The School Me
At school I am quiet, doing my best not to be noticed. I go about my business day by day, trying to get people to just leave me alone. I take a stand when it it is absolutely necessary, like during the election of 04...I believe that I was more outspoken during the end if seventh and beginning of eighth grade than during any other. But that was two years ago. (Wow, has it really been two years already? ) I am talking about now. I take a stand less and less as time goes on. I get more intimidated my the random acts of cruelty by my peers. GOD, why can't they just leave me alone?!?!?!? But just last Thursday (the sixteenth of March 2006), I took a stand by eating lunch out in the hallway with some girls who hardly have any friends. I am not entirely sure what the school thinks, cuz I had been sitting with some less 'freaky' people (in their eyes) before. But they never paid much attention to me. I never quite fit in. But then again, since when have I ever fit in anywhere at school?
The Home Me
At home I spend about as much time by myself as I do with my family. It's not that I don't like my family, (cuz I do, I love them very much) I'm just not a "people person", as my mom likes to put it.
The home me is also quite depressed sometimes, mainly because I hate school and I have virtually no friends nearby, and as a result I get lonely a lot. There are times when I have stayed up late in my room crying, but thankfully most of the time one of my parents (usually my mom, she's a lighter sleeper) hears my crying and comes down to comfort me.
The Friend Me
When I am with my friends I am very outgoing, and, amazing as this may seem to some of my peers, I talk quite a bit. When I am with my friends and when I am at home is the only time when I am not afraid to assert my opinion and/or stand up for myself, except when my friends are leaving me out. When that happens,I can think of no way of telling them without being rude and getting them mad at me, and I hate, hate, hate having people, especially my friends, mad at me, so I just deal with it quietly.

Not really a story, but I didn't know exactly what to post it as.

Amazing
Hey! This really spoke to me. Usually when I hear that someone is going to describe themselves, I don't pay attention because they are usually placing themselves on a throne. But you aren't like that. You examined yourself the way you truly are, and for that I admire you. Keep on writing, and never forget that you can always come here and be with people, instead of being alone. -
this was a great way to express your feelings. awsome

Thanks a lot. You guys have no idea how much your encouragment means to me. Yours and Kallen's and Hannah's. Thank you soooooo much!!!

awesome
This is awesome... and if you're anything like me in this respect, this was hard to write, because I writing personal poetry/stories/songs/columns (and anything else like that) is really difficult for me. Kudos! I seriously like this. And when you get depressed, know that you have me, Hannah and Kallen to lean on! We're here for you! When you say that better times are ahead, you're right. Things have no where to go but up. Fantastic job on this!
