Being a one high school town is defiantly considered a pressure cooker. Like the issues addressed in American Teen having everyone go to the same school makes high school so much more intense. Since Ingersoll only has two options for high school the majority go to IDCI and since we live in a small town and everyone knows everyone and even if you don't know a person you've heard of them and or its not hard to find out who they are. This causes for major high school disaster. Like any school there are rumours that float around on a daily basis however in a small town school not only do those rumours spread like wildfire but there is an 87% chance that everyone knows exactly who you are. That's what makes going to a small town high school so hard because if something is said about you, you walk down the halls knowing that almost everyone knows and everyone is thinking about you and what happened. Which sound conceded but its true, if they know something when they see you a most likely negative thought appears in their mind. However in a larger school there is less of a chance of everyone knowing because there are simply too many people and even if one school does find out there are other school in that city that won't know. Where as if thee is a rumour in Ingersoll its almost like the whole town knows. And sometimes to a person the whole town can feel like the whole world and there is no escaping it.
