Be A Girl

Peer Pressure.

Reason #24 I'm writing this: I love you!

Hi! *someone throws a shoe at me* OKAY OKAY! Chill let me explain! *dodges another shoe* I HAD SCHOOL!! GEEZ CHILL! 

*sigh* Just let me explain here! I didn't 'ditch' you people! I can never do that! I had school, you know? That torturing method they've been ever since Eve and Adam did whatever they did? Yea, that thing! So I've been trying SOOO hard to update lately and for the first time ever, I literally don't have time to open my computer. It took me a whole week to write this so sorry I'm late.

Apperently while I was busy fighting off evil teachers and vicious assignments, I got asked by different people to do a chapter about..... you know. And I  just have to get this out.

I CAN'T WRITE ABOUT THIS!

No! You don't understand! I can't write about the naughty! It's not... just no! *shakes head stubbornly and pouts* I'm not talking about this!

What? WHy! HOW! Why do you want to know about how a thing gets into a thing and then this thing and the thing form a thing and 9 months later BAM! Look who's here? Why do you even want to know?

So no, sorry can't do.

But this does bring my attention to one important thing, I need help. I know this is too much to ask, but if anyone ever wants to write something and share it with us on here? Please? I'd be the most grateful giraffe there is! I swear! I've just been so busy lately and I want the updates to stay as regular as possible ...plus, as I've noticed lately there's some topics that I can't cover... ever! So please, if you're interessted please contact me :)

Anyway back today's chapter. Today's chapter is about Peer Pressure:

Don't give me that look, there's good shit in this chapter just wait and see!

As you all know, I hate, hate, hate, hate HATTTEEEEEEE cigarettes. Not because they are unhealthy. Or because they make your teeth hideously yellow (I wouldn't care less!) but because they smell like chimney poop! Seriously! I don't give a christmas present if you're craving a cigarette right now or not! DON"T SMOKE WHILE I'M WITH YOU! I DONT WANT TO SMELL THIS SHIT!

^^ See, right now, I'm quite sure 80% of the people who do smoke (or like people who smoke) are trying so hard not to feel embarrassed/ashamed/or like something is wrong with them. See what I did there? I made you feel bad about somethig you were already okay with just a minute ago.

That is how peer pressure happens people. You don't attack the person, you attack the things they do. And as teens, we seriously want to fit in. Hell all humans want to fit in but we need to fit in. So once someone okay and cool says something you do is a 'no-no' you automatically feel the need to stop doing it! And that it's terribly wrong and you start bullying yourself. "I need to stop this" you might tell yourself. "I need to be like them. I'm so stupid" you might continue.

If you do this just please shut up and stop it! I know how it is; you're afraid if you keep doing this thing everyone finds uncool they'd judge you. But the fact you should know? You're only pressuring yourself to be someone you're not. It's torture and it never works.

You need to understand that there's on way everyone will like EVERYTHING about you; it just doesn't happen since we're all different. But that doesn't give them the right to hate you.

It's okay to be different. They can laugh as much as they want at it but they shouldn't laugh you out of your own ways! Respect who you are! You were made that way for a reason! Find that reason don't hide behind lies and shit!

I know how it works! No honestly! I love my friends and I take my studies seriously. I usually get laughed at because I spend so much time without them and instead scanning through my textbooks. Not the mean kind of laughter, we're just crazy like that we end up making fun of each other. But actually, it really got to me that I started to feel angry for no reason while studying. I started slacking behind, I got really stressed out between talking to all of them at once AND finishing off my already late homework.

Then I just snapped. Fuck who ever doesn't appreciate that I actually study! 3 years from now, I wont even remember their names to start with! There's nothing wrong with being different. There's nothing wrong with not drinking coffee or smoking or doing drugs. Just because they do it doesn't mean it's 'cool' and it DEFINITELY doesn't mean you should do it too.. specially not the drugs dude, stay clean!

You need to understand that those who really deserve you, won't really judge you for doing something they don't like! No honestly! Like here, I truly despise cigrattes I've been trying to get a friend to stop smoking for months now! I still don't hate her I just simply don't want her to die with rotten black lungs, you know? I hate guys who take selfies in the bathroom and apperently now I'm friends with one of those creatures. Don't hate him, but I do want him to stop! See the difference? If they really like you they wont leave you because you do some stuff that they dont agree on! They might tease you about it, try to make you stop. But they will never go too far. And they will always stop when you know it's affecting you negitavely.

So yea, peer pressure is apperently what drives all of us made. We hear them talking about what's accepted and what's not and we end up comparing ourselves to that list of 'accepted'. The '

accepted weight' the 'accepted style' the 'accepted way of talking'.

Honestly though, it's all boring in the end. if you keep trying to be 'accepted like them' you will end up just like that: Like them. And I don't see what's too special about being a generation of 'accepted' machines. Where's the fun in that?

It's really stupid, I swear. Thinking you need to change just to fit in when in the very start, you shouldn't want to fit it. It's really weird!

I'm always here to talk. Swear, school, housework whatever I'll still find time to text back! It might take a while but I will! I promise!

Stay safe for me.
