mountains and we were high and that's not a reference to the altitude
01:05:01About your father
01:05:04He tripped he fell
01:05:08And he cracked his head on a stump
01:05:12He was never the same after that
01:05:15I
01:05:17Terry I want you to know that your father was the most amazing man I have ever known
01:05:24He understood me like nobody else
01:05:30But then in an instant he was gone
01:05:36And I was separated
01:05:39And
01:05:43When I found myself married to a man I absolutely despised all in one night
01:05:53You never let go
01:05:55Huh?
01:05:56No
01:05:57I just kept hoping that this this someone would go back to wherever he came from
01:06:03I wanted to give me back my husband
01:06:10I'm sorry
01:06:12Sweetie you have nothing to be sorry for if I had let go honey, you would not be here

01:06:57All i've ever done is stay here and do everything that you've ever asked of me. That's fucked up cherry
01:07:02Especially after what happened that night
01:07:04It's not what you did lindsay it's what you didn't do what do you expect from me cherry

01:07:13I love you. Cherry
01:07:14I love you more than i've ever loved anyone. I need you in my life. You're so good for me
01:07:19But people expect things from me
01:07:22Do you listen to yourself
