What I learned in english 11 and comparing stories and videos that we've seen and read. I've learned in both Emotional Intelegence 2.0 and the teenage brain that its okay to have big emotions in our period of time. we might think that in this moment right now that its really not ok and we can let ourselves down a lot very easily. but its all about growing up and becoming the person that you always want to be, and that is yourself. we all have had moments where we can't even handle ourselfs. we've had moments where everything is ok. though both of these, i've learned that you should try to check in with yourself. Were in the middle of devolpment in our bodies and at the same time we have so much stuff going on all the time in our lifes. for me personally, its helped me alot to just take a few minutes to clear my mind up and just try to plan what I want to happen each day. Sometimes it doesn't happen. But at least I really try to make things happen but our lifes is just so busy. take things one day at a time and don't overwhlem yourself with everything.

I started getting really upset with her and I told her to back off from him. i was having a really big attitude about it. I eventually started crying to my parents and I told them that i wanted her to leave. after the party, she started hanging out with him 24/7 and then they eventually started dating. today me and him talk every now and then and we just look back at our elementary school years and laugh.
