how sad, this one doesnt get a picture

Everyone writes a "back to school" blog eventually, those that go to school at the very least, why not join in the fun?
so, this is my back to school journal, in which I would like to propose several new...how should I put it...."commandments for a healthier and happier understanding of high school", sure, that fits nicely, big words and ripe properness so eagerly spiced with egotism. nice. what i plan to do with this blog is to set down some ideas on how to survive the many social situations that make up high school.
1) acknowledge the fact that you are little more important than disregarded play-toys to many of your companion students, and therefore acknowledging that this doesn't necessarily mean they wish to do you harm, but more that they consider you a sort of momentary distraction upon occasion, but invisible in all other circumstances. if it tickles your fancy, try to become a favorite toy of whomever you may stumble upon, though guard from companionship. a child prefers a toy that plays well and amuses, when one crosses the line of play-toy to play-mate, they chance the risk of unnecessary danger. know who is your play-mate and who is your play-toy, but know to keep this score secret.
2) guard from intense feelings of companion-ship to any one group, this translates to discrimination almost immediately, and do not kid yourself and claim that you feel no hatred towards any one kind of person because of how they look, act, or talk, you are egotistical and very wrong if you believe so. let yourself take in the fact that everyone is flawed, and that no one play-toy is any less interesting than the rest. consider a diversity of companions for maximum understanding of humans and for more vast choices in the fields of play-mates.
3) in any case that you develop any sort of intense romantic interest in any one person, though I advise you avoid this if at all possible, consider the relationship with the eyes of a hawk, many unwanted things have and will become because of relationships, do you consider what you may temporarily believe to be "love" worth the surrender of happiness, clarity, and respect. if not, upon further peer pressure related to this issue, always assume the stance of "perhaps, perhaps, perhaps", and keep weary of further developments
4) do not take your social attire too seriously, to indulge yourself in nothing more than the senseless drudge of gossip and teenage drama builds a confused and empty mind. such things are pretty, like diamonds, but virtually worthless when one considers the vast expanse of the universe and thought. though, I wouldn't bother too much to try to convince anyone that what they believe is wrong is truly wrong, for who am I to say who is right and who is wrong, I am nothing more than any of us are, no? another play-toy in the vast expanse of play-toys there for the amusement of other play-toys. so I have you read through this whole blog just to reach the end where I say "oh what a jolly good jest I've made! ho ho!", but, in a comical sense, and very dark sense, I believe all of the things I have written, but I believe they are all very wrong too. in short, believe what you wish to believe in high school, do what you want to do, and find important what you wish to be important, but, for god's sake, just try to not mix me up in it...
