So Tired of Looking for Acceptence
Monday, August 31, 2009
Have you ever felt sick of trying, sick of failure? It seems like no matter how many variables you plug into your equation, you get the same results. No matter how much you try to change, the world looks at you the same as it always did.
Put a pair of heels, a new dress, and some make-up on a geek, people will be attracted to the flashy new toy, but soon will remember how much they dislike you. You bite your tongue, hold back your sarcasm and intellect, and even try out some small talk, but it is all for naught. Your hopes are raised cruelly for a millisecond, then its all down in flames.
I'm so tired of being laughed at, rude comments, and mean people. High School isn't just an educational system in regards to facts and books, high school teaches you what to expect from the world. People encourage you to be an individual, but the moment you spread your wings, the moment you swim against the tide, someone comes up to clip your wings and tie you to an anchor.
I'm so exhausted from this stupid battle for myself, tired of hypocrites, judgements, and people talking from both sides of their mouths. But what can I do about it? I'm a part of the problem, just as cruel and judgemental as the rest of humanity. No matter how hard I try, I can't figure out how to be the solution.

i'm actually not popular, merely a yankee geek dealing wit a small southeren school. -Emily the Author
but why should others be judged on their weight or their hair or their looks. its so duumb....
P.S. I like your style.
and i wanted to post a comment on ur articale, saying that it doesn't matter what others think of u! trust me! ive been through the same thing! and im stil going through it. im only 16. so yeah. but i did the wrong thing and ran away from it all and became homeschooled. i thought that becomin homeschooled would make me feel better. but it didn't. i became lonely. i think you should just be ur self. dress the way u wanna dress. and act the way u act. not the way u WANT people to look at u!
