Every hero needs a sidekick. At least, that’s what I’ve always been told.

That the hero and the sidekick work together, save the day then both receive power and praise. I wish it worked that way. The reality is not what the story portrays.

In real life, the hero gets all the love and all the gold,  plus a pretty girl to make his wife, while the sidekick is left undersold, no grand change in his life.

The hero gets all the credit for the sidekick’s brains and brawn. The story gains a massive edit, one that leaves the sidekick...gone.

Soon enough that sidekick is forgotten, while the hero’s tale lives on. He gets to ride off, sitting on high cotton; the sidekick gets no happy denouement.

yep. my highschool had at least 4 pep rallies a year, in the middle of school time, with the band and cheerleaders and jocks all singing the national anthem. our colors were red, white, and blue, too, so it was the legit american experience

incredible

a lot of American high schools don’t even have home economics anymore, but some do, so the answer is sometimes lol
