    i hear ya man. im 13. so far in my life i have had the pressure to be skinny just like my friends. i never fit in no matter how hard i try. for example: one day it was valentines day. i thought about getting the popular girls goodie bags, but i had no money. i was so desperate that i acyually stole it from my sister.=(. the goodie bags had candy and a pink light up pen. the next day at school, at the lockers i saw them and thought it was my perfect chance. so i said happy valentines day and gave it to them. they ddidnt even say thanx. they just laughed like it was a joke. as they were walking away, they went to a trashcan and slammed the bags in there, laughing again. i started to feel tears on my cheeks and ran to the restroom. i sat down by the sinks an cried like id never cried before.

    You don't know my name

    you don't know anything about me

    I try to play nice

    I want to be in your game

    The things that you say

    You may think I never hear about them

    But word travels fast

    I'm telling you to your face

    I'm standing here behind your back

    You don't know how it feels

    To be outside the crowd

    You don't know what it's like

    To be left out

    And you don't know how it feels

    To be your own best friend on the outside looking in

    If you could read my mind

    You might see more of me than meets the eye

    And you've been all wrong

    Not who you think I am

    You've never given me a chance

    You don't know how it feels

    To be outside the crowd

    You don't know what it's like

    To be left out

    And you don't know how it feels

    To be your own best friend on the outside looking in

    Well, I'm tired of staying at home

    I'm bored and all alone

    I'm sick of wasting all my time

    You don't know how it feels

    To be outside the crowd

    You don't know what it's like

    To be left out

    And you don't know how it feels

    To be your own best friend on the outside looking in

    You don't know how it feels

    To be outside the crowd

    You don't know what it's like

    To be left out

    Yes. Whenever someone close to me wouldn`t tell me a secret and that`s all she would talk about with someone else. I felt like I was on the outside because they wouldn`t let me in. But I was looking in because I wanted to know what they were talking about.

    Also when my friend passed away, I felt on the outside because I didn`t WANT to be "in the inside". Meaning I didn`t WANT it to be true. But I was looking in, no matter how much I refused to.

    Okay, What I said didn`t really make sense, sorry.

    When I was a kid, my parents never got along well. I always tried to tell them to stop quarreling like two year old, but they would never listen, and kept on arguing. Thus, I felt "outside" because they just wouldn't listen, but I also felt that I was looking in (because I was).

    All the time, then I knock on the door, and they let me in. Well most of the time anyways. If you stand outside and stare, sometimes people freak.

    All the time. I become a fly on the wall and watch everyone buzz around in total turmoil. It's fun to study people.
