Goin to Bolivar High..

Highschool can be a place of fantastic memories..
and a place of torchure.
A place where things that people say can get to your head.
A place where your life long journey..begins.
Where Gym teachers yell at you for not doing something exactly the way they want it done..even if your not even humanly capable of doing it.
Where freshman..dont stand a chance in the lunch lines and you deal with upperclassmen cutting in front of you.
Where you meet your best friends for life.
From dealing with crushes that you know you will never date in this lifetime...
to having one of the best english teachers you'll ever have.
This..is the end of our freshmen year.
The end..is very near.
Now all of us have had our share of "drama".
Except me.
People say its not their fault.
But we all know good and well that it is.
We dont have to live our life in a constant ring of lies and hatred.
We dont have to tell secrets to people that we know we cant trust.
These things are just common sense.
All of these things came to my mind as i was sitting in reading lab.
Some of the people in my class werent happy about some rumor that had been spread.
I know this happens all the time.
But this time it went too far.
This particular rumor had been spread so far that it went directly to the person that it had been spread about.
This really made me think..
I mean..why does highschool have to be tough?
Why do we have to make it hard on people?
In the end..we end up making it harder for ourselves.
What else can i say..i mean..
highschool can be tough.
And i guess i am just lucky enough that i dont have to worry about all of these things such as gossip.
Now..dont get me wrong.
I have been there.
You know..when you say something to someone and you end up having the rumor spread about yourself.
Yup..
I have definatley had that happen.
I know how it feels..
embarrassing..thats how it feels.
My rumor was about a guy.
A guy that i liked only and ONLY as a friend.
The word on the street was that we were dating.
I couldnt stand it.
I mean..hes a great guy and all but..there was no reason for it to even be spread.
It was just one of those I-wanna-tell-someone-just-to-tell-someone rumors.
And i know how people always tell me not to care about what others think of you.
But i have to admit it..
i did care.
And there was nothing that i could do about it.
The person that spread it definatley didnt do anything.
I felt really angry for awhile because hes one of my really good friends and i didnt want this rumor to ruin the relationship that we had.
And it didnt.
We both felt exactly the same way about it.
And the truth is..he was dating someone else!
I definatley didnt want the rumor to hurt their relationship.
So i guess what i am trying to say is..
highschool rocks..so please..
keep things to yourself..
and for those of you who havent...grow up!

HaIlEy :)
