Sk8er Boi

By Avril Lavigne.

I actually think she has some good singles out. She's not as bad as New Boyz, ya know. This song does have a nice beat and a pretty okay meaning to it. It sums up the basic boys and girls of today's society, BUT she did unfortunately make a few flaws.

Even if you're close friends with his/her ex, you don't approval from them. You need to seek your own approval and also the approval of the person you want to go after. Happiness only comes once every blue moon, and when it comes, and you miss it, you'll be even more pessimistic than before, but if you take the opportunity, you will be happy, even if the relationship fails. You will be happy being yourself.'''
