mainstream teenage nature 101

always have a friend to walk to each class with. never walk alone.
talk to lots of people, but don't get too close. (heaven forbid you make a new friend)
when you walk down an empty hallway always have your phone on hand. 
only smile at people that you know will smile back. (who wants to be seen smiling for "no reason")
make sure everyone knows that your life is worse than theirs. (even when they don't want to know)
don't do anything that could get you labeled, because labels last forever.
always cram the night before for tests. (or at least say you do)
pretend you're not religious. (because that's too normal.)
 one up everyone about how little sleep you have gotten. (when you really went to bed at 9:42)
complain about your parents. (even if you actually like them)
let them know how much your siblings suck. (even if they're your best friend)
make sure everyone hears about the hot guy you kissed at the party. (even if he's not real)
use the excuse "my printer is out of ink" at least once.
say your curfew is non existent. (when it really is 11:01)
pretend you don't care about your grades. (even though you study till your brain is fried crispy)
tell your parents it's the teachers fault that you didn't do your homework.
don't let anyone know who you are.
they will chew you up, 
and spit you out.
stay safe friends.

  3. this. this was so good. i'm not sure why we romanticize sadness, when really we all know we gravitate most naturally towards those who are always honest and uplifting.

    not sure when it became impressive to hate your family and get no sleep, but sadly its true. thank you for addressing this because i feel like this post will change things.

    also "you don't know how lucky you are" is probably one of the best songs and the music video makes me cry.
