This week I’ve really been looking back on my life. Yah, yah I’m only seventeen, but as far as life events go, the last few years were kind of dramatic for me. Lately, I’ve been having the strangest dreams, mixing people who used to be in my life, with people who are now and just CRAZY situations. I just wish I could make a statement to those a few years older than me. Go ahead, call me kiddo, oh so young, but I’ve learned more from the few-less events I’ve been through in life and I’m ok with being young, just don’t call me niave. Alot of the people I hang out with on weekends are alot older than me, probably by 8 or 10 years, so talking about school makes me feel immature, but really I am probably alot more educated than they are and in my opinion, therefore more mature. Anyways, Bell rang, so I’m out. I will follow up later. – JO

As you all probably know by now, I skipped a grade and I’m 16 (until October 3rd!!). I am always with peopel who are older than me, and they make me feel SO young. My best friends are turning 18 soon. 18? It still seems so so far away from me. I’m staying fro a fifth year, so I’m not stressing out about university and stuff yet. But I was at my sister’s house in Ottawa and went to a party with her, everyone was pretty much in college. I was talking to people and it came up that I was in grade 12, and they didn’t really think much of it, but they all started talknig about “when they were in highschool”. Until that point I felt fine, suddenly I was totally out of place. I’m still in that stage that they all look back on as stress-free and fun. And I just sit here and think, ‘I feel pretty stressed out, it’s going to get THAT much worse?’
To sum up; I’m younger than pretty much all my friends. Older people make what I’m doing feel pretty insignificant. And I, unlike you Jo, see myself as pretty naive. I don’t think I’m more/as mature as most people in this class even. But that’s not to say that you’re not, it only applies to me.
