Poem by Amber Rainer<\/p>\n

School is cool when you want to get away for 8 hours,
\nSchool is lame if you have to sit there and do work,
\nWhen your parents hate you and you begin to cry, well go to school becuse they will never think to find you there,
\ni love school now that i think about it, my parents hate me and my sisters dis own me so really who cares about going to school and being popular,
\nwhen you have to go to feel loved where people do not look at you in discust,
\nschool is cool and i go to get away from being abused!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
