Back to School

For some of you - maybe most of you - school has resumed at the tail end of this hot and humid summer. I know - I'm one of those people unhappy about the earliness of school's resumption. And with school comes that drama we so desperately hate, and yet some of us secretly love. It adds spice to our boring education, right? Drama FTW? Not so much.



Okay, so school lives are basically boring. Sure, you have your friends, but you only see them MAYBE in the mornings - if you get there early enough - and at lunch. If you're lucky, you'll have a few classes with them. Great. That's fun. But meanwhile, there are so many people you have problems with. You see your opening, and you strike. Like that last pair of really nice earrings you like that you see some other woman eyeing. Oh yeah. We all know the feeling. Maybe not the earring analogy, but you know what I mean.
So you START SHIT. You cause drama and you get in deeper and you gossip and you do all that good stuff. Yeah, it's fun - at least for the moment. But think about it in the long run. Is it worth the "fun" to face a possibly stained reputation for the rest of your school days? Everyone gossips every once in a while; there's no crime in that. But when it escalates to the point where other people's lives are all you talk about, then you need to step back and get a serious reality check. Don't talk shit about people just because you're bored with your own life. Get a life, something to do, some fun to have. Something other than trying to bring people down by starting petty drama.
I'm not going to lie; I do things like this, and I'm sure you and every other teenager does. It's not abnormal. But I'm advising you against it. Because you're just going to fuck yourself over in the end.
School is starting up, boys and girls. Drama drama drama. Please, don't hesitate to email me with any questions, and you know I'll answer them to the best of my abilities.
Loves and such.
