I don’t want to be stuck here, being a good kid, getting good grades and going to school every single day and doing nothing else but what my parents tell me to do. I want to run away and travel the country, meet some cool people I’ll probably never see again, try everything, do some dumb s***, get hurt a few times- I want to do this before I get old and people expect me to be working every day even more, or before I could go to jail for doing something. I’ve never tried drugs or alcohol, never smoked or gone to an actual concert, and I know people will tell me it’s not worth it, but I want to know what it’s like. I don’t want to be so intimidated that I don’t talk to someone because I see them just smoking a cigarette. I don’t want to live like this forever, but I know I will. Because it hasn’t changed a bit and I don’t think it’s going to.

Smartest thing I ever did was move across the country as soon as I graduated high school. Now, 20 years later, I have a much better life than my high school friends who didn’t get the hell out of that small town.
Don’t do drugs, occasional drinking. Be a reckless teenager while you have the chance, but don’t go fucking up your life now. I’d say start the partying now and focus on life in college.
