Reviews Requested- Contains upsetting material - Why Society Sucks (My beautiful rant)
*I wrote this today when I got home from school. During class my teacher asked us to stand up for our personal beliefs... Which got me pissed because I have none. This is my response/rant towards my indecisiveness*
"I'm too fat", cries the girl with her stick-thin arms suffocated by her average-sized shirt. Everyday she will run and work-out, yet when she looks in the mirror, all she sees is the fat cushioning her fragile bones. "I'm a slut", screams the girl who was raped while drunk, who the general seems to victimize. The day after the incident, she came to school and didn't act any differently, so when she finally stood up for herself, people did not believe her. Instead of sympathizing with her, they blame her for ruining his life. "I'm stupid", complains the girl with straight-A's while her neighbor in class is ecstatic to just have earned a B. While the straight-A student cheats on every other test, the girl with the B will study for hours on end. "I'm ugly", whimpers the girl who could be a runway model. With her face perfectly proportioned, a note-worthy bust-line, and 5'6 in height, she is the ideal beauty queen. "I don't care", whispers the girl with a train track of lacerations up her left arm. People call her emo and weird, while in truth, if they gave her a chance, they could see the beauty inside of her. When they buried her too-young corpse, her parents begged the question "why"? It was discovered that her cries for help were once loud, but grew more and more silent, until they eventually stopped. "I'm ****ed", hesitantly laughs the girl who's been to hell and back. People joke about her appearance and wonder why she is always sad. If only they knew that her worst problems lied in the safest place; home. "I'm gay", slyly states the girl whose confidence has completely diminished once discovering that she was "different". She fears rejection and being outcasted. She knows that she could live a lie, but how would she ever find happiness?
This is what society has come to, or actually, has always been. Some will lie, and others will be honest. As a teenager, I am supposed to come up with opinions on major topics, but it seems that either route I pick, I am wrong. I whole-heartedly support marriage equality, but should it really even have to be determined by law? When is life created and what is a legitimate reason for abortion? Should a woman even need a reason other than her will? Has society created such a superficial image of beauty that no matter what a girl does, she will never be good enough? If a girl starves herself to get skinny it is considered going to far, yet if she still has fat, she needs to try harder.
When people ask me why I am so indecisive, above is my answer. I can't decide on anything, because my heart is split in half; I am persuaded by both arguments, and land somewhere in the middle. No matter what a girl does now days, by someone, she will be viewed as wrong.
