It makes me wonder…
December 5, 2007
I wonder… two words I often use a lot, but not too much. I wonder why no matter what you do in life, there’s always going be someone better then you. Everytime you try to do something, you end up getting ”shown up” in the end. You can find this anywhere in your everyday life. I’m pretty much a prime example. I try and try, and give it my all, but it’s still not good enough in the end. That gets me wondering as to why I try at all.
I also wonder, if I should try saving friendships that are too long gone anyway. Meaning we don’t speak anymore etc. etc. Why do our teenage years occur this way? Does it all have to be drama all the time, or is there a way we can actually get along with eachother? No one is better than someone else just because their grades are higher, or they have more expensive clothes. Whether we agree to it or not, we are all connected. I wonder why no one else understands this….

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAH.
nice blog :]
it’s true though, i don’t get it, don’t get anything anymore really. BUT good news, our parents made it through, our grandparents made it through, and the teenage years arent really that bad it happens even in your 40’s. might as well get used to being stepped all over now, eh?
nice blog posts though, very nice :]

Ouch…
Just because someone throws better than you doesn’t make them better than you, it just means they threw farther. You have to decide what is worth you trying your best to do, and that makes you a better person regardless of other peoples actions. Notice how we always rank ourselves against others for things that really don’t matter.
They make more money than me, can run faster, gets better grades, has better hair, has a nicer car. Make friends with someone who thinks all those things are important to be the best in and you will have a sad shallow friendship. People who believe that trying their best in areas like kindness, working hard, respect, those are all things that are most important but you can’t be ranked as “better.” How often do you hear people debating who is kinder…a kind person is a kind person and everyone knows that is more important than something superficial.
And that girl with the tight shirt…aren’t you judging her?

omg, i just left the longest comment ever, and it didn’t post it! my internet got disconnected, and the text all got deleted! ahhh!
but anyways…to make it short…
who cares if people are better than you? that doesn’t mean that when you grow up you’re going to work at walmart for minimum wage, adn theyre going to work at some big company for $60 an hour. and with the friendship thing, leave the old friendships, unless there’s one you really want back. i’m sure that those people have found new friends that they’re happy with. you should keep people that you’re close to close, and also become close to other people.
also, just to add to this, what rua123 said, about how our parents & grandparents went through this, tehy did, but then again, they didn’t have such high of standards. i mean, we are expected to have all a’s and b’s. they prolly were too, but their work was easier. my mom says that she remembers doing work that im doing now in high school, and some things we have to learn, she has no idea about. plus, most kids are taking spanish or french. my mom does not know one word in another language, but i have to have an a in french ?! it’s not fair at all. plus, we have higher standards socially, too. they weren’t expected to have soo many friends and wear certain kids of clothing or else they were weird. my mom tells me all the time that there weren’t expenisve clothes that everyone wore in her school, and that she didn’t go out much. i mean, she did do things, but she only had a few close friends, and those are the friends that count because they stay with you for your whole life.

Hard work and dedication do pay off and you will be rewarded in the end. Sometimes the results of our hardwork take awhile to show themselves. Dont give up the good fight. It is people like you who make a difference for the good.

Woah okay nice blog post first of all. haha I feel like I need to write alot since the people above wrote like essays lol. Yeah, I feel the same way 100%. It feels like no matter what I do there will ALWAYS be somebody better than me .. with better clothes .. more friends .. smarter. I spend like 200 hours in the morning on my hair and things, but then once I get to school there are like a ton of people who have better hair then me. Then, when I study hard for a test .. there are always like a ton of people who do better than me. I’m starting to wonder what’s the point in trying. I think.. their will come a time when I will just stop caring and do what I want to do and not compare myself to other people or be able to just reach out to others even if I haven’t talked to them in forever. I think a lot of people in our school just care too much and just are dramatic over nothing. Oh well :/
