S/O to the school board.

Way to go school board. You are actually acting like there is a drug and alcohol problem. But for some reason this is really bothering me. STOP saying you know its a problem when the reality is that drug and alcohol abuse in our school, is wayyy down compared to past years. So good job on just figuring it out, about 2 years late. They always tell us how bad our grade is, they did in 8th grade now they are in 12th. So let me ask this, what makes you assume it or even look for it? Yeah one girl got in trouble at homecoming, but clearly she was stupid and didnt know how to handle herself. But clearly we've learned how to handle ourselves.

There is parents going to the school board meeting shouting that the school should drug test, search, educate etc. This to me is absolutely f-ing hilarious. Haha good parenting. Another s/o to the parents who went to the meeting, but couldnt be parents. If you think its a problem, do something about it dont ask for help. Thats just how i feel. The parents suck. Oh and about that drug testing, bring it on. I can think of a handful of kids who would fail. Last year, probably 30% of the seniors would have failed. Now it doesnt bother me, like if you wanna smoke by all means light that purp up, but i personally dont. I just dont like it. If you want to drug test us then dont take my parents tax money, tell those bad parents who dont have the time to talk to their kid, but have the time to attend the school board meeting to spend their own damn money on a drug test for their little baby. But that doesnt mean they have to treat us all like criminals. They told us for a month that we were the best senior class as far as spirit goes. Even Coach Palko said he thought we were the best student section he'd seen. But now we're criminals. Theyre all worried about everything, so we cant even have fun anymore. And im not even talking about alcohol or drugs, im talking about cheering at the football game. Its hard to cheer with 5 teachers standing in between us.

Having them tell us a problem is making me wanna do some drugs haha not really, but seriously if their goal is to stop it, getting people criminal records doesnt really help. What would they do with the drugtest anyway?

All im saying is to everyone, dont be scared, have fun, just dont get caught or bring shit to school. Please, do it for the rest of us who arent trying to be treated like criminals.

*Get off that immature and reach into the grown, i dont need your help ill reach my dreams on my own.

All about the Money

Money, Money, Money.  Everyone thinks about it. People who say they dont, either have more than they know what to do with, or theyre lying. I mean im in high school and money is already an issue. Paying for gas, food, golf, and saving up for other things. It doesnt really bother me, i like being able to get money, and i dont mind working. Who doesnt like having money?

But the one thing that gets me is people who complain about working minimum wage. Heres a tip: get a new job. Dont be stupid. If youre working cause either your parents are making you, or you work at a retail store to get a discount, fine. But if youre working because you are trying to make money to keep afloat on car payments and other things, youre just stupid for working for minimum wage. Noone should even listen to your complaints, because there are so many jobs that are for more than minimum wage. And dont say that nowhere is hiring, thats a lie too. I could get you three jobs right now if you really wanted me to, all higher than minimum wage. But one thing too is, i work hard for my money, but it pays off cause i make a good bit. Im not moping around a retail store for $7.25 an hour, im working hard for something close to almost $12 an hour. Im so sick of hearing people complain.

Ive had 4 different jobs in high school. Ive worked at Five Below(yes, i know. dont say anything. it sucked,) Andora, which is an upscale restaurant in sewickley, i used to caddy at Allegheny Country Club, and I currently work at Bravo! Restaurant at The Pointe. Only one of these jobs, Five Below, has been minimum wage, and i only worked there to shut my parents up. All three jobs are things people can do, if youre smart and get a decent paying job and work hard, youll make money. Which helps me cause my parents have all but cut me off. Stopped paying for clothes when i was like 16, stopped paying for golf, all that. All they really pay for is food, and insurance. Oh and they bought me my car, but it was cheap and it was really just to make it easier on them. I pay for gas, and naw its not cheap.

But for the record, if youre working for minimum wage, and you dont like it, it's your fault. Truth is, its not always about just working hard, its about working SMART. You think everyone that works hard is successful? Not even close, some of the hardest working people around make the least money. You cant tell me the hardest working person for a Fortune 500 company is the CEO. Not even close. Not by a longshot.

But now we come to the question. Can money buy happiness? My answer is yes, if you have enough. It takes a huge stress out of life. Most people work hard and grind because of they didnt then they wouldnt be able to pay for anything or even live. If you have enough money where everything is taken care of, and you can pay for everything you want, and do all the things you ever wanted to do, then why would you not be happy? People who say that money isnt important are gonna be the ones who when it comes to paying the bills, or paying for something they didnt necessarily plan to pay for, are gonna be mad, but i just laugh at them, because like i said, if you have enough money to pay for it, then its not even a second thought.

Get your $$$$.
Too much money aint enough money.*
