All my life I've been known as a polite kid. Sometimes I wonder if there's something wrong with me. Why am I so polite? I recently heard a song on Pandora.com by a band from New Zealand. The lyrics of the song express very well the position I am in. Don't smoke I hate drugs Don't laugh at dirty jokes I have a mom And a dad The only ones I've ever had And I want to know if I'm falling apart And I have a hero that I'll follow to the end. I often hear people talk about their problems and the difficulties they face and find that I am unable to relate to them. I have never been offered drugs, nor have I ever been in trouble with the law. My parents love me and my brothers and sisters. I always got good grades. And I wonder why. Why am I different from so many others? It's not because of money or material things; I never had much money to spend, except what I earned working with my father in his business. I've never had the newest, nicest clothes either. But what I had were the values, the morals that my parents had taught me. They raised me to know the difference between right and wrong and then go beyond that knowledge and do the right thing: something worth more than any amount of money or popular appearance..
