I am Meg.

I am an introvert.

My parents made me start going to a public school. They're making me learn and talk to people my age.

I've just turned sixteen and have never had romantic occurrences.

I'm good at math and sit alone at lunch.

I've found that teenagers are interesting. The way they interact with each other and those outside of their groups is very strange to me.

These groups consist of athletic young men, girls with large breasts and similar noses, those that carry books everywhere, those that wear dark clothes, some that wear cloaks and hats, and a last group that carries a book called the Bible.

The athletic young men, or jocks as I have found out they are called, go out with the girls with large breasts and similar noses or the popular girls. The teenagers who seem to always have some sort of book with them are nerds and geeks. They do not go out with anyone and are beaten up and forced to do others' homework. I find this odd. There are two groups who I have yet to discover many differences. They wear dark clothes and have long, pale faces. They are referred to as goths and emos. Another group is close to that of the nerds/geeks, but this group wear cloaks and hats to school, yelling at each other about the latest war game. They are called gamers. A final group refers to a book called the Bible and talk about how you must repent; they are called Jesus freaks. They always dress modestly and have guitars and tambourines.
