You Know I'm No Good

“I cheated myself/ Like I knew I would/I told you I was trouble/ You know that I’m no good.” -- Amy Winehouse, “You Know I’m No Good” 

The recent passing of singer Amy Winehouse inspired me to write this post. Reading the coverage made me think of my earlier “Bad Kids” post, especially the lyrics I included here. Too many kids think that they’re no good, that they’re bad kids. And far too many of the kids who think that way turn to drugs and alcohol to ease their pain.
