Drama, drama, drama - high school is where it happens.
Girls call each other hostile names, thinking its okay,
Friends today, enemies tomorrow.
Things like boyfriends and girlfriends, seem to be borrowed.
Permission or not, yes it is still wrong.
Sex and pot? You tell your parents "I am not!"
They believe you, but only until you're caught on the spot.
Drama, drama, drama - high school is where it happens.

This is true; high school is dramatic. However, I would have liked to see this expressed with more variety, maybe a symbol or two. I feel like it is stated very plainly instead of poetically. Keep writing!
