this is the worst song I have ever listened to in my life. It's not that I don't like the tune--in fact, I love it--It's just that it brings back a lot of dreadful memories that I had as a child. truth is, I never really had a genuine friend in my life who was there to guide me and build me up. Instead, these people all turned against me when they were around my opponents. I'm so glad that I don't see them anymore. Now college is about to kick off in a year or two, and I want to apply to one of the good colleges in california, and I don't want to go out of state, so here I am worried that I might run into the former rivals from years ago. So should I just not follow my dream because some people are standing in the way? Besides, they can do a lot worse. I hope that they have all changed over the years. I have, and I expect them to. If not, then they will be able to do me harm. That's why I don't want to apply to the same colleges as them. I can try, as long as I won't ever run into them when I'm around campus. I don't even want to know where they are.
As to how this song relates to the message in this post, well... I have been betrayed. I don't even know if I should call it that, since the friendships that I had in the past were not really sincere. I was trying to be friendly with everyone else, and so did they. But beneath those charming smiles was a heart full of poison.

The time between childhood and college is full of many experiences and a lot of changes for most people.
For those who go away from home to college, the majority are in general making one of the biggest breaks of their lives--they are moving into a whole new era of life. Few bring much with them except boxes of keepsakes and suitcases of new clothes.
I'd assume it was a starting over from a clean slate for everyone. If, somewhere down the road, something comes up--deal with it. Otherwise, enjoy your new life. You don't have to make friends with anyone.

then how do people usually get jobs then? i'm pretty sure you're asking,"Really?" isn't it through good friends that you get some jobs in case you can't find any? I'm an only child, and I just need someone to be in my life so that I don't have to be lonely all the time. My friends are busy at the moment, all the time. They have so many assignments for their ap classes. And I heard from one therapist that if you don't start making friends now, it'll be harder for you. but i'm starting to doubt that because all of you have said that you've all gone your separate ways so there must be change. i hope i can find a few good friends in life.

College changes things for everyone, even people who have behaved badly in the past... Example, I went to a hs with a lot of rich kids and cliques and I was never in one, just had a few close friends as I was pretty quiet.
I went to community college for 2 years, than transferred to a larger university. I saw one of the snottier, pretty girls from one of the cliques in one of my larger classes, but never paid much attention to her. One day she tentatively came up to me and said, "Hi TB...um, I'm ______, do you remember me? We went to the same hs." I was thinking, you have to be kidding me. I smiled at her and said "Hi ____ , of course I remember you [never speaking to me ONCE]. Hope you are doing well!" and walked out. I assume she wanted class notes or something from me...I know she still hung around with the same group of girls from hs in college (hearts full of poison is a great phrase), so why talk to me NOW? In two years, she was the only girl from that group I ever saw.
My point is, don't let some nasty kids from your past ruin your future! My guess is you are applying to larger universities and you really might not see as many as you think (if any at all), but if you do, ignore them...and I bet they have their own issues at this point, too...sounds like they did back then as well. But by college they should have other things to focus on. Plus, you will be meeting tons of new people and making new friends.
Apply to great school and focus on your future, it's what most important...don't let some losers from the past bring you down, you deserve more!

thanks for the word of encouragement, tractionbeam0610.

I think your therapist means, learn how to make friends?
