Who's pretty
Who's hot
Who's a geek
Who's not
Homework, quizzes, tests, and books
Worrying about grades
Worrying about looks
Figuring out who you friends are
Wishing on the brightest star
Hanging out at the mall
Passing notes in study hall
Crushes, boys, broken hearts
Finding out you aren't that smart
Football games, Friday nights
Phone calls, stupid fights
Trends, fashion, fads and such
Starting not to care so much
Parties, fun nights, hanging out
Learning how to take your route
Depression, stress, big mistakes
Learning to give and not just to take
Biology, gym class
Trying hard just to pass
Detention, dress code
Bigger backpack, bigger load
Weekends, big plans
Sports games, Devil fans
Labels, hate, discrimination
Art, writing, new creations
Lockers, classes, teachers, cliques
Skipping school, faking sick
High school, lots of fun
Cherish it until it's done!
Author notes
Yeah, in case you were wondering about the part where it says "Devil fans"; my school's mascot is the Red Devil, so it makes more sense if you go to my school.

Alright, well I read the firstv 8 lines, then I stopped because I realized you didn't read my rules, which would be a good thing to do if you're entering a contest. I'm going to dq this poem, but feel free to read the rules and enter again.

This is excellent my friend! You seem to have incorporated just about every facet of high school life into your work. This work displays a very lively brain, maturity, and a clarity of thought that is outstanding in someone so young. You show great promise as a writer and I look forward to reading more of your stuff. Well done!
