Don't get down
When people make fun of you
Just ignore them
Make them think they are the fools

Never let them talk down to you
About your looks
How smart you are
Your weight
Nothing

Some people can be cruel
They want you to feel like the fool
Don't let them do that to you
Because you are worth more
Than they will ever be

Just move on
If they keep buggin' you
Just let it fly
You don't need there crud
if you say something back
They think they've won

So don't get down
Just think that they aren't worth your time
You have real friends out there
You just have to look in the right places
Look for people you trust
Look for the people who truly like you for who you are
And never forget that


Cold hands means a warm heart

Best advice I ever heard.

What is life without poetry and adventure?
"Little sister" is just another way of saying "Guardian Angel"!

How true, how true...and this is wisdom you can use your whole life -- because those people are out there forever.

A good message Julie, but darn it all,
if it isn't easier said than done.

You can please some of the people
some of the time.  etc, etc.
