• Your best friend becomes your enemy. Lollipops turn into cigarettes. The innocent ones turn into sluts. Homework goes in the trash. Mobile phones are being used in class. Detention becomes suspension. Soda becomes vodka. Undies turn into g-strings. Kisses turn into sex. Likes to loves. Remember when high meant swinging on the playground? When protection meant wearing a helmet? When the worst thing you could get from boys is cooties? Dads shoulders were the highest place on earth... and he was your hero? Your worst enemies were your siblings. Race issues were about who ran the fastest . War was only a card game. The only drug you knew was cough medicine. Wearing a skirt didnt make you a slut. The only things that hurt you were skinned knees and goodbyes that only meant until tomorrow? ...and we couldn' wait to grow up.
