People Change

People change, lollipops turn into cigarettes, the innocent ones turn into sluts, homework goes in the trash, mobile phones are being used in class, detention becomes suspension, soda becomes vodka, bikes become cars, kisses turn into sex. Remember when getting high meant swinging on the playground? When protection meant wearing a helmet? When the worst things you could get from a boy were cooties? Your worst enemies were your siblings, race issues were about who ran the fastest, war was only a card game, and the only drug you knew was cough medicine? When wearing a skirt didn't make you a slut, the most pain you felt was when you skinned your knees, and goodbyes only meant until tomorrow? ... And we couldn't wait to grow up.-----I got it in a forward so I don't know who made it up. But I really liked it. :)


Here is another forward that I got:

I have learned that saying "sorry" doesn't cut it, being happy isn't always easy but it's always worth it, if you keep going back to that one person that hurts you, it's not their fault anymore. Saying "I love you" and actually loving someone are completely different. To be smart, you need to make your share of mistakes. Drugs and alcohol change who you really are. The people that are best at hiding their feelings are usually the ones that are hurting the most. Everything you know now could be gone in the morning. Money really doesn't buy love. When you move you really find out who your true friends are. Lying gets you absolutely nowhere. Your family won't always be there for you. It's important not to judge people, you don't know what they've been through to make them who they are today. 
Big things come in small packages (every time I read that one I think dirty. :/ I can't help but laugh). Smiles are contagious. You can't make someone happy if you aren't happy. No matter what the situation is, it could always be worse. Complaining gets you nowhere. You learn something new everyday.
