Life beyond High School.

For some, high school is their kingdom. Teenagers are like vampires.. they feed off of other peoples sadness and loneliness. For me it is different. I am a cheerleader, but everyone automatically assumes that I'm a bitch. Well if you know me then you would laugh because I am the exact opposite of that. But we know what happens when you assume.. It makes an ass out of you and me. The point is, there are so many stereotypes in high school that I could not count on my two hands. I bet most of you have read these kinds of blogs before, but it never makes a difference.. because no one really thinks its a big deal. What about like beyond high school. In your future job do you think you can just mouth off to your co-workers like you do with your parents or even teachers? Let's be honest.. grow up. All of the super cool jocks that everyone thinks is super hot but he's a total dick. YA well, you're not fooling me... 
 You're not going to be in high school forever, so why not start acting like an adult? That doesn't mean you can't go to parties and have fun with friends. Trust me my parents still do. Im just saying life isn't going to be anything like high school. You cant skip work like you skip class. Or not do the work your boss gives you. I know it's harsh but a lot of people are blinded by there parents' protection. The parents keep them from seeing what they need to learn to keep a job and a family. Growing up is a hard thing to do... It's kind of like riding a bike in away. The first step is getting on the bike. That is an elementary school. The second step is taking off your training wheels like in middle school, getting ready for high school. But at the end of middle school and you finally push off the ground and start pedaling as fast as you can, you may fall but your family picks you up. You see how that ends. The 4th step is always the hardest. Going into college, you have to learn that your parents are not always going to be there to pick up all the pieces and get you out of trouble. You have to pick up the bike your self and start again. 
 After you start pedaling from there.. its not always a ride around the park. Its up a mountain . of paying for collage, getting good grades and have a successful life. High school is there for you to have fun and mess around. To find yourself.. its not going to be there in the future. Once you graduate.. you cant go back as a student. Just remember that..

If growing up is the process of creating ideas and dreams about what life should be, then maturity is letting go again.
