Description
…Normal?Everyone gets so caught up in following what others do that we just lose track of what's really normal.
I mean, being in high school now, everyone feels obligated to go to parties and drink until they throw their guts up or pass out.
But doing just that isn't normal either.
Stereotypes are also another thing that seem to be considered normal by many.
They just don't understand how hurt some people get by these labels.
…Acceptance?
It's like we're not supposed to be ourselves in order to fit in.
Like we have to follow strict rules to only do, say, and believe what we're supposed to.
All the people in this world are so bland and the same.
We're losing our creativity and imagination.
But I guess that's the only way to be accepted now.
Be the exact same as the person next to you.
…Right?
Society has taught our younger generation so much.
We're being exposed to such a harsh and cruel world.
A world where:
Being beautiful means to be as skinny as a supermodel.
Being popular means to be only the ones who can afford the most expensive brands and are selfish and unkind to others.
Being used for sex is expected.
Being wanted - as your true self - is so hard.
Being who you really are is wrong.
And when you can't live up to these expectations, you're considered an outcast.
A letdown.
Like you're never going to be good enough no matter how much effort you give.
There's so many people faking smiles everyday..
Why don't people see the scars?
Why don't people see the pain?
Why don't people see any of it?
Help never comes when it is needed most.
I should know.

I hate this world and all it's become.....
People today only care about their Super Bowl and American Idol and a cell phone that takes pictures and a pair of Nike shoes and nothing of any goodness.
In fact if your good and kind your used as a doormat and made fun of.
I have never harmed "anything" in my life and tried so hard to make this a better place....but I give up.
This group of kids today is by far the worst I've ever encountered. Fools that care nothing about anything but themselves. If they like you...it means you have something they want is all.
And it's not just them....the adults gave them that gift, and the young only refined it to a science. NOt anyone tells the truth anymore, they all lie.
People do see the scars and the pain and hurt of others...they do see the need......the fact is .....they simply don't care.
I should know...I live through this every single day of my life.....I give up...

Again I agree with every bit of what you say.
I'm actually watching a show on TV right now, all it's about is someone changing who they are just to get someone to like them. Guess that teaches us that's what we have to do.
But please don't give up.. If there's someone out there who feels the same way I do, it gives me hope to not give up as well..

Okay... I know there's others like us out there and I have no doubt but they are too afraid for the most part to act differently is the problem.
Most of them are the kind, caring and sensitive type and haven't the guts to be different and stand by your convictions and say and do the right things because there afraid of not being like everyone else.
I know I'm not like everyone and you know what?? I'm proud of who I am, and being the loving, kind hearted caring human being my grandmothers taught me to be. I shall never change that just like the greedy, violent, cold and uncaring will not change either. the problem is that they run the world....it's their world today, and we are the out-siders and to them....we are the prey. I'm tired of the fight and conflict and being used my whole life. I'm just tired of a world where love seems like something you only read about or make up in your head.
I'll be your hope then as you are mine.

Yeah I bet that's true.
I feel the same way. I'd rather be known as the unaccepted kind person instead of the cold and uncaring one.
I wish there was a way to change the world as of the people who seem to run it. It isn't fair to the rest of us.
And I feel selfish and hopeless, but thank you, you inspire me.

See...the world sucks so badly that it even makes the good people seem like there the enemy and your not.
People that feed and care for and see beauty in a raccoon on the porch and all the other things are not the problem in life.
YOu're one of the real beauties here.
We can't change it...never could I guess. I think we were just foolish thinking that to tell the truth. But the truth also is that we can change at least the people we come into contact with. I can help change you and you can help change me.Maybe someday we'll see thats all we could have done and we did our best. I help all the animals I can for sure and I'm proud of that. I carry seed in my car and treats for strays or those that look hungry because some won't get tooo close to you.
I hope we stay in touch but.....history tells me we won't. No one ever does on this site. may all blessings in life be yours.

I know right.. it's horrible.
And thanks, that means a lot, so are you.
Well I hope there is some kind of way to change all this, it's getting pretty ridiculous now and all this hate is intolerable. Seems like no one can get along without having their way.
And I'm sure there's a way we can stay in touch anyway, even if it isn't on this site.. perhaps you have an account on a website elsewhere that we could still talk on? If you'd want of course.
