So I've realized that people don't trust me as a 16-year old. Apparently stereo-types are stronger than personality these days. As a student of a catholic high school, a coach at little-rock, skip on two curling teams, one of the editors of the yearbook, and the student head of the announcement crew. Yet, my decisions and comments (when actually listened to) are taken as false, unimportant and useless. So somehow, even though I have seven or eight years of curling, people don't believe me, just because I'm sixteen. How weird is that? So I'm expected to sit back and let people of apparent 'authority' walk all over me. AND THEN. Get this. They tell me to get a backbone when I let classmates walk all over me.
wtf.
It doesn't make much sense, does it? But I guess that's okay, sometimes.
Just not EVERYDAY. Oh well. I guess, until I'm the age of majority, I have to let it happen. Then I have many, many, MANY years ahead of me for paying taxes, voting, and making my own decisions.
And that's that.

i'm not much older than you, ut i can remember what it was like to try and prove yourself to every adult who was supposed to matter. honey, it never ends, because i find myself doubting my own kids. but of course i catch them in lies!! just be patient and remember that as long as YOU'RE happy, everything else will follow. keep smiling!!!!
Just stumbled onto your blog and read this post and I had to smile, forgive me, but it'll be like that for a while because there will (most likely) be someone older than you who that insists that you prove yourself to them. Don't worry about them, you're fine just as you are.
