Opinion

We as Americans are very self centered.

We think that the world revolves around ourselves and not anyone else.

We lack in awareness that allows us to be able to say “oh that has nothing to do with me and that’s okay.” 

What is democracy to you?

Is it a flag of red, white, and blue waving in the air on the back of your pickup truck while complaining to the administrators that immigrants are "infiltrating" your kid's school?

Have you ever met a person who was part of Pride? Are you part of it? Many people are, and they're said to be "Not human," which in my opinion, is crazy.

Have you ever seen a gay person? Maybe someone you thought was gay by how they acted? Or somebody who identified as non-binary? The community of Pride is everywhere.

Anti-intellectualism is on the rise, and it's because of intellectualism. Most have not heard of this concept, but it is a fundamental issue in modern society.

I know that many people in this world are considered "Weird" or "Not human," and that our horrible president encourages this, to mock people, to call them stupid, and to call them NOT HUMAN. It's plain stupid.

Sometimes I feel like I am running on a treadmill towards a big shiny sign that says “Relaxation.” Surronding the big shiny words are lots of other words.

Hi, all.

It's been a little while.

I'm 14. In 8th grade.

I haven't posted in probably over 6 months.

What's new?

I got Covid, again, at the beginning of the year. Oh well, I guess. 

It's not all the grownups, 

But it's too many. 

Nothing is how it should be.  

The world is heating.  

The government collapsing. 

Yet we, 

We are only overreacting. 

Every day when we stand for the pledge I feel like a curtain has fallen over me.

holding me down.

I remember who is president for the next four years.

And I want to cry.

I want to sit down and cry a river of tears.

“Just grow up.” “Take your time.” “You won’t be a teenager forever.” Good, I don’t want to be. Always stressing about due dates, or tests, or studying, or the future, or absolutely anything at this point.

I hate fakers

Everyone always thinks they're better than everyone else.

Some think they have it worse than others.

Some could care less if you do have it worse than them.

Some think that some people don't have feelings.
