When I first thought about entering high school, I do not remember how I felt. I do not remember my exact emotions; but what I do remember are my experiences. I remember how lost I felt in the maze of high school hallways. I can recollect how fearful I was of seniors. I can remember the beauty of pretty girls faces, the gossip groups of teenagers, and how cool it seemed. I can remember them laughing, talking, having a good time. I wanted that, because if it 's one thing I noticed. It was that I didn’t have a lot of “friends” that I was actually with. I wanted one thing, popularity.

Years later I can tell you that being popular isn’t a goal, and having a bunch of friends isn 't a goal either. There is no such thing as popularity and if it 's one thing I lacked it was decency. It was acceptable for me to blow off the friends who had not judged me, It was acceptable for me to make fun of other kids, it was acceptable for me to be a rebel. But it was unacceptable that I had lacked this decency. I am not saying that you need to have decency. I’m saying that you need to take my experiences, and learn from me. Friends are called friends because they are not suppose to be an enemy. If they were, we would call them enemies. So if people are mean to you, disrespect you, you don 't get upset over it. You laugh at them for being inappropriate and immature. You tell them, “Go ahead, roast me some more.” because deep down you and I both know they are childish. You will learn that what they say about you isn’t true after all, and you can laugh at the lies. You can ask yourself, “Wow, can people be that dumb?”. This is what I did, and I ended up maintaining confidence and
