Pressure

*Pressure*  This is the title of the play i recently wrote for the one act productions at my school.  It's about six kids who get left alone in a classroom because the teacher never shows and there is a miscommunication with the substitute teacher.  The Kids dont really good long, but decide they should start the daily discussion so they dont get in trouble.  I put little bits and pieces of people i know and people i have met into these characters. All of them have problems and pressures that are relevant in today's society.  The play deals with death, depression, anger, repression, and so much more. Lately i have seen alot of my characters in the persona's of people on the progressive u website.  The attacker. The sweetheart. The problem fixer.  There are so many people on here, everyone has atleast a little bit of atleast one of my characters, but it would take me all day to point them out. Progressive u is a place we can express are true opinions with out resorting to violence. And even though sometimes i dont like the antagonists they are necassary to keep the flow of this envirement.  A lot of my play is debating back and fourth, exactly what we do on this website.  Hopefully I can resolve some of my issues with people on this website just like the people in my play do. *Pressure*

your play sounds a lot like a reworked version of 'the breakfast club.'
