I don't need your help.
I can do it on my own.
I don't need your help.
Just leave me alone.
I have enough problems.
I can take care of myself.
You left me when I was ten months
and came back when I was twelve.
I have my own job.
I haven't lied.
I haven't stole.
I am still attending school and for me that's a goal.
I make my own money.
I have great friends.
They have been here longer so don't even try to pretend.
I am more of an adult then you have ever been.

&quot;You&#039;ve got to learn to move on, because life will move on. If you don&#039;t move on, you&#039;ll just end up in over your head.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Never regret anything because at the time, it was exactly what you wanted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We accept the love we think we deserve.&quot;
