hey guys ellie here
so do any of you remember my rude strangers rant?
well this is part two
school edition
so I had play rehearsals today, and me, one of my best friends, and a group of our friends were all stood outside, waiting for people to pick us up.
me and my friend, Sophie, were singing somewhere in neverland
please note, that the others were singing too
so this girl in y8 (the year below us) is walking in our direction. also note that neither of us know her.
so we're just casually singing, and this girl just says to us "Shut the f*** up, you can't even sing" to me and Sophie, and walks off
wEL ExCUSE ME
I know that we weren't singing that well, cause we were having fun, but that's no excuse to be mean.
I know that I'm not the world best singer, but it's something I love to do.
people just need to think before they speak.
I've been told so many things that have stuck with me for years. people think a little snide comment here and there isn't going to hurt, but it does.
that one little remark about someone's shirt, and they may never wear it again.
that small observation about how bad you think someone's drawing is, and they may never open up another sketch pad.
that one comment on someone's story that they wrote and worked their ass of for, and they may never pick up a pen again.
some people just don't understand how much things can hurt.
here's something I was taught in primary school:
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but silly words hurt more.
probably one of the most valuable lessons we learnt, but hardly anyone listened.
please guys.
please don't be mean.
cause of people like this, I'm now cautious whenever I go to a movie, or a concert or anything like that, because I'm afraid of blocking people's views.
I'm afraid of doing things I shouldn't be afraid of doings because of little snide comments people make.
doesn't that show that something needs to change?
I'm so sorry for a terrible rant, but I needed to be said.
please don't be the one to say those "silly words".
