Line Game

Has anyone ever watched Freedom Writers? Well it's about a teacher who wants to inspire a class of kids living in the ghetto. There's a game she plays where there is a line in the middle, and students have to step on the line to answer "yes" and stay in their spot to answer "no." The questions get more and more intimate.
We played that game at our after-school recreation orientation today. Towards the end we were allowed to ask our own questions. I asked if anyone thought the world was getting worse. Everyone stepped on the line, for "yes," except me.
I wondered what that meant.
