Got back from an away football game with the band, and the usual fun and bad stuff that goes with it. (How come other school's cheerleaders are so much better looking then ours?). Anyway, High School has been strange for me. Last june, I was a depressed, almost suicidal person, who hated everyone and everything. Now I'm much happier and light hearted, and life seems to go well, even though I've had the same problems, they just don't bother me anymore. I've had more social interaction in the past 7 days, then all 3 years of junior high. I don't want to sound like an super-happy idiot, believe me people who are having problems, I do know what it's like. Anyway, If I can get through the insane workload, I think HS is going ot be a great place. I've also met so many new people that I like, that's life.


Whenever anyone picks on you, do not even acknowledge they exist. They give up after a minute or two. Unless you have a really biting sarcastic remark you figure would work
Yup, that works well, as does a knowledge of a martial art. Three people that always picked on me stopped, after their punches were dodged, and they were thrown to the floor. Aikido is great.
