Kids can be very mean. So, it's understandable that this dude went into survival mode and faked an accent just to try to steer clear of being bullied. With that being said, it's especially hilarious that he had to maintain the fake British accent for so dang long. I say, just keep it going, man. Really double down on refining that accent so that it's completely unrecognizable from the real thing.

    Font - The entire bus ride to the camp this guy was talking to me about british TV shows like Doctor Who and I keep faking the accent. So we get to the camp and by now I'm thinking I HAVE to come clean and say it was just a bad joke, but for some reason my anxiety is going NO DONT DO THAT ITS TOO LATE YOU ARE BRITISH NOW.

We aren't as close anymore but we still talk over Snapchat sometimes and whenever I send him a Snapchat when I'm talking I have to fake the accent. At this point I think I'm stuck being British forever to him. He can never meet my other friends or family. He lives in a different state but if he ever visits where I l
