"Find your theme for your Wattpad Revolt: Express your outrage and challenge the norms!"

In this Wattpad Revolt, your power lies in your words. Just like Jeanne, who started this movement to break the chains of social norms, you have the chance to express what outrages you and open people's eyes to the injustices, discrimination, and misconceptions that surround us. The world is not black and white; it's filled with diversity, and it's this diversity that we need to celebrate, defend, and make heard.

But before you write, you need a theme. A subject that touches you, a fight that speaks to you. I'm here to guide you through ideas and inspirations to help you choose what will make your voice heard and contribute to this movement.

1. Break the chains of "normality" and stereotypes

Society loves to put everyone into boxes. They tell you how to think, how to love, how to dress, and even how to behave. All of this is supposed to represent "normality," but what does that really mean? Who decided what's normal and what's not?

Ideas for themes:

Gender stereotypes: Why do girls have to love pink and boys play soccer? How can we free people from the social expectations tied to their gender?Beauty and body diversity: Challenge the imposed beauty standards and celebrate all shapes, sizes, and colors.Cultural differences: Why are cultural differences often judged? How can we learn to appreciate them rather than fear them?Homophobia and transphobia: Challenge the idea that love must be between a man and a woman. How do we fight against LGBT+ hatred and break the taboos around it?

Story example: A young girl chooses to dress as she wishes, despite criticism from her classmates and family. Through her journey, she realizes that freedom lies in accepting her true identity, without conforming to others' expectations.

2. The fight for equality and justice: Exposing discrimination

In this world, not everyone starts from the same place. Discrimination is everywhere, and it's time to expose it. Some people's rights are violated just because of their identity, choices, or background. But everyone has the power to fight for equality.

Ideas for themes:

Racism: How can we eliminate judgments based on skin color or origin? Highlight the racial discrimination that exists everywhere.Women's rights: Write about the fight against violence against women, wage equality, or the right to abortion.School bullying: Why are some people persecuted just because they are different? How can we take a stand against bullying?Economic inequality: Access to education, decent housing, healthcare... How do we expose social inequalities that trap people in poverty?

Story example: A character of foreign origin fights to be accepted at a new school but faces mockery and discrimination. Through their story, they show that they are not just a label, but a person, just like everyone else.

3. False norms and their impact on mental health

Society's expectations have real consequences on the mental health of young people. The constant pressure to be "normal," to fit an idealized image, creates invisible suffering. This is a topic that needs to be addressed, to break the taboo, and show that not everyone needs to follow the same path to be happy.

Ideas for themes:

The weight of social expectations: How can the pressure to be "normal" make us unhappy? How to break free from this spiral?Suicide and depression: Open a discussion about mental health, how to spot the signs, and find support.Social anxiety: Why do some people have trouble fitting in or being themselves? How do stereotypes and judgments exacerbate this?

Story example: A character suffers from social anxiety due to the norms imposed by their peers and society. Through their journey, they learn to accept their difference and find the strength to make friends and free themselves from expectations.

4. The struggles for the future: Activism and social change

It's time to act, and it's up to us to raise our voices for a more just world. If injustices exist, it's also because many close their eyes. Activism is a powerful weapon, and through words, we can make a difference.

Ideas for themes:

Environmental activism: How to respond to environmental crises? How can we protect the planet for future generations?Refugee and migrant rights: Expose how refugees are treated and break the stereotypes surrounding them.Commitment to equality: How to fight for a world without discrimination, where rights are equal for all, regardless of identity or origin?

Story example: A group of young people gathers to organize protests and awareness campaigns on issues they care about, like refugee rights or the environment. Together, they find creative ways to fight against injustices.

5. Personal stories: Testimonials and life journeys

You don't have to write fiction to expose injustices. Sometimes, the best way to make your voice heard is to share your own experience. Your story, your struggles, your challenges, and your resilience can touch others and inspire those going through the same thing.

Ideas for themes:

Your own journey against discrimination: Share your experience, how you fought against judgments, mockery, or injustice.Family and friendship relationships: Write about how relationships with others can be influenced by social pressure, and how to find the strength to break toxic ties.Identity quest: How did you find your place in a world that imposed norms on you? How did you build yourself outside of the boxes?

Story example: A character writes a letter to their future self, recounting how they overcame years of bullying to find themselves and how they learned to accept who they are.

Conclusion: Make your Wattpad Revolt resonate!

Choose your theme, express yourself. Whether you choose fiction, testimony, or poetry, never forget that your voice is important. What you write can have an impact, challenge prejudice, and help change things.

Ready to write your story? Remember that "normality" is just an illusion, and it's together, with our words, that we can break this false reality and open the doors to a fairer world. Join the Wattpad Revolt and make your pen heard!

I'd like to clarify that the examples I gave, like gender stereotypes or inequalities, are often among the most discussed topics, but there are many other important subjects that also deserve to be heard. The goal is not to limit ourselves to what's "popular," but to open the door to all injustices, even those we often forget or ignore. Every theme matters, and sometimes it's by addressing less talked-about topics that we truly move things forward. Wattpad Revolt is all about giving visibility to what's often forgotten, talking about everything without fearing to disturb.
