Should I be conserned about what you think about me? Wait... why do I even care? Should I listen when you talk to me, or just pretend you're not even there? Does it actually matter, your opinion of me? Maybe not at all, because I still pass happily by you, walking tall. " If you don't care so much then why do you ask" you say? I not quite sure how to answer that question, because all of this just hit me today. I do know one thing (and off the top of my head) that I'd reather be who I am, then who you want me to be instead.

This is about the gossip, lies and betrayal of being a teenager. It's also about keeping your confidence with all the gossip and lies flowing around you.
