You know all the names of the members to your favorite band or how much pimples ****.
You know that John is the cutest guy in school and that you are not the prettiest girl.
You know that your cousin Susie is a snob and that you want to be a journalist when you grow up.
I guess you don't know much at fifteen.
You don't know how bad things are.
You don't know that your best friend has scars on her right thigh.
You don't know that Annie in 3rd period has depression.
You don't know that your uncle is drinking his problems away.
You don't know how hard it is to survive.
You don't know that your mom can't sleep.
You don't know that your dad is trying so hard.
You still won't know at sixteen or seventeen or eighteen but someday you will.
Someday you'll know how bad things are.
But for now, I guess you don't know much at fifteen.
