sounded cool on the simpsons, didnt know it meant this! Whatever i was meant to have learnt I must have been away that day. I had a great time, whatever you guys problems were i hope you fixed em now! geez
As someone who has suffered depression for many years, as a gay teen back then, life was bad....this song I identified with pretty much tells how every gay, lesbian, and transgendered person felt at one time....Janis Ian hit it on the nail with this song...
This song always take me back to my teenage years, and it is so true and on point... Thank you Janis, you made me feel that I was not alone... Thank you very much....
This reminds me of 2nd grade when my class was supposed to make 5 valentines for their their 5 best friends. We made boxes for the cards left them on our desk. We all got up and passed them out to music.
I'm turning 17 in December. It's so true! I just started at the gymnasium and have to learn to find myself. It's hard to just be one person in the midst of everything, and be heard, and seen. But i have learned, that what to do, is find real friends, who will appreciate you everywhere, not just at school <3 Friends are everything, remember that girls, who go to gymnasiums/high schools too <3
such a good song. I was sitting and thinking about random stuff and it was then that this song came on the audio tv and I was stunned at the truth. heck im still 17 :) love this song. her voice is real calming...
oh what can you say when its your life, I was never overwhight work hard down to earth just on farm. Im off the farm now and love it, maybe now i can live. Pete Australia.
this song will always remind me of my sister, laurie. she loved it. she never could really hold a note, but i have affectionate memories of her singing it. summeres of the seventies. what a beautiful time of life. my mom and my sister. both beautiful in their own right. i miss them both.
Hope it all works out..

Time is the great equalizer.
The pretty get old and angry,
The outcasts always make better lovers
Because they appreciate it more.
It all balances out someway or another.
I remember this song as a little kid but never really listened to what it said.
funny how we grow older and the words make wayyy more sense.
