I wouldn't mind if people changed, if they just thought more about what came out of their mouths, and how important people are to them.

              I like being alone. I also don't have a whole lot of money to visit people at certain times. For a while, I was so unhealthy I really needed to be alone, be quiet, and be at home. and there's no shame in that.

             Just the way people have acted around me. I think some people don't deserve you, especially early in life. I think this applies to those who really do try and want to reach out, and don't put walls up. There's a difference between putting walls up and being an asshole, and needing time alone without contacting anyone much. If you're worried about me, just ask. We don't live in the Victorian era where people only had letters. We have personal phones and internet. Why has personal communication become so dreaded, and even foreign to some people?

              I also think that maturity has something to do with how I feel. I think I may be ahead socially of several people in my age group. I can't stand the constant whining. It's a bad habit. Also, just take care of yourself. These habits need to be better explained earlier on by teachers. Maybe teachers could try teaching skills and positive habits, rather than trying to push everyone through a middle line tube telling them the history of their country (most of which they will never remember since they are so bored and young), and Pre-Calc... Pre-Calc?!

             I think good habits come from life experience. I'm tired of being on the receiving end of, "Why didn't you do that?" I just want to yell back, "Why didn't I know how to do it in the first place?"
