when we were little
everything was easy
life was infinite
we were carefreeas we got older
we have more responsibilitiessuddenly how our hair looked
or what we wore to school
or how much we weighed
was the most important thingwe had to worry about school
grades
boys
girls
looks
deatheverything that didn't seem to matter when we we're little
are the most important things to us nowand people wonder why teens are hurting themselves.
