Teen talkies
It seems like we live amidst extremely judgmental people. Our best qualities look like flaws to other people. So I just want to rant, but have nothing highly intellectual to say; I just feel like I have to get a few things off my chest.
- I am socially awkward, and don’t like talking. In school, I would be with two or three people, not a part of a big group of my class.
- I am not a wannabe American hippie; I just happen to listen to Eminem. And there is also nothing wrong with rocking like Michael Jackson.
- Apparently, I give bad vibes, like don’t-approach-me-I-hate-everybody vibes. And I seem stuck up. To that, I say I am too dorky for a lot of people’s taste.
- I don’t categorize people like a lot of people I know. I honestly don’t care if you wear a burqa or jeans. Just be a generally nice person.
- I can’t engage in gossip at weddings about who’s “being over” with makeup and clothes.
- Yes, I know I have pimples; stop reminding me! It’s called growing up.
- Telling me about my physical flaws? Please, what I can’t control, I simply cannot control.
- Stop giving me advice when I know you don’t follow it yourself.
- If I say something nice to you, I am not faking it. I genuinely think something you have said or done is a good thing, or I just think I should be nice to you.
- Keep your propagandas and conspiracy theories to yourself. It’s annoying. I realize a fraction of what you say may be true, but other than that you have absolutely no idea how ridiculous the things you say sound when they come out of your mouth.
- Don’t eat my food. Seriously, don’t.
- I don’t understand social media. It’s too much for me. And as for Instagram, I look awful in selfies and my aaloo gobi dinners simply cannot compete with pictures of your five star meals
- Talk to the point. I don’t need your life story. Yes, I do know life can sometimes suck.
- I am sorry, all right. Just move on; I know what I did was wrong. You don’t have to forget - I can’t either - but you can forgive.
- Don’t talk about your uncles and aunties unless they are also my uncles and aunties.
- T.V morning show hosts, just ugh. They laugh at the most boring stories a celebrity has to tell every time. The part of the show where you randomly wave your arms all over the place and call it dancing? Oh wait, that IS the entire show. My mom has been watching you people since she was little. No, you are not 25. And as for important issues, you exploit people and all you really do is get higher ratings.
- I don’t have ‘friends’; I just know a few people really well.
- I am always tired even though I do nothing all day.
- Most importantly, Avril Lavigne, you have crushed my soul. You were a punk and dressed like a boy. And I loved you but the Hello Kitty music video! Why do you have to make it so complicated?
And, to conclude this, I am perfect so everybody ought to listen to me from now on. Just kidding. I am the ugly duckling and hopefully one day I’ll be the gorgeous swan, but today is not that day.
