Grade10 me in the picture.



"It's just a phase"


I remember when I was in grade10 and I hated everybody for a lot of stupid reasons. It was the year I went through a lot of changes, myself in grade 9 compared to myself in grade 10 was the most drastic change I went through, it was a good change, but then again it wasn't. I was an egotistical bitch who thought she was better then everyone else except the people I wanted to be like or the few people I hungout with, because I ditched a lot of my old friends(sometimes I think that was a good choice). I believed I was so much "smarter" then the people I hated and it gave me this big boost when someone would feed off my sarcastic comments(I've always made them,and still do). I thought I was so much cooler then other kids because I knew certain people, when infact I was knew nobody who really mattered anyway. I remember my bestfriend pointing out how I wasn't the best person to be around and that I should re-evaluate some of the things I said about people. When I took a step back and looked at who I was becoming it kind of hit me and made me realize how dumb I must look to some people. To this day, an old friend of mine will remind me of the arguments we'd get into because I thought I knew everything about whatever we were talking about and I'd always make her feel really dumb, I feel pretty bad about it now because I realize that everyone has different views about things.

I sometimes wonder if Miia never pulled me aside and made that point if I woulda still been some girl with an inflated ego, like a lot of them in this city... I don't know, I'm hoping I would've been able to see it but sadly I know I wouldn't have. I can honestly say that I like the person I am now, obviously there's things I wish I could improve on but I personally know that if I want to improve on them I will in time.

I'm watching a friend of mine go through that same phase I went through two years ago, and I kind of wonder if I should mention anything...but then again, maybe I shouldn't.

you could fart on her pillow and give her poo-eye...that might be a big enough dose of reality for her.

Congratulations on being a pseudo-intellectual, just like every other dolt.

And I can't help but believe I have an idea on who this may be. Either way, this person is a typical kid who *thinks* they have shit figured out.
