A wise old woman
See, kid, you've got pepole on your side, there's no reason to cry about what they say. Maybe for today its bad, but tomorrow you've gotta get up and be glad for all you have.
You wont ever be alone, you'll have friends to see, they wont be gone after graduation. You should know that they'll be there if you are scared, just be prepared to breathe.
\So just be yourself, dont put it up against others, that'll only make you feel like you've messed it all up.
And, the best thing that this wise old lady told me? It's to breathe, you can control that, your actions, and thoughts, so keep positive and keep breathing in and out.
Yeah, I'm pretty lucky to have a wise old woman watching out for me.
