Status Quo

Sometimes you feel like an outsider, you know all the names, you know all the faces but, for some strange reason, you don't know them. You don't know the people. And you don't know how to be yourself amongst them. Why is this? Maybe shyness? Maybe they've been considered the "cool" kids for so long that you dont know how to act around them, you're afraid that they will judge you and that they won't accept you.

And sadly, even though you try to convince yourself otherwise, they sometimes think the same of you. They think you're not cool enough to say hi to, you're not popular enough to be their friend.

This divides us. It separates us into different groups. It makes us classist, elitest, selective. We create closed circles and people get along, socialise with people in their circle.

Why does this have to happen? It baffles me. It confuses me. It angers me. But it also traps me.
Because, try as i may, i am a teenage girl and i stick to the status quo.
