So basically, I've just been thinking about how insane our world actually is. I mean, you might not have actually thought about it, but the way that we - or society - does things, just doesn't make much sense at all.
For example, think about the groups and cliques at school.
I mean, you've got the basic typical popular guys, most of which are ridiculously attractive but never go for girls their own age or from their own school. Of course, also in their group your typical funny guys, an average of one or two in each popular guy clique, who is almost always unattractive, sexually deprived, but with more of a personality than all of their "friends".
Then there are the sluts. I don't know how it is in other schools, but in mine, there are a total of three separate slut groups who all hate each other and insult each other and sleep with each other's boyfriends and just generally try to destroy each other. Oh except for Friday nights, of course. On Friday nights they all get drunk in town together and pretend to bff (and ever and ever and ever...)
Then you've got your populars, boys and girls. They're normally attractive and have busy busyyyyy social lives... only with each other... because they don't speak to anyone outside their group... but they're often considered to be charming, pleasant people... who don't like anyone who's not in their group... because anyone who's not in their group is weird...
And let's not forget the Nerds. Well, I call them the Nerds, but they're really just a mix of Nerd/Wannabe/Freak/Disgusting. Literally, about 1/3 are Nerds, who talk about their homework, or their flute lessons, or their non-existent lives, then 1/3 are Wannabes, who are basically weird people that all go out with each other, dump each other a week later, then switch boyfriend/girlfriend. It's weird. I would also put into this group the boy that asked a girl for sex, and when she said no, he offered to pay her for it. Ew. So the last 1/3 is basically made up of other random people who don't have anyone else to talk to. So yeah...they're cool...
Chavs! Everyone knows the Chavs! Basically they're the people that are too unsociable, or unattractive, to fit into the populars, or the guy populars. Some of them might also have anger management issues, or HDHD, but that's fine, because they're Chavs. They don't have much money, think that they are "hard" or "badass" and swear hell of a lot. Everyone loves a good Chav. In my school, there's a sort of Chav leader, too, who's the only decent looking guy there, and the others follow him around like his little puppet.
Next there's the sport freaks.You know, those guys and girls that would rather race around on a football field or continuously play tennis than anything else? They stand out most at break and lunchtimes, and you can always tell who they are. They're the ones yelling at each other and trying to tackle each other to the ground every five seconds.
Ooh, then there's the skanks. So slutty that you're too disgusting even for the sluts. You sleep around all the time, get drunk almost every other night, whatever. You're a skank. I know this one girl that was in the slut group, until she got so drunk that she went into the middle of the street in town, pulled down her pants, and did a poo right there in the middle of the street. Yeah, her "friends" suddenly disappeared, and she was left with the skanks.
I literally think that I could go on forever, endless stereotypes that everyone knows, and everyone follows.
But what's the point? Whether you're a music nerd, a dance freak, a boffin, a canteen lover, a goth, an emo, a spoilt brat or actually a nice person, you shouldn't have to be judged in that way. So what if you're into something, that doesn't suddenly make it part of you, or make it a bad thing. Having a passion, and a love of something so strong that it actually makes you happy, then that's good, and no one else's opinion should matter at all. You are who you are, and in this crazy, crazy world, it seems as if that's not okay.
I'm saying that it's wrong. Society is a cruel dragon, eating away at people's hopes and dreams, all of their once so strong aspirations, burnt into ashes on the ground. Live long, live pure, and don't ever, ever lose track of who you are supposed to be, and, even more importantly, who you want to be.
