It Gets Better

That's kind of the point, though--you don't have to do x, y and/or z. It gets better instantly, the day you graduate, simply by virtue of not being trapped in a high school building with sadists anymore. Sure, you still have to get a job and live your life, and in a small-town blue-collar scenario you are likely to encounter a lot of the same types of people you saw in high school. But the difference is, most behavior perpetrated by high school bullies--vandalism, harassment, threats, assault--is at best a firing offense and at worst a prosecutable crime, when it's done out in the real world. Not to mention, you now have the freedom to move to a larger city if your small town is an exact replica of the high school environment. You can hitchhike if you have to, and your parents can't say anything about it, whereas before they could have had cops haul you back as a runaway.

The campaign isn't that life gets easy. It's that life gets better.
