Question. What are pep rallies? I know they have something to with "school spirit", but what are they exactly, and what purpose do they serve?

*brit accent* fascinated by American Kulcher, ah youu?

Just to heave another comment onto the Suck pile,

Our pep rallies consist of small, peppy cheerleader girls (who are all freshman and will all inevitably sleep with a football player), something like little tiny Lolitas, my friend calls them Athletic Supporters (ha, ha... that was tasteless) in tiny, tiny short skirts made to entertain horny football players.

During the course of the pep rally, cheering competitions are held (shoot me-- what an obstacle to a nice conversation) and the football jocks run around with their arms over their heads like bears and groan in loud, cacophonous tones to prove their manliness.

Usually I turn my back to the entire spectacle, as uncomfortable as it may be, and remark as loudly as possible to my neighbor about how much school spirit sucks, and how this is a waste of my time. While wearing headphones. And doing homework.

And other times, we go under the bleachers and shout "Football sucks." And wallow in our pretentious intellectualism.

aaahhhh.

Actually, yes I am. Things like pep rallies, school spirit, Pledge of Allegience and stuff like that are really weird to me, and since I'm writing a series of stories about teenaged Americans, I'm doing research. ^_^

(See, when I was in school, when we wanted to yell and be hyper, we went to a party and got drunk. Well, they got drunk. I don't get drunk, ever at all.)
