Well lady, I dunno, maybe you should have put more effort into your school work instead of getting into fights all the time and running away?
Being given a crappy assignment as a 17-year old doesnt seem like it warrants joining a terrorist organization bent on destruction and murder.

Showing kids who are unable to see the bigger picture beyond their immediate problems (freaking out thinking that sewage duty is what she would be condemned to for the rest of her existence), delinquent behaviour, etc. Pretty accurate portrayal of teen problems/crises in a QZ reality. The show has done a great job of making the world fungus world feel realistic
