Okay, so instead of my usual depressing poem, or corny story, this week I decided to talk about something that really bothers me. Emo is used by a lot of people to describe someone that wears dark clothing. This is a common misconception. What emo really stands for is emotional. It is a type of music, and a term used to describe someone who cuts them selves. Being goth is completely different. Goths do not cut themselves, or have death wishes or suicide attempts. The world we live in is prejudice towards anyone who is different. Just because someone wears black, that automatically means that they are depressed and listen to dark music. Most people make these accusations that are completely wrong.
Another thing that really aggravates me, is when people say things like, "Oh that's so gay."
Gay doesn't mean stupid or lame, it means two people of the same sex love each other. Also, when I confront people for saying these things, they ask me rude questions like,"Why do you care? Are you gay?" No I am not gay, but I don't see anything wrong with it. It really bothers me when people disregard gay people, and say things like that. I think that people should respect peoples decisions to be gay, and find new terms to call people, (not that you should call people names.)
I really think that everyone should stop judging other people, and just focus on their own lives.

Very well put! I feel the same exact way as you! Why should I even care who people sleep with? I don't think that is anything that people should even care about. It is like years ago when people were being disrespectfull to black people. Another thing that you should write about is when everyone says "that's so retarded!" As the daughter of a teacher to autistic preschoolers, it really bugs me. It is also bad when people make the retarded symbol. These kids are born with problems. I think you should write about that as well.
