High school fears

 NO CREDIT is our biggest nightmare when the end of term roles around, because we miss way too much class.  Afraid of 50% on a test that means nothing but everything, cause for some reason a letter grade tells you more about someone than they can. 
A conversation with a boy who makes your palms sweat over the weather. 
Don't even get me started on someone catching you without that smile on your face. 
Irrational fears that won't matter at the end of the year, but hey it was all just high school. 

But for some high school was their whole life, and I think that's my biggest fear. 
Not hearing from your friend for a while and finding out through social media it's going to be a little longer until we see them again. 
I fear of a another grim day of walking down these hallways plastered with a reminder of how people feel about you. 
I don't fear death, I fear death that comes a little too soon. 



ps. I personally think we aren't ready to fear these things.

    Finding out through social media. This is my biggest fear too. And I agree, you're too young to have these fears.
