Every one has their own thoughts and feelings about how a girl is suppose to look, act, and behave. I am a kind of person who thinks that a girl should look and act how a girl wants to look and act. It's impossible to take a look around the world and tell me that every girl looks the same, and acts the same. I feel that every girl should have the right to look and act the way that they want to without constantly being criticized and made fun of. Am I the only one with those ideas, or am I not alone?

Ever wonder what it's like to be the "it" person at school? The one who's always at the center of attention-whether it's good or bad? The popular girl, the trendsetter. She's the one who everyone looks at, whether it's her hairstyle, her outfits, or the way she makes an entrance at every event. It's like she's always in the spotlight, making sure all eyes are on her. And then there are the popular boys-the ones who dominate on the field, charm everyone, and somehow, always seem to get away with anything. Girls swoon, teachers adore them, and they get to be the ones who set the rules. But what about the rest of us? What about me? I was the girl who lived in the shadow of their spotlight, always good at creative stuff-art, writing, anything that let me express myself. I'd count down the days to school events, not because I wanted to be the center of attention, but because I just wanted to be seen. I wanted recognition, even if it was just from one teacher or one friend, to feel like I mattered, like my voice was worth something. Was it easy? Not even close. If school taught me anything, it was that no matter how hard you try, there's always someone ready to outshine you. And if they can't? They'll find a way to tear you down, to make sure you never even get a chance to stand in their light. And when you think maybe the teachers will step in, help you out-well, sometimes they just sit on the sidelines, watching as you get pushed further into the background, as you're bullied into silence. Into someone you were never meant to be. In a place where spotlights only shine on the few, I couldn't help but wonder-was there ever room for someone like me?
