I don't know about the south man, they still have segregated proms in a few places, IKR 2015. Here's the keys to surviving the south:
1. google wrangler jeans
2. cowboy hat
3. cowboy boots
4. plain white t-shirt
5. copenhagen <--only people from the south will know what that means
6. most important, start listening to Toby Keith
as far as being bullied
