Again and Again

           Is being patriotic such a bad thing? If I want to hum the "The Star Spangled Banner" I should be able to! But no! The school thinks otherwise. Getting sent to the office once, no big deal. I don't care. I have a right to sing. But apparently that's an issue not being silent during the announcements. Obviously everyone sides with Ms. Narwin and it's not fair. I did NOTHING wrong!!! All I want is a new homeroom where I can hum the song and a new English class where I don't have to deal with boring Ms. Narwin.

           My parents don't even care no matter what happens. I try to tell them and they just don't care! At least my dad thinks I shouldn't let people push me around. And stand up for myself? That's exactly what I did. But again! I get in trouble even more! Of course I'm not gonna apologize! That's crazy! I'm being patriotic! There's nothing to apologize for. People just don't understand my side of the story.
