Toughen up or die!


Stand close together and lift where you stand

Suck it up, Princess!

Come what may and love it

Sheesh!

What a poopy day today has been! (This is Alexis).
My teeth have been hurting ALL day, I didn't get what I want for lunch, and at the end of the day I find out I have to get some wisdom teeth removed! WHAT THE HECK! Thats all I've got to say. Just so this isn't a blog meant for ranting, I'll post a poem I did for english.

Some People’s Children

Parents—
What’s the deal with them?
Why do they think their special?
Why are they such a gem?
Can’t they see their kids are stupid—
JUST LIKE THEM?

Oh, parents talk about how
Stupid we teenagers is,
But have they ever thought to themselves—
Who raised us?
Who raised these kids?

People—
What’s the deal with them?
Don’t they understand
That we don’t know what we’re doing!
Maybe we should start a band!
To express our insecurities—
Heck, to tell them that
We’re the man!

We don’t need no parents’ remarks—
We’ll go down our own paths!
We’ll make our own embarks!

But then I remember, I think to myself:
That parents were kids—
They stole cookies from the shelf.
They did this all before—
We’re not breaking down
Any new door.

And then I think—even worse—
We’re repeating our parents’ mistakes!
We’re beating a dead horse!
We’ve gotta make some new mistakes,Make them our own, of course!
