The wiredness of High School
Being a teenager is probibly one of the hardest things I will ever do in all my life. There is no right or wrong way on growing up. There is no manual or book to tell you how sucky, and hard its going to be. Sure, there is your parents but sometimes I think they forget how hard it can be. Its awkward cause you dont know what your doing, or atleast I don't. From elementry, and even in middle school things were so much easier. Cause we were just kids. But, now that I'm in high school, things are so much more different. It was like a slap in the face once I got into high school. I got in there thinking that everything was going to be find and dandy but its not. No one tells you that, you just show up, and man up to it. Grown ups and your elders tell you its okay to be different and be your own person. But, in reality no one wants to do that. We just keep our heads down, mouths close and move on. People I know, say that they dont care what other people think, or say about them. But they really do no matter what they say, if they said they didn't, that would be a lie. Its almost in- human to just not care. I'm trying to independent, trying to make as many friends as possible. While, keeping my head down and walking. In the same token, time tring to be your own person, and character. I don't know, I guess these are the years you find out who your friends are, and discovering yourself all at the same time. I guess its like riding a bike for the first time, awkward, scary, and you fall down a lot.
It is hard. You'll be glad in four years, though. You'll be much more mature person and you'll see that it's worth it. At least that's how it went for me.
Ditto to Dylan's comment. It can be hard, but it'll get easier. Promise.
Hang in there :)
Ditto to both Laura and Dylan. It's hard, and although it will get easier, they'll always be something there to challenge you. The most important thing is to find out who you and remember to never compromise yourself--who you are is more than enough! =)
