So, you'd like to know me?
Well, I suppose I could explain how everyone thinks my dad's a rich jackass, and my mom's a bitch that spends money all the time. I guess one expects me have an older brother that goes to Harvard and is a golf caddy at the Master's Tournament. Maybe, I'm assumed to have a younger sister that is spoiled. I'd bet one thinks I'm the family "black sheep," the kid that smokes dope, skips school and parties. Well, that's all cliché.
If one really wants to know me, well I'm a pretty relaxed person. I don't make much trouble. Yeah, I skip, smoke and party occasionally. I'm just never caught.
As far as my family, they're just sort of average, to an outsider at least. My mom's a nice lady, she is. I don't despise or have resentment towards her like most teenagers. My dad's a hard worker. He's hardly home because of his search for a job. My brother, however, is not "average." He's the overachiever. He's the one that's always gone because he's in a third world country helping orphaned kids. I haven't seen him in ages it seems. I love all three of them though, even the brother that's never around.
Like nearly every other teen, there's one task, element to life, childhood, that I despise.
I. hate. school. I hate everything about it. The mindless idiots and the monotone teachers. The obnoxious outcasts, and the self-absorbed jocks. I did not want a part of it. I never did. I am not one to conform, but in a high school setting, that doesn't work. I'm stuck listening to the lectures taught by people without passion. What made matters worse? In my eleven years throughout school, I've been to seven schools. One could say I don't have many friends. By now, my senior year, I'm used to it, and I am glad I'm almost done with it. At this new school, I don't plan on making any friends; I'll keep my mind open but that hasn't worked out for me. With my odd music taste and working class family, I'm ostracized. I don't meet many people like me, and I don't plan to. Nothing makes this year different from the rest...
