It's supposed to be a graduation speech.
I stand before you today, probably for the last time. This is the last time we will all be together, and I could not be any happier about that. These past four years, I have lost all of my faith in people, as a whole. It started out great, just like anyone would like to start their high school career. I was happily involved with someone, and was secure in my group of friends. Then, things happen. People change, and you see the true colors of people you thought you had known more than enough about. Everything wanes, nothing is as good as it seems, you come to realize. These past four years have shown me, that people who you thought were your best friends, can hurt you in the most unusual ways, and far more cruelly than you could ever imagine. I have learned that ignoring it only makes the pain worse when you finally realize it. There is so much drama, and so much hate in the past four years of my life, and no one is to blame but you people. I would get ready every day, just to be scrutinized by the thousands of pairs of eyes. I would work as hard as I could, just to pull off a passing grade, while others would get through without doing anything. None of you realize how much each and every one of you affects the other. None of you realize that every look, every pass in the hallway, changes a person’s life. My high school career has shown me that, in the real world, no one will truly care about you, and the people you trust will hurt you worse than those you consider your enemies. I stand before you today, to let you know that you all have changed my life, probably for the worse. Whoever said these were the best years of your life…they lied.
Ps. This one has nothing to do with the way I feel. haha
