This fear transformed me. Constantly stressed and distracted, I stopped worrying about classes. Too embarrassed to
admit to teachers or my family what was happening, I quietly dropped from an A student in 8th grade to C student just a
year later. My definition of success changed just as dramatically. To me, a good day at school was no longer about
doing well in class. It was simply about getting home without being hassled. To achieve this goal, I learned to blend in to
the crowd- to look, talk, and act like the popular kids. First, I changed my clothes and hairstyle. Then I started behaving
differently, hanging out with new "friends" and teasing the few kids who fit in worse than me. By the end of my freshman
year, I escaped being at the bottom of the social ladder, but I also gave up on being a good student.

thats harsh

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
