We, the Minority
July 25, 2013
I go online
reading about millions and thousands
of teens talking about
how they are
nerds
freaks
ugly
fat
weirdos
insecure
quiet
pained
and then i read about how they want to be like those really
popular
cool
awesome
beautiful
thin
people
but if all these "people"
want to become
"those" people
how come i don't see
"those" people
in
real life?

THERE HAS BEEN A MISCONCEPTION THAT THE INSECURE, PAINED, WORRIED, UGLY, UNPOPULAR ARE PART OF THE MINORITY.
WE AREN'T.
BE PROUD OF WHO YOU ARE AND NO, YOU ARE NOT UGLY OR FAT OR ANY OF THOSE MATERIALISTIC AND UN REALISTIC PEOPLE AT ALL.
THERE IS NO ONE ON THIS PLANET WHO HASN'T BEEN HURT, LOVED, OR HAS CRIED.
(I really should have made this and article)
