My sophmore year, in short, has been 8 million times better than last year. maybe it was that i had less growing to do emotionally, or maybe i just learned that i can allow my emotions to help me grow. either way, this year taught me a lot.

This Year I Learned:

in highschool your friends come and go. half the people i hung out on the weekends with last year, barely get a hello in the hallway.

what people label you as one week, or one year, can change the next.

dont waste your time caring what other people think of you, the less you care the more people are magnetized to you.

there is truth in every asshole statement your parents make.

show no remourse or resentment for trying to be friendly or getting to know someone. if they dont want to take you up on the offer, its their problem.

excuses get you no where, they only lock you in

always take threats about suicide. dont wind up in a hospital trying to smile and learn the hardway.

dont let the great things other people do make you feel insignificant.

there is nothing beautiful or appealing about being depressed.

try anything once, as long as you are 100 percent confident in yourself that you are responsible and that you are in control

try to get to know people that dont seem like your type, or seem like they would annoy the shit out of you. maybe your wrong. people that seemed like i would want to spray them with pesticides turned out pretty cool and much different than i thought they would

dont fear people. when you fear someone, you're giving them power.

people in our school need to take a class on politics in general, so they dont have to humiliate themselves by chanting anti-flag lyrics, when they dont know what any of the -isms mean.

dont trust people right away. let them earn it.

have a back bone, if you dont, people will walk all over you.

never put anything down before you either learn a lot about it, and witness it first hand, or experience it yourself. this goes for religion, drinking, pot, anything that is controversial.

crying isnt a horrible thing to do

it is possible to find love when you are 15

dont associate yourself with close-minded people

*"protest is patriotism"*

even though your friends come and go, there will always be some you will have almost all your life. to my true friends this year, thank you for everything. we went through a lot, but we made it through. we grew together, and everyone of you has made an impact on me. each one of you will always be reflected in my heart. that goes out to the friends i have had since elementary school and to the friends i made this year. i value each and everyone of you.

most importantly be yourself, never lose sight of what you want, and what is right for you. its important to make others happy, but not if its going to bring you down.

so theres my two cents worth. one year scrambled into a dozen or so moral lessons.

life is wierd that way, i hate it so much, but yet im so inlove with it.

i hope everyone had a wonderful year
