High School Minds

High School Minds, by L. Andrew R. (September 8, 2004)

She is so ugly. All those hours she spends trying to look good don’t pay off
Why won’t he notice me?
He’s such a nerd
Maybe being smart isn’t worth all this loneliness
She’s such a fat heifer. No wonder she’s bulimic
I gotta lose weight to be beautiful, no matter what I have to do
The tough guy disappoints me, just because he wants to do what is right
The Goth girl is so weird just because she wants to express herself
I wish they would just accept me
Wow, that wheelchair makes him look ridiculous
Why can’t I be treated like everyone else?
I can’t believe the cheerleader won't sleep with him, lets kick her off the team
I guess Ill have to sacrifice what I believe to stay
Choir and theater? You’re a guy, what the hell are you thinking?
I’ll stay away from what I love so people will like me
You’re just going to leave her? You said you loved her
I can’t deal with the commitment; she will be fine without me
He deserves jail. How could a kid from such a broken home turn out so wrong?
Where were you when I needed you dad?
She’s got more bruises today. It looks terrible. Lets just leave her alone.
He’s gay! He doesn’t know what love is.
Maybe I am wierd
Harvard? Your family can’t even pay the light bill.
There go my dreams
Begging? A dollar is way too much to give someone like you.
I just want some food
Maybe if she stopped being a whore…
Maybe if I slut myself guys will like me
Why is he crying? He’s not cool anyway.
Why don’t they like me?
I can’t believe she’s gone. Maybe I should said hi just once
Life is not worth all this pain
He’s black; he’s got to be dangerous
I hate who I am
A cheerleader? She must be a jerk
All I do is try to be nice, and where does it get me?
Let’s go get drunk with him. He’s hilarious.
Is that all I am to them? It’s my mom’s fault—stupid alcoholic
A jock? He must be an idiot
Maybe I am nothing more than a jock
2.5 GPA? What the hell is wrong with him?
It’s my fault they are splitting up
Another blonde. It must be easy for her to get whatever she wants
I have to work so hard for everything.
All he does is smoke weed
Weed is the only way I can escape my bleak reality
She’s got a lot of money. Ill be her friend
People will like me if I give them a reason to
He’s captain of the team, Ill hang out with him
I’m more than just an athlete
Let’s ruin her dress. That’ll show her to mess with us
I have never looked this beautiful in my entire life.

I can’t believe they said that
I can’t believe I said that
