I am pretty sure that the last line was an afterthought.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
I think I see why teachers and other people have to repeat the same thing over and over to this person. S/he's not listening. Apparently hasn't learned Maya Angelou's lesson of childhood among adults: spread a handful of attention over your face before tuning out.
Punk rock!
DEEP.
How did you know this is a girl?
and THIS my friends, is why they can't write a fucking essay.
Wonder if that was the writer's last neve?
This post makes me sad because they obviously NEED to be in school. I'll be getting my credential in May and I am glad that I'll (hopefully) be able to make a difference to some students who may feel this way!
ver again. And it was at precisely that time time that she realized the surgery was less than successful. She had those horrible bluish bruises under both eyes that extended halfway down her cheek that she thought would fade in a week or two, but by Christmas.....
.....Oh. Wait a minute.....
Never mind.
Get pregnant and drop out. it works out so well for the vast majority of those who do it. Enjoy a life of under-achievement.
Ah teen angst...Behold the future of our society....
Three things:
1. At least teachers are still equated with people.
2. Overuse of profanity really makes it lose its punch.
3. If you'd been paying attention, child, you'd have learned that the word 'nerve' has an "r" in its middle
Spelling=F, handwriting=kinda cool.
And, I gotta say, that bitch Smith is getting on my fucking neves, too.
Tired of being harassed by your stupid mom?
Quit school. Move out. Get a job. Pay your own bills while you still know everything.
I've decided to pretend a kindergardner wrote this. It really lets me enjoy this more.
you know what rhymes really well with "fuck"...Fuck does
@Encased: good idea.
I'm convinced the vast majority of teenagers who complain about the misery of their lives have no idea they are not the first ones to experience normal teenage issues. Most of them eventually figure it out, but this writer (if she's older than 10) sounds hopeless. I'll try to be nice to her next time I'm going through the drive-thru, but I'd rather tell her to shut up, show some initiative, and put forth the effort to join the world of responsible adults.
PATHETIC.
The last one sounds like a porno scene with a teacher and some chicks named Neve--doing, you know what, it says right there.
There's probably no word in the English language that has as many meanings & uses as the good old F-word. But really, it's become so trite and boring from overuse. When a person sprinkles every sentence with one or more instances of it, it just makes me want to take a bar of Lava to their teeth.
When I was a teen, I started cussing like a drunken sailor because I thought it was cool & a unique thing to do. Back then guys did it, but not very many girls. It was the rebel thing to do.
I cleaned up my filthy language when I had a child. Child evolved into a language cop, getting after any of our friends who used "bad" words. It was kind of cute, kind of annoying.
Then child becomes a pre-teen and picks up profanity from friends & thinks it's cool and unique, the rebel thing to do.
I finally got so sick of it, I threatened to start talking like that around his friends if he didn't clean it up. Ha! Suddenly I became the coolest mom in town because I spoke their fucking language. What goes around comes around, I guess.
I agree, this kid needs to broaden his/her vocabulary horizons. There are so many words out there just waiting to be learned, written, and spoken. These new words can make you look even more expressive and intelligent. Overuse of the f bomb just makes you look like an uneducated, angry individual. But if that's the reputation you're going for...
I wish I could meet a bitch smith. I'm sure the experience would take my personal bitchiness to a whole new level of expertise.
(as spoken by the late Edward G. Robinson)
Yea! Yea! What's on my mind Yeaa.
Everybody tries it get me in trouble everyday. Ya Sure? Fuck People, Fuck their rules. See?
(as spoken by the late James Cagney)
I really hate when people (teachers)
say the same thing over and over and
over and over too many Fucking times.
<<Shove Grapefruit in wifes face>>

I really hate School but I still have to Fucking go? Dirty Double Crosser!
I really wany to drop out of school so Fucking bad, but my mother won't let me drop out of school! Made it MA! Top of the world!
(as spoken by the late Curly Howard)
hhh whoop whoop this bitch Smith is
getting on my fucking Noyves!
At least she used their properly.
So, how did the finder know this was written by a teenage girl?
Just curious.
I suggest medication. Works wonders
kid in play: good one.
Otherwise, I have no comment.
Oh..yes...I am curious, too, about the gender of the writer. How do we know it is a girl?
getting on your last neve.... Campbell?
I was actually quite surprised when I got to the Eff word- I really was thinking it was a first grader in time out, wallowing in the misery. I'm all in with Encased in Ice. Second grader, tops.
Everybody trys to get me in trouble every day.
Ohhhh, you poor little victim, you! I know. I can totally see how it's everyone else and not you. OVCOARSE it's not you.
I wonder what the author was going to write in the title at first, but then changed to ON.
I wonder if this was Found in the halls or dorms of an all-girls' school, thereby leading the Finder to the conclusion that it's The Poetry of a Teenage Girl.
This could of been me.
In gym class writing
funny thing is my gym teachers name was Smith haha
that's all I kept thinking about
: )
But clearly they found it in cali
I think it's funny, and I think you guys must have forgotten how it feels to be a teenager. She's overly dramatic and loves to swear. She's a regular teen. I guess you guys weren't like that at all. I'm sure you all probably never broke curfew and always appreciated your elders. She'll be fine. She'll probably look at her diary years from now, shake her head, and laugh.
@ laura: years from now she'll probably look back and laugh at how she acted, just like we're laughing at her now.
good comments all. Esp you, farmer. Love you.
Jolene..
could HAVE. not a criticism, but a lesson. Could HAVE been you.
This note sums up my attitude about work today... always getting in trouble and a boss who repeats everything and I can't quit because i got bills... and my mom would kill me. I thought life after high school was supposed to be different.
@ Cotton: I'm always bitchin'....but like so many of my friends, I dropped out of comm-college and never got my Associate Degree in Bitchsmithing.
The writer of this note, while woefully ignorant of spelling, capitalization, and punctuation, is on to something:
"Fuck people, Fuck their rules."
This kid is obviously more clever than she lets on.
Furthermore, I am pretty sure that language rules are indeed rules, so Fuck 'em!
hmmm. we all all know mona's a wordsmith, but today kinda coming across as a bitchsmith.
What's On My Mind
I wonder how my life turned into a soap dish.
You might think I love the soap because I keep holding it, because I won't let it go, but really it's just the mixture of lard and water that makes it stick.
Not too much water, just a fucking little bit.
I wonder whether horses squint. Do you happen to know?
Maybe I shouldn't have ordered the fries. Fruit was an option. First I ordered fruit, but before the waiter left, I said, "Wait, no, make that fries."
That Bitch Smith... that Bitch Smith can sing.
PMS. That's how you know it's a girl.
Whenever I see one of these teen notes, I always have to look at the finder's name to check if it was me who sent it in! High school hallways across the nation must be littered with these universal themes.
Whatever everyone says about this being a normal teen thing.. honestly, in my youth we weren't THAT angry. I was very rebellious and fought constantly with my mom, but this kind of generalized anger at everything and life in general is harder, sharper, uglier, more injurious. She may grow up and look back at the poem and laugh, or she may grow up and look at the scars from cutting, and cry.
@ Mountain Girl: I'm gonna one-up you in the cool mom category. I taught my kids the words and what they meant, so they'd know when they heard them.
I have to ditto all the school ones... 60 days till fucking freedom!! A university degree with a recession destroying the job market... so no work for me!!
I like the little twists inside the O in the title of this. it adds character.
Oh, yes, I also have to add that my first thought for who this "Smith" is was Winston Smith from the book '1984' by George Orwell. I've been reading it, that's why I thought of him.
Maybe they're referring to Winston's mother, just leaving him when he's not looking.
Ahh, such a sad little moron. "Bitch Smith" is the class genius, I'd bet.
Poor Miss Smith.
Poor Mom.
You're in my thoughts and prayers.
@Teacher in America.. It's true. I agree with that.
@ Night in gale: That's definitely a cool mom thing to do. But my kid would never listen to me or have faith that I had any idea what I was talking about. He learned the meanings through peer instruction and some mysterious means of media osmosis. He learned a lot about sex from President Clinton. It takes a village.
ahahaha i love teenage poetry..such sad fucks..teenagers.
I'm pretty sure this person NEEDS to stay in school.
with love,
dylan klebold.
I don't think dropping out of school at this point is a good idea, sweetheart.
At least learn the difference between to, too, and two.
I think any girl or boy attract to each other in teen age. We people not shows that but it is true every male need a female for sex and every woman need a man for sex it is a universal truth and we cannot neglect it. Girls are some times shy but she wants anybody push and suck her boobs and nipples and fuck her badly.
