Dear Classmates

Respect is not just given. It's gained. Unfortunately a lot of people in this high school expect respect to just be served to them on a silver platter while they treat everyone else around them like dirt. These are the people who won't go any further than the Campbell River welcome sign. The few that are able to escape this little town will be smacked in the face by the harsh reality of the adult World. You don't get respect unless you give it.
The petty little things you snicker and laugh about won't even exist in your mind because you're too busy cleaning up the mess you've made. You won't have your friends to back you up, they won't all be there on the weekend not able to suppress the pressure that surrounds them.
You'll probably look back on high school as the best days of your life. That's quite sad because if feeling important in high school was all you had then what was the rest of your life really worth? Hopefully you'll look back on your high school and remember all the shitty things you said and did. Maybe you'll regret hurting all of those people who never did a single thing to you. Maybe you'll realize every immature action you ever made was just you trying to make yourself feel like you're worth more.
What I don't understand is why you would put so much effort into building your little kingdom in high school when it's just going to crash down in 4 years. After that you'll be too tired to build another one. You'll still think you're the shit but your army isn't there to defend your kingdom. The only person living in your castle is yourself. 
So go ahead. Continue pushing others down. Have fun trying to feel some sort of self worth by being cruel to others. Keep on sucking up to the teachers who worship you and have a fantastic time in the real world where your actions won't go by without some type of consequences.
