PUBLISHED: February 27, 2008

While growing up we all face challenges in life. Some of these challenges come from other people. During high school this can be very true. When I was in 11th grade I came into contact with a group of people that, as I look back now, I wish I had never met. They were my first real experience of what one would call drama in my life.

The drama I faced was pretty much unavoidable. My first girlfriend at a new high school and I had just broke up, so sides were taken. Instead of everything just blowing over as responsible teenagers might do, threats and phone calls were made. Nothing really became of it all, just a few harsh words exchanged. Whenever Id wake up in the morning and just feel like I didnt want to go to school just so I didnt have to deal with it, one song I had heard recently would always pop into my head. Till I Collapse just made me feel like I didnt care what anyone from that group thought, and that I could take on the world if I actually needed to.

That song gave me more courage than any pep talk could have. In the end, of course, all of the drama ended. It actually stopped before high school was over. Once the group realized that I wasnt worried about what they said or thought, the drama just blew over. Id hate to credit the end of the drama and my courage to a song, but Im probably not the first.
