Very appalling and anomalous 0.5 rating By Anonymous ( Jul 12, 2020) Living in Franklin is detrimental to any joy or success one wishes to achieve. There is nothing to do, the school is authoritarian and controlling, the teachers blatantly don't do their job, it's run very poorly and structured poorly. I am barely grasping my sanity while living i ...Read More n this town and I highly suggest everyone to avoid it by all means. Read Less
Franklin is Hell 0.5 rating By Anonymous ( Jul 12, 2020) Ah yes, Franklin, my hometown, where I grew up, and where I wanted to off myself every second of every day.
Let's make a list for why Franklin made me want to die:
-Incredibly conservative population compelling me to conceal my identity and hate myself for my sexuality.
-Bigote ...Read More d environment, see above.
-Schooling system that is completely incompetent and will cause long-term neurological harm.
-The fragrance of cow manure during my daily runs.
-Literally no opportunities, no community (at least good one).
-Going to the Town Hall, it looked like a trucker meeting. A bunch of hicks complaining about inane nonsense.

My brain is starting to hurt just from remembering my terrible experiences at Franklin. This list could be thousands of pages long, but I haven't the willpower to continue remembering this hellhole in detail. Read Less

Were I sent to Hell, and it was a fiery pit of demons and torment, I would still be happy knowing that I am not in Franklin. The local school is brutally malevolent and outright adverse to education, and the nearby environment i ...Read More s horrifically racist and ignorant. I still feel the impacts of my horrific time there. Do not go here, even to save your life. Read Less
