Growing up in the 21st century,
I was taught that I couldn't be myself.
Whether it was at school, in public, or even at home.
So many things have changed since the late 70's.
Technology becomes even more dangerous everyday.
Kid's become more disrespectful.
And so many people are dying.
In this generation we have taught each other
That there are standards to fit in.
Ever heard those people who say:
"Your size doesn't matter",
Yet they only hang out with size 0's?
"You're beautiful/ handsome just the way you are",
Yet are only seen with attractive people.
If you want a message to pass on,
You have to set an example.
