Surviving High School
Worried about what others think
Who am I going to sit with
Am I popular
I need the coolest clothes
I can't be seen talking with these people
Everyone else is going
It's not cool to be smart
My public image is so important
My decisions dictate how people feel about me
We can only hangout with our friend group
Those kids aren't popular
Being mean to others is cool
I just wanna fit in
False
Be yourself
Don't care about what others think
Do what makes you happy
Talk to everyone
Wear what is comfortable to you
Respect everyone
Help everyone with their problems
Show others you care
Don't have others define you
Be your own person
Treat others the way you want to be treated
Always have everyone's back
Don't be fake
Do your work and show your teachers you care
Loyalty and respect
Thats whats cool
That is maturity
My future and the people I love and care about are what's important
Not my public image.
