Yooks and Zook gang conflict foreshadows next pointless strife between CHS groups.
According to the Wayside News Report, recent trends of catty teen behavior foreshadow pointless school-dividing clashes as exemplified by recent Yook and Zook gangs in Seussville, Oklahoma.
“F those Zooks. They’re like emos; they’re just just trying to be different by eating their bread butter side down,” stated Yook member and Oklahoma native Tony Ipswitch (11).
Early this year Yook and Zook gangs started talking smack at lunchtime and began clashing due to fighting over whether to eat bread with the butter side up or butter side down.
Such behavior, for example, can be observed by tensions brewing between various CHS dance groups.
At year’s beginning, for example, CHS’s “Don Fusion” group attempted to promote school unity by wearing purple to symbolize Coronado’s scarlet red and navy blue coming together.
That’s until the “she said, she said” tensions came about.
Commenting on relations between her dance group and others, Nizhoni Cooley (11) had the following to say: “Other dance groups may try and act like us but they will never dance like us. They don’t got the skills we do.”
Whereas “sticks and stones may break [one’s] bones but words will never hurt,” language between feuding teen groups can create divide, analysts say.
In Seussville Yooks are doggin Zooks by labelling them as “fake”, “uncouth”, “such [expletive]“, “who dat, who dat hoochie mama,” and other expressions that break self esteem.
Divide by skin color? Lunch table? Dance group? Music taste? Religious belief? Romantic preference? As questions arise about teen behavior, how do teens know that butter doesn’t taste just as good if not better on the other side of the bread if they’ve never tried it?
Obviously there’s nothing to learn from pointless conflict in Seussville, Oklahoma.
