A More Detailed Description
I am eighteen. I do not claim to be any genre of human aside from female. My belief in not labeling one another is strong. I understand dressing a certain way, someone will assume what they will. But why should it be our right to say "That person is such a prep!" because they walk out of Hollister? Yet people continue to complain if they're called "Goth" when walking out of Hot Topic. If we weren't so quick to judge then this wouldn't be a problem either way.
I am in a relationship with the man I intend to marry one day. We've been together a year and a half and I've never been happier.
I grew up very early in life, and so I never knew the 'teenage' experience. I find the teens in this modern day and age extremely irritating and immature. I don't mean to offend anyone with this, it's just my opinion. I mean really, just take a look at it now. So many teenagers find it cool to be depressed and cut themselves for no real reason. How dumb is that? Or their belief that they are in love so young. I have many theories on teenagers. I have lots of theories on different things.
I really start to rant when it comes to the teenage fad of "I have depression, boohoohoo". I actually HAVE depression, diagnosed by the doctor when I was young, and I really do not approve of people just whining because they don't have a girlfriend/boyriend, or because they think their parents are being unfair to them. I have had it rough, but I know others have it worse. I've never ran about proclaiming my depression and acting like it's something to be proud of.
I believe in intelligence and knowledge, another thing most teens dismiss nowadays. I've usually either got my head in a book or I'm writing. Not always, because I have other interests too. But usually that's what I'm seen doing.
I am an aspiring writer, and an artist in my spare time. I'm close to completing the rewrite of my first novel. If anything happens with that I'll be sure to let you know.
I'm not as mean as I sound, I just don't like being considered a normal teenager. It goes along with the whole labeling thing. I don't want someone to look at me holding my boyfriend's hand and they think "Oh, another statistic. She's going to be pregnant before she graduates." WRONG. Or how about "Oh, look, she's one of those goth teens, she must be doing drugs and worshiping Satan. Her poor mother." Wrong again. "She wants to be a writer? Obviously she'll be living in her mothers basement and working at Walmart until she dies." Wrong again. I'm good at writing for my age, I'm not a whore, and I'm not a druggie or satanic. I don't approve of drinking, smoking, or drug use.
Our world we live in is destroying itself, collapsing with hate and prejudice. I'm willing to give any person a chance- regaurdless of what their class, style, sexual preference, nationality or skin color is. It is your own self that is the only thing that may discredit you in my eyes. If you are a class A jerk, then I will return the treatment. If you stab my back once, I'll never forget it.
If you've read this far, I thank you. You are one of very few people who actually give a damn about anyone anymore.
