I wish America would stop judging and criticizing teens and instead, try to understand the battles they have to fight every day.

It's football all day on Sunday. I wish we had football every day; that would make me way happier. Why can't we have that? You've got all these teams! Why can't we just play a Monday game, a Tuesday game, a Wednesday game?

I would hate to be on a plane every day.

I wish I could be behind the wheel for every stunt.

Every day I think, 'Gosh, I wish I could be like George Carlin, Bill Maher: I want that edge.' But every time I start to get that edgy thing, I get kind of mean.

It doesn't hurt. Nothing hurts except the small smiles and blushes that flash across the room like tiny sparrows.
