I wish I could say you were making me famous

My mother and I were arguing this morning.  She was talking about how I have lost friends, not gained them, in my high school career.  Our argument made me realize, and I know I can't blame all of it on others, but a lot of the friends that I have lost have been people that have talked poorly about me or just been mean.  Then I realized, freshman year I would have come up with a witty comeback for the rumor spreaders but now I don't even have the power to say that line "Keep talking about me.  You are making me famous."  At this point I can't fix the idiocy that is high school so I thought I'd write about it instead.
