the new school was gigantic
the old school was tiny

the new school had thousands of children
the old school had hundreds of children

the new school had enormous bullies
the old school had much more diminutive bullies

the new school was cramped
the old school was less crowded

the new school had mean nasty teachers
the old school had kind generous teachers

the new school gave out detentions
the old school gave out lolly pops

the new school we was the youngest
the old school we was the oldest

the new school have school buses
the old school had no school buses

the new school CHANGED everyone
the old school MADE everyone

the new school im mature
the old school i was immature

the new school is the key to my future
the old school is my past

yes, the new school is High School
yes, the old school is Primary School
yes, i have changed
yes, you will too
yes, you find out what ‘group’ you and your friends are
yes, you get judged very quickly, very easily
yes, everyone and everything will be different
yes, you will have new friends
yes, you’ll fall in and out of love
yes, you’ll be heartbroken more than once
yes, your life WILL change, no matter how much you don’t want it to
yes, high school is a living hell.
