Hi everyone. I know that this is a stereotype, but in general, Indigos are said to be disruptive in some classroom settings, and many Indigos are supposedly taking to psychologists and get themselves in trouble with thier teachers quite often. However, I am an Indigo, and yet I am not this disruptive. Certainly, I have my own opinions, and am sconcerned about many aspects of how society works, but I have enevr been considered a 'trouble student'. I do not have problems with drugs or alchhol, as many unballanced Indigos are said to have, and I do not raise hell in systems run in an authoritarian manner. Still, I refuse to conform, and try to teach those who will listen peices of knowledge and wisdom I think will benefeit them. I wonder if, perhaps, either Indigos are mislabled, or if I am an exeption to classic Indigo behaiviour? Or perhaps, I have more Crystal in me than I originally thought and therefore display fewer Indigo traits? Let me know your opinions. I have been wondering about this for some time.
Love and light,
Nimue

I was never a "trouble student" either. The few times I have caused my teachers problems the school board has found out why and caused the teacher even more problems than I could have. I had a suitable ammount of respect for authority, but my respect for my conscience kind of overrides it quite often.

It's a very good thread. I was always the problematic one in the school, I was always "The different" My abilities have caused me a lot of troubles. I was sent to a lot of psychologists, it was made a lot of EEG-s (you know, it shows the waves of the functionality of your brain- electro-encephalo-graph - so I can say I am fully Indigo ;D

I am also not disruptive, though many characteristics of an Indigo apply to me, but I am considered to be a "trouble student" by many people. I simply cannot get used to a regular school. The rhythm of the classes and the expectations people have of me are just really strange and even foreign in my opinion, and I also cannot stand all the noise and images inbetween classes. When it is time for lunch, for instance, everyone is talking and running and everything and all I want to do as a result is lock myself up somewhere and get all of my emotions out through crying.
Right now I'm studying at home and receive some therapy as well. I went to many psychologists and doctors in the past because I always fell ill when I'd been in school for about two days. I'm working on getting better so that I can finish school in a regular way but it's hard to do something like that. Life just overwhelms me sometimes and I have to learn to deal with that.

Hmm.. I was never a trouble student, but then again I'm fairly certain I'm a Violet/Blue cross-over ^_^ (Been reading the Life Colours book a lot) The way I used to deal with school though when I didn't like it was just spend my time in the clouds and went to little happy places

Ooh, I've had electroencephalograms as well. The basic reason: I was born knowing that I needed to meditate, but no-one taught me that it's inappropriate to meditate in certain situations, like when people are talking to me, so my parents thought I was epileptic and I had my brainwaves measured, and they were completely abnormal, like they couldn't even tell if I was a mammal or an insect or something else from the graph. I am not epileptic, and despite my brain wave anomaly I have good use of my brain (I wouldn't say my thought patterns are normal, they are far from it, but they work fine for me.) When I started school there was a suspicion I had a learning disorder and that I was having trouble learning to read, but my parents knew I could already read before I started school, I was actually just pretending to be illiterate so I wouldn't have to read boring stuff.

I was also never a "problem/disruptive student" in the classroom. I did however, have trouble doing my homework if I did not see the point in doing it.

I was disruptive in a political sense. I like to live on the edge of popular opinion. It doesn't make me popular, but I go to sleep with a clear conscience every night.
It's easy to get caught in the machine, but I fight for my own thoughts and imagination every day.

Also, I'm really good at passive resistance. If I don't see the point in doing something I just won't do it. I won't say anything about it, but I won't do it either. This in a way can be disruptive.

I was never disruptive either, but I'm a blue/lavender crossover, I know. More recently...I'm not disruptive...but I'm having a harder and harder time just meekly doing as my professors say in class. ...I definately do not take their words for fact, anymore...I question what they say a lot more.

I was a very disruptive student until 5th form. I wagged half my classes and the classes I went to I walked out of because I felt I was treated unfairly

I was more of a troublemaker as a child (7-10 years or so) , I really couldn't be quiet when the teacher wanted me to.
nowadays though, I try to be quiet, but I'm still the one visiting the principles office on a regular basis to complain about a teacher or something else that bothers me ^^ I can't stand rules that aren't necessary. I hate the fact that a lot of the rules we have to follow and obey in school are products of tradition. >.<

Hi Dee Dee,
I agree with your tradition statement. Generally, the tradition is to not rock the boat. I have completely forgone on almost all the traditions I was raised with.
Not married, no kids, vegetarian, preventative medicine (not reactive), work in a male dominated industry, and am not afraid to work and fight for what I think is right. I innovate.
My avatar is meant to represent my warrior spirit, and I wanted to give you all a visual so you could see that I walk the talk. My boobs aren't as big as hers, but everything else is accurate.

I think it depends on the individual. A good indigo friend of mine in Kuwait never got into trouble with teachers at school, but got into a lot of fights with kids who were bullies and things while he was standing up for the little guy. I think upbringing, temperment, etc. is different for each one of us.

There's different ways to start trouble.
I'm gentle, but idealistic in theory, action, and words. I always push for the best from people. Where I'm from, we say "Go Big or Go Home". There's no shame in that, but if you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space. And, I would expect the same courtesy back.
There is so much to cause trouble about, it's like how could you not?

Also what is disruptive depends on the context also. What is disruptive in one context, may not be disruptive in another context.

You bring a big point to this Kiva. Language is entirely subjective in the ways its used.
It's like arguing whats good and bad. What I see as good someone might think its bad. What the student might see as a way of trying to gain knowledge or attention from the teacher to help them may be seen by the teacher or other students as disruptive..
.. It's always ALWAYS based on the points of view really.. Which makes life strange ^^

Not strange, interesting.
It proves the inadequacy of the structure of most modern societies.
So, language is inherently inadequate, what therefore becomes the evolution?
