MOST STRESSFUL TASK FOR A FIFTEEN YEAR OLD

7C to 8C to 9C

The Most Stressful Task: 

 This post is written on 28th April ( Before Age of Ultron)

  The most stressful tast I have had to accomplish in my time on earth as a fifteen year old (which is about two months so far), is not studying  in the middle of summer (which is excruciating) or creating and managing a blog (which is not).

  Those might be the sources of any other average fifteen year old's stress. But my own unique brand of stress is caused by me doing everything I possibly can to avoid SPOILERS.

   Yeah, you heard me right, SPOILERS.

   If you've read my previous posts (Alienation),  you'd know that I'm obssesed with the new Avengers movie.  And maybe, just maybe, even verging on fanboy territory (Ooh, that gives me the jitters).

  But I haven't seen it still, because we (Arjun, Ram, Subitchan, Asmithaa, Juanita and I) wanted to watch it on the last day of school- April 30th (STUPID TENTH GRADE COACHING CLASSES).

My exhausting day:

  And I can't escape the spoilers. This morning, I took out the newspaper, and there was a review and I had someone pry the paper out of my hands and throw it away.

  Then I went to school and  on the way to class, a friend of mine started talking to me about it.

  "I'm watching it this weekend, so please don't tell me anything, I almost begged him.

  "Don't worry. But Hawkeye had great lines in the movie, you know, Jeremy Renner, he was very funny," he said. 

  "No don't tell me that. I don't care about Hawkeye being funny, but DON'T TELL ME ANYTHING, " I wanted to scream. But somehow I kept quiet.

  This evening, I went to basketball practice and we started doing warm-up exercises.Even there some guys started  discussing it.    But I couldn't shut my ears and shout,"Lalalalala,  I can't hear you!" could I ? It would seem weird. 

  So I started doing some awkward exercises which involved plugging my ears with my fingers, which was weird too, but in comparison less weird.
  Looking back, I don't think I've ever worked harder at anything else.

 Spoilers -  The Evil:

 spoiler (plural spoilers)

   A  document,  review or comment that discloses the ending or some keysurprise or twist in a story

  Good netiquette dictates that one warn of spoilers before discussing them, so that readers who wish to do so may experience the surprises for themselves

   But who is that stopping? Rarely do we take notice of spoiler alerts? Few humans can resist the pull of a spoiler. Thus, it captivates us. 

  

  So I decided to do something about it. I'm starting a petition to ban spoilers and the cruel people who administer them.  Forget murder, or  theft , or kidnapping, I think usage of spoilers is the worst and the meanest thing mankind does.

   But first there's a poll on the left. Tell me what you think.

  So I propose we punish those people who mercilessly spoil with either a life sentence or a slap on the wrist, whichever is suitable.

  For example, "Dobby the Elf dies in the seventh book" (who cares) - Slap on the wrist. "Dumbledore dies in the sixth one" - Life sentence.
  
 As modern-day humans,  our lives revolve around our respective sources of entertainment- our movies, our TV shows, our books, etc. So ruining that, puts a resounding damper on our lives.

  So, my fellow man, whatever  troubles you may face and wrongs you may have done, that does not give you cause to spoil.

Side note:

  And if anyone spoils the movie for me in the comments section,
I don't know who you are or where you live. But I have a very specific set of skills. I will use them and make you suffer.
   I might have messed up the quote a bit, but you get the gist.
