To the high school kids on the train:
You have a lot of energy in the mornings. I never did. I would have slept on the bus every morning when I was your age, except for the fact that I was scared to death my schoolmates would do something to me (this was not an unreasonable fear). But you have energy. That's good. And you have friends to talk to. That's good, too. Yes, people are trying to sleep, but the train is a public place, and I've been guilty of having intense conversations on the bus or train myself. I can block out normal conversation; that's what iPods are for.
But really, is it necessary that your conversation be heard from the next train car over? You and your friends all sit together, so your admirable ability to project is being wasted. If you were sitting behind me, I wouldn't think a thing about hearing the details of your life, but from a car away, I find it a tad excessive. Please consider your audience. Thank you.
