long but worth reading






nobody keeps their middle

school friends. you'll fail a math

test once in your life. your teachers

will assign you seats away from

your friends and your parents will

assign you to your room when

you do illegal things. you're

going to get drunk and say

something you'll regret. you're

going to cry over boys who's

names you won't remember in

twenty years. you're going to

call your friends names behind

their back when they make you

mad, and they're going to do the

same to you. you're going to be

on your own once in a while.

your opinions of people will

change, once you get to know them.

you're going to run from the

police. you're going to hold

someone's hair back at one

o'clock on a saturday morning. you're

going to find one book in english

class you actually read. people will

make fun of the music you like,

and other people are going to like it

just the same. you're never

going to finish all your homework.

you're going to cry and maybe,

just maybe, needa hug from your

mom. you're going to bullsh*t

every essay you write and pray

that you sound like you know

what you'retalking about. you're going to

get lost in a neighbourhood

that you don'tknow and walk around until you

find where you're going. you're going to sing

sappy teenageballads all alonein your room

when no one elseis home. you're

going to dream offinally getting out

of your town, andyou're going to

miss it when youleave. you are

going to take pictures that you

will blush at infive years. you're

going to get whistled at, cheated on, yelled at, ditched

by your friends, played by boys, laughed at,

you're going to fall in and out of

love, and one day you might really

figure what that word means. you're never

going to stop looking for

yourself. you're a teenager so stop

trying so hard, expecting sommuch, crying so

often. walk with your head held

high. quit talking sh*t about

people. take a walk outside. go

to school and smile at everyone, and

who knows, you might really make

it through
