Inactivity- What is your reaction?
"Oh but it is not my fault!"
I am not going to post a blog about life saving techniques, how to make your high school life easier, why I havent been on, more or less, whatever you can think.
But I am still writing, even though many might not read, how a few words can change a million peoples lives. Over-exaggeration, yes? Sarcasm.
I think I am different from many. Perhaps that 1% of teens that is just Different.
Its proven I must say! They've called me "weird" I've said "strange," "different," can't they come up with another word but "W-E-I-R-D"? I ask.
Oh shy me, you might never think I would be writing this in the first place, but alas I am.
Here in America, we have No Freedom of Speech. Think about it for a second.
Im changing subjects and not sticking to one! Immediate Confusion.
My bad...........
Carry on, read another more interesting Blog.Im at war with myself, destruction. Madness.
Can I write about my day?-
Yeah you played frisbee with your sister."
Can I write about my week?-
Yeah you were at school."
Can You write about your month?-
I've been at war with myself."
Excuse the way I am writing! Cant connect my thoughts so clearly now, they jump out mad at my fingertips.
Breathe in.- Aghast.
I just want to see or rather read other peoples reactions to my blog. I like to be different and intend to stay that way.

Hi Alicia,
Thank you for your comment as well, being the same can be boring! I just wished that some people werent afraid to show it truthfully and not be someone else instead..
Thanks

Irena, Great post. You did a great job capturing what a lot of teens feel. Thanks for sharing. You definitely aren't alone. I think a lot of us go through times when we feel different. Many times people don't always want to admit it, but it something most of us have felt as some point. Being different and unique is what keeps things interesting. I love visiting Austin, TX and one of their slogans is "Keep Austin Weird" because weird is cool, interesting and fun. I think it would be boring if we were all the same. I totally agree with Rossie. That is one of my favorite quotes.

Hi Rossie,
Thank you for your comment, yes lately I've been a bit... "un-sure" of myself, and Im sure many have gone though this, it is now though that I've attempted to write it out. I must admit it is hard to write these feelings, I didn't want to sound so much of an "attention needy person" or that just complains about life when others have it harder... but yet no one knows about this "War" because it is our self's that we must help out.
and yes I can agree with the quote. :)

Hello Irena,
I'm actually surprised at how good you are representing what most of us go through in a day. We are so stressed out with school, work and on top having to comply and meet the standards of those around us while we feel we are in conflict within ourselves because you can't express your real thoughts, opinions and ideas. Thank you for sharing this with us and remember that as Laurel Thatcher Ulrich said "Well-behaved women seldom make history".
