I'm eighteen in the tenth grade
Graduation is not my option
I fear the grown up life
Bills, babies, and real love
I would hate to make bad decisions,
hurting people I love in the process
Getting out of high school means
facing up to my fears
I think I'll just curl up in the crib
and suck my thumb for the rest of my life

I hate telling kids in my class my age..

Wow, this is touching and I can really understand you... I hope you'll be able to face your fears soon, though. I can relate to them, but I think there are things in life that are really worth it all
Thank you for your entry.

really, being out of high school isn't half bad. The key is to have a plan. Don't listen to people who say to only think about the present. have a plan, and carry it out.
