My First Post

Hello those of you who are reading. I'm glad you made it to my page. Allow me to introduce myself; My name is Isaac. No last name for internet safety reasons, I'm sure you guys understand. I felt like I am a sort of different 17 year old. Every day I take a look around me and I notice things about my generation that almost makes me sad. I'm not saying I'm a perfect kid, far from it. No one is completely perfect.

My life at school is okay, I guess. I have a set of friends and enemies, just as everyone else. I think what differs me from the rest of my peers is that I was raised a little differently than others. I have lesbian parents, not the "traditional" mom and dad. To be honest, I think they have done an excellent job at raising me, and my parents' friends seem to agree as well. But sometimes I look at how my peers around me act, and react to what's around them, and some of it is shocking, to me at least.

At school I am neither popular nor unpopular, I think. I guess thats why my social life isn't all too great. But it's better than some other kids I know. Sometimes I feel sort of sad for some of the kids I have come across. Pot heads, gang members, and kids who are border-line insane just surround me every day. I've been asked countless times if I smoke weed or drink. I tell them no, that I don't and I have a big tolerance for it. I understand that weed and alcohol can make one feel good, but my life is already happy, and I don't need something artificially made to make me feel that way. Especially something that will end up harming my body in the long run.

I'm not saying all kids I know are like this, not at all. Some of the kids I have met are actually very intelligent. And I'm not claiming that I'm any smarter either. But the way my generation is turning out may not be for the best, trough my eyes at least. Throughout the course of my not too long life, I have come to learn many things about people. I've always had some sort of...understanding. It's almost as if I have always been able to read peoples emotions, and sometimes see right through their lies and even get them to tell the truth. I have done it plenty of times. I hold a lot of secrets about the people I know, and I've always kept them locked up. In my point of view, being trustworthy is one of the most important things someone can be.

My relationship status isn't anywhere near that of a typical high school teenage boy. I've only ever had one real girlfriend. It was a long distance relationship, so already you can tell it didn't work out well. But she was a lot to me, and being my first love, 6 months of being with someone halfway across the country isn't too bad. Since then I've been single but open to relationships, but as always, no one seems to be interested in a person like me. It doesn't bother me too much, I have a goal in life, and friends to talk to that keep me busy.

As we all know, whether we like it or not, everyone has a label in high school. I have yet to hear mine, which is kind of funny since I'm a Jr. I've been called many things ranging from "Awesome" to "Faggot" but I don't let these words stick to me, since I'm the only person who knows to the full extent who I am. And being so, I've decided to give myself my own label. Judging by my point of view of others' points of views, I've taken it upon myself to be known as "That Kid."

That kid, who doesn't smoke, drink, or go around having sex with a bunch of girls just for the heck of it. That kid who not too many really knows about. That kid who does all of his work in class, and sleeps as if it were nothing. That kid who doesn't socialize with too may people. Pretty much, I'm just that kid. If you know me, you like me, and if you don't, you don't. But then again, that's from my perspective.
