Update Twenty

Okay... I've been holding this in and covering it up for way too long now.

One day I was at school. I was outside on the field with my friend and my guy friends. My guy friends were playing soccer with some other boys, so my friend and I decided to join.

But...

One boy said to us, "You can't play with us!"

So we both asked at the same time, "Why not?"

And he replied, "Because you're girls and girls aren't allowed in the game!"

That was really weird to us, because usually they would have no problem.

We were mad nonetheless. Me especially, since it was my first time actually playing soccer with them - not sitting out on the sidelines for once.

I was so enraged that I just wanted to break ten billion swords in half!

Stereotypical judgement is my top pet peeve. By gender, and by label.

I hate it all with a burning passion! Ugh!

If you've ever been called anything rude because of your gender or your interests and likes, please read this, and keep in mind:

There is no such thing as a nerd, or a geek, or a popular person, or anything!

You are what you are, and you are beautiful. Trust me.

I am taken down by so many of these words...

Geek

Freak

Nerd

Snobby

Selfish

Idiot

Ugly

Fat

Okay, I get that I'm not the prettiest, but I'm average. I get that I'm kind of heavy, but I wouldn't kill someone if they tried to pick me up.

And...

No.

Just no!

There is no way anyone is bringing me down anymore. There's no way anyone's gonna bring you down.

You know why?!

Because I've grown. I've learned lots of things. And so have you, I'm sure.

I've learned to embrace who I am. I've learned to only think about my good qualities.

I take geek, nerd, and weird as compliments!

I don't value anyone's negative input/opinion on me or about me.

Constructive criticism is supposed to be you telling a person what they can improve on RESPECTFULLY.

It's not telling a person what they're bad at.

Everyone makes mistakes, and everyone learns from them.

You don't judge people. You don't put a label on them.

It's a disgusting act and it makes me sick to my stomach to think that anyone can put a label on anyone!

And I know what so many people say; "It's part of this world now, so get over it!"

Well, you know what?!

I'll repeat what I said earlier: I don't care about your opinion! You're two cents in the conversation doesn't matter to me if it's negative, because negativity never helps the situation.

I don't care if it's part of this world.

I still hate it!

I'm sorry!!! Actually, no. No, I'm not sorry at all.

I especially hate it when people call you by a label. Like, "Popular," or, "Unpopular."

It. Is. DISGUSTING!!!

Like, stop!

Popular is a thing, but it doesn't mean you have to be rude to everyone except for your friends! Popular isn't being rich or all that crap! Popular is being friends with everyone. It's getting along with everyone. It's being known by everyone! And it should be to be known by everyone in a good way.

Geek? No. Nerd? No.

How about, "You're someone that likes some things that don't really peak my interests, but we can still be friends!"

That's how I met my friends. Sometimes, we don't even know who or what the other is talking about!!

So...

Yeah.

That's all.

I don't know if this would be counted as a rant generally, but I felt so heavy hearted writing this, it certainly felt like a rant to me.

Thanks if you actually read all the way here. Sorry if I sounded offensive or rude in any part of this...

Bye...
