The Life In A Teenage Girl's Eyes

Chapter 11: My Social Life

Ok, so you know how people obviously have a social life with everyone around them? That's totally normal. That's part of life. Me, I am perfectly social and outgoing. Although, I am sure that there are times when we feel that we fail with certain people. Like, take me as a example. I got bullied in school. I couldn't fit in with the kids in my school. They didn't like me because I wasn't "popular". Also because I didn't wear the same slutty outfits that some wore. I was one that preferred regular, casual clothes. Nothing wrong with that, right? Of course there isn't. They didn't like me because I was like the type of kid that liked things that others didn't. Like how I started to have a strong feeling for "One Direction". When they came out 3 years ago (while I was in 6th grade), I loved them. Ok, there I admit it. Crucify me. Happy now? (Sighs). I hate when kids bully others all because they haven't heard of a certain thing, or that they judge them because they don't like the same thing as them. Like, hey, leave them alone. Everyone is entitled to like whatever they want. They have no right to judge others. Different strokes for different folks. No ones perfect. Being different is a good thing because look at the facts. God made us separately. We are all different because we can be unique. If we were all the same people, the world would be extremely boring. Imagine the world without talented people? Imagine the world without having professional people that are great at medical?! Picture that. Everyone is going to grow up and become whatever they want to become. No one could stop you from achieving your goal. Whether your the future doctor, dancer, singer, fire fighter, anything. Just because they keep giving you bad vibes is because they are miserable themselves to see you strive for success. As soon as I said that I wanted to become a Pediatrician, or a Therapist, they looked at me like I came from another planet. What's your problem? Are you jealous or something?! I used to get bullied too with my grades. No one found out all them thank god. When I was younger, I didn't do so well in school. Everything was difficult for me, and extremely overwhelming. I had some learning problems. I admit that again. No body's perfect. Kids used to look at my school papers and say to me "Ashley, how could you get this and that grade". My lowest grade EVER, was a 25%. In math class. I was a terrible math student. I was terrible at everything. I wasn't the perfect student that everyone thought I was until they took a glance at my paper. My teachers however, they used to give me small lectures too in support class. Teachers are supposed to teach their students. I understand that. But that doesn't mean to bring their confidence to another level where it's decreasing. That's what they used to do to me. My peers weren't making things better either. They laughed at me. To my face. I never felt or even knew the feeling of always knowing information in class, or key words until I entered middle school. Grade 8. That world opened up for me so much. I had a much better set of teachers (as I have mentioned before). They are seriously miracle workers. The best choice I've ever made.
