Are we at war?

Well, I ammost days. Not in the sence that I originally took this topic to be in, but yes, I am at war. I'm at war with myself on some days. For example, today's war was: I want to come to class but I don't want to leave my room. Yesterday's war was: tell my friend her essay was... less than what I know she can write, or keep it in and spare her feelings. I think teenagers like myself are at war with something or someone most days of their lives. Not wars over terrorism or econony or oil, but things that perhaps seem to be a huge deal to us today, and yet mean nothing to us tomorrow. Things that may seem to be life or death problems in our lives. The truth is, recently I've discovered there are more important things than these stupid little wars with ourselves, and out parents, and our friends. Compared to some, my life is a walk in the park. I think I need to think about other peoples wars, the important ones. The ones about real things, not about teenage drama. So I ended today's war by going to class, and I'm going to try really hard tomorrow to not have another stupid war.
