It's a strange world! I will not jump...

Yes, at times it seems like the world is set up in a way that is not helpful to me,  I like to think that I am an adaptable person ,but I have been thinking back to Kindergarten, even Pre-School days.  There were circles of kids being told to jump in gym class.  Apparently I did not want to jump that particular day, so my mother received a call home describing her insubordinate daughter's lack of performance. Really? Was I the only kid who did not want to jump?  Why did the others jump on cue and betray me.  What are we teaching our children?  Don't be your own person....yeah, I think that was the message.
