why do they do the things they do?!
I was shopping a couple of days ago and i thought about things. Why does it matter what clothes you wear? People always say things about what you are wearing when you go to school. I always want to be comfortable but i don't like people talkin about what i wear. I only care sometimes. I hate it though when they look at you because what you look like or what you are wearing. I hate schools for that. Then there is names. If you have a certain last name at our school you will get special treatment. Like at our school there are a couple of people but i ain't going to say names. They always get what they want from the teachers. They seem to get special treatment and they automatically fit in. People talk about them at times but they really don't mean it. I know because i talk about certain people and i know i don't mean it i am just jealous. I am jealous of a lot of people at our school at times. Sometimes even my close friends. i think they are prettier then me or skinner or have better hair or dress better. I hate this feelin. I wish it could go away. Then there is so many things you think about. I don't even know what to say besides school isn't determined by anything besides the way you look dress and what your last name is. Then you have to have the groups. Which i hate at times but i am happy with the friends i have now.

The key to overcome the negative feeling....just say to yourself, "I don't give a flying ****" and you'll be just fine....just calm down...don't worry about what people think and "let it all hang out" as these kids say today

blondelife: I remember high school very well, and I can imagine that you are under a lot of pressure to conform and to wear the "right brands" and behave in a certain way.

What seems like four long, torturous (sp?) years right now will be over in the blink of an eye, and the jeans that you (or your parents) spent $80 on will be out of fashion, but the accomplishments you have made and the character you have built up within yourself will still remain.

I realize that probably sounds corny, but try your best to keep perspective and when you feel the pressure to have and do what all the other kids have and do, take a deep breath and search your motives. Just make the best choices you can and remember that it is all fleeting. Good luck, girl!

Yeah, don't we all worry about this Jess. I mean most of the time I don't care what people think about my clothing. Unless of course I was to dress slutty or something, but I wouldn't because I wouldn't feel comfortalbe in those clothes. I just simply dress in what is comfortable to me. If someone wants to talk about the way I dress, sure I care most of the time, but then I just let it go in one ear and out the other. Like Shaun said....lol. And yeah, I hate how it matters what your last name is. I mean, it even works that way when it comes to showing animals at the fair. I mean if you're not known then you won't sell your animal for a higher price. I mean last year was my first time showing a market goat and I placed third in my weight class so I got to sell my goat individually. Well it only sold for like $375.00. When people that had been known for their last name got more and they placed lower than me. I hate it so much. You'd think I'd be known, cuz I've showed goats ever since I started 4-H but, guess not. And yeah, I get jealous sometimes too of my friends. Like you and Kaley. I think that both of you are pretty and I wish that I could be as skinny as you two, but unfortunatly I'm not. So I'm just gonna have to deal with it and live my life. And I know you know that I get jealous(well i really wouldn't call it that for specific reasons) because of one specific person!! No names mentioned. I thought she was my friend, but now it turns out she's not.

I'm sorry, but I don't think I can say that I feel that way too often. It must just have something to do with what "groups" I'm in. The groups I'm in are the one's that nobody expects to dress nice or anything like that.

I've always been out of "fashion" but I still have my ways of lookin' good (and you know it ) in what I wear. I mean, come on, the batman tee and the polos aren't exactly "in" but I make them look right because I'm that kind of guy. Yeah, I'm a bit self-centered but you all know I'd give you the clothes of somebody else's back in a heart beat.

Maybe you two need to be around "the guys" even more than you are... the only way we should make you jealous is if we are more spoiled than you - no names - *cough*.

Capt. over and out!

Yeah, we know it. You just make everything look hot!

Like I said, I don't really care what people think. It just kinda bugs me when some says something mean. But I just don't really worry about it. I don't really care what you guys think of me. I don't even think you guys care at all. As long as I'm not wearing something to where everything is falling out of the clothes. lol. In fact, I know you guys don't care. And I really don't care what you guys wear either. Because you just make everything look so hot so I don't have to worry. and yeah no names mentioned! *cough*Brandon*cough*Jessica!*cough*

Jess~ I really don't think you should care as much as you do anymore. So who cares if someone says something about what you're wearing, just simply ignor them or you could say what Shaun told you do, but I would advise you not do that. lol.

I'm also curious as to who you are referring to....

This is the good thing about school uniforms - as much as you would protest about how much you hated your uniform you NEVER had to worry about what to wear and what others would think - because everyone was wearing the same thing.
There was only ever 4days every year when anyone cared - and it was a pretty big deal -- most people only got teased if they FORGOT free-dress day and wore their uniform.

As for groups - they're not important -- you've got 2 more years and while it seems like forever it's not -- I left highschool almost 4years ago - which seems like a lifetime because SO much has changed.
At school (we were talking about this a couple of days ago) I wasn't really in a group that could be classified -- we floated - we had friends in every group -- even the really popular ones and the real loser ones -- we were everyones friend but the people we hung around most were 4 guys - 2 Ford Fans and 1 Holden (and we were Holden fans) -- we'd have arguements about stuff - like everything -- would take turns throwing coke bottles into the bin from our chairs and would argue about religion.

I'm 21 - I graduated when I was 17 - In the 31/2 years since leaving school - I've kept in touch with just 3 of my school friends - I see my best friend weekly when we take our kids shopping but other then that I don't even think about highschool or what group I was in.

I'm happy with who I am NOW -- and while that may seem like a lifetime to you -- grades 11 and 12 go by in a flash - one minute you're at the end of grade 10 and the next you're standing on the podium getting that piece of paper -- it's kinda scary but it's okay.

Who you are now isn't going to define who you will be. When I left I had HUGE plans -- my whole life was mapped out -- The Uni I wanted to go to, the course I was going to do - I was going to be married to someone by the time I was 24 and I'd have my first child at 27 - and I'd open a Christian Day care centre.

Well I didn't get into the course I wanted, I dropped out of uni, I got married at 20 and I had my first child also at 20

But I'm Happy!!!
