I am a teenager, and there are lots of not very smart, and not very considerate people out there who fall into the same catagory("teenager").

but I hate being stereotyped into this bullshit catagory because I am 14, and not <12 or >20..

people think of "us" as irrisponsible, inconsiderate, mean, and liking this music called "rap" and "satanic rock", and always being thought of as deeply depressed and suicidal...
and last of all, mad... at the world..

I know this because of many people I have talked to "in person"

it pisses me off SO MUCH...
I am fairly responsible, I consider other peoples feelings, and well, I am mean sometimes... but only when I am joking around... and I absolutely HATE rap and satanic rock, I like country, and "normal" rock, I also like alternative, like joan osborne, mellisa etherage, and jewel, I also like Hooty & The Blowfish(not sure what catagory that falls under), and sure, sometimes I get depressed, but it's not for the reasons people think(the reasons most people think is "nothing", no reason at all), it's because of... stuff... for example, there is this girl I like, but I never see her and can't ask her out.... Ok, I don't need to start talking about that, but by all means that is not nothing, and as for the "suicidal" thing, I realize life is one of the most precious things you have, and I don't want to end it because I feel bad... it wouldn't matter what emotional pain I was in, what physical shape i was in, I would still want to live, although I am a religious person and do beleive in reincarnation to a point, but I am not 100% sure that reincarnation can really happen, or has happened, so I treasure every precious moment that I have in life, I would never ever kill myself or another person because i realize the value of life.. and a lot of people don't...

what also pisses me off is the way teenagers are pissed at the world, well, who the hell cares?

just because you're too fat, or too skinny, or black or white, that is no reason to be mad at anybody, thats the way it is, if you're too fat or too skinny you may be able to help that, but don't be pissed at everybody for it....

and what REALLY REALLY pisses me off is the kids who would prefer to be a different race, for example, an American("white") wanting to be African American("black")


although you may find the other race more attractive, or better, you know it can't be done unless you pull a michael jackson and get your skin bleached/dyed but that doesn't work all that well, you can still tell MJ is not a "natural white person"

I wish people would just accept who they are... I have and I feel much better about myself than I did when I didn't accept myself...

I realize I am not the best looking person in the world, I realize I am pretty overwieght, and i realize I am not the smartest person, but I accept that... I accept that I am not perfect and never will be. and i accept the fact that I am an Irish and German "white person", and I don't want to be any other race or color because this is who I am.

and i like to dress how i like, not how other people dress,
everyday I wear a pair of black jeans, one of many long sleeved shirts(I have a few colors, dark green, black, megenta, etc.), and a sweater-vest over my shirt..
I don't try to dress "cool" or try to fit in... I don't buy a necklace, or a ring, or a shirt because somebody else has it.... I wan't to be unique, I don't want to be like everybody else..


I wish other people would accept who they were and wouldn't try to fit in.....

it pisses me off..
