Today was just so depressing. In Teaching Academy we talked about a whole bunch of stuff and it just made me realize how fortunate I am that I can make the right decisions in life and that I have good friends who don’t put pressure on me to do certain things that I do not want to do. We talked about drinking, drugs, stereotypes, families, etc. I started to think about how many people do those types of things, and that I can’t do anything about it. And the fact that I can’t do anything about it depresses and not to mention frightens me a whole lot. I have seen what drugs can do to you, not from experience but from what happened to a friend of mine. She’s okay now, but when I saw her the way she was, hurt me real bad and it scared the heck out of me. It was probably one of the worst days, if not the worst day of my life. I never want to have to see that again. Anyways, by the time I get to math class, I open my textbook and see a note from Candy. What she said to me in that note made me cry. She made me feel SOO much better. She has such a way with words and she gives such great advice. There I was in class just crying thinking about what Candy said to me and it made me feel so loved and important. I can’t thank you enough for that Candy!
Another thing that bothers me is stereotypes and people judging other people before taking the time to meet and talk to them. I hate being around such narrow-minded people……it just really disgusts me so much that people can be like that. And for the people that this affects, just be yourself and if people can’t get past your look, then forget them. They are not worth your time!
Wow, this is a really good time for me to vent.
List of things that bother me or things that I just don’t like:
- Mean people
- Drugs
- Abusive drinking
- Stereotypes
- People not accepting me for who I am
- Not being yourself
- Following the crowd (basically the same thing as above)
- Nosy people
- Peer pressure (although I don’t have to go through with that)
- People shunning gays (I’m not gay but I don’t see why people have to treat them different just because of the way they are.)
- My mom when she gets that certain way!
