Look at me... look at me... I need the attention, oooh I'm punk rock I got some tattoos, I got some piercings. If I'm gonna get some piercings then I want everyone to see it...I don't need to advertise my punkness. A real punk doesn't need to show off...Its like a Karate man... the Karate man bleed on the inside. A real punk is punk on the inside.

Make yourself do something stupid so when you really do something stupid you won't feel so bad

A real punk is punk on the inside.

Parents don't understand kids and kids don't understand parents. My parents were divorced when I was really young and I went to live with my dad.
