    Why do people commit suicide?
    Why do people cut themselves?
    Why do girls become Anerexic and Belimec?
    Why do kids bring guns to school?
    WHy do kids get depressed...so they start using meds, and abusing them?
    Why do girls feel the need to act like sluts to impress guys?
    WHy cant people show their sexuality freely without worrying about being judged?
    IN the Bill Of Rights, It says we have FREEDOM OF SPEECH! So why are we so afraid to speak up for ourselves?
    I KNOW WHY....
    Cliques...
    Society in general....
    We live in a world where if your not skinny, not beautiful, not sexy, not straight...ur tortured, abused and humiliated. we say that we are all equal but there is still racism, sexism, and people judging others based on there religion, color, size, heritage, ect...
    IS THIS AMERICAN?
    IS THIS THE NATION WE LIVE IN AND FIGHT WARS TO SUPPORT?
    I AM SICK OF IT!
    Steriotypes, and everything else.
    I want to live in a good place.
    Without suicide, rape, murder, and JUDGEMENT!
    I want to stop the madness. If i only reached out to 1 or 2 people thats fine. at least MY concience is clear...HOW ABOUT YOURS?

    It's happening, and whatever you do, it will ALWAYS happen. It's just how life has come to be and you've got to accept it, change the things you have a chance at, like charity working etc, but some things don't change, and focusing on them will only make you another depressed being.

    I agree that media and stereotypes, judgmental people and name calling, racism and hatred effect young children and teenagers to make them sadist, mental, murderers, rapists etc, and overweight people or black or white people in the opposites society can be tough, but it is also to do with parenting. If they knocked some TRUTH into their kids, some discipline yet some self esteem, there'd be a healthy balance.

    I had this discussion with my parents today, they didn't even think I was right. It was like they were teenagers all over again defending themselves. If parents were more strict with their children and gave them rules, and actually still hit them in teenage years when they had done something wrong, (no, not abuse) do you think they'd go out to parties and get drunk? Do drugs and have sex? No, if there were actual consequences to their actions, they wouldn't. Parents these days don't seem to take the stand, and force their opinions more than the media does. More than the bullying.

    It all goes hand in hand with each other. Some things won't go away, it's if you can ignore them that you get anywhere.

    1.PERFECTION-the state of being without a flaw or defect

    as you can see by this def. there is NO such thing as perfection in this world. Why would the world be created on perfection, and normalities? How boring of a world would that be? I say embrace who you are. and TRY your hardest to ignore the 'crap'! Don't let people run your life. Don't let people get to your soul. A wise peson once told me. to shrink the 'crap'. and BLOW UP the GOOD.
    I that advice I hold dear to me. In life we must find something to hang on to, then hold on for dear life, because life is going to take us ALL for a little ride.
    most imporantly.... NEVER FORGET TO BREATHE.

    ^^^

    Sigh...

    Just when I thought you had a beautiful mind. Ignorancy shows up.

    Dearly beloved,

    Perfection is a beautiful thing. You see. A world of perfection would not be boring, for a world of perfection, would mean the people in the world as well. Meaning everyone in the world would be 'perfect'. To have this, would mean everyone would be how they 'are'. Perfect. Everyone would have their fun, laughs, with no Desolate emotions, your life would be; Perfect. To have boredom would not be; Perfect.

    Therefore, your statement is utterly; False.

    To your supposable Wise Person who stated "To shrink the 'crap' and BLOW UP the GOOD". To believe in this you are, utterely the biggest; Fool.

    Whoever stated this is not Wise, for if he was 'wise', he would know the world has a 'balance'. The Good. The Evil. And for the few of the wisest. The Neutral.

    The balance. He who is wise, understands philosophy to the fullest extent. Would know if the balance of the side of good is to be "Blown Up" as you say. The world would be in CHAOS.

    So to your Person whom you say is Wise. He is, not just ignorant. But idiotic.

    This. Is wisdom. Period.

    I read this in a bulletin on myspace =P
    It's lovely to make you think, but pretty much impossible. Conflict is in human nature. People will always have something to fight about. And we are not without faults, people will always be trying to better themselves, in turn making everyone else want to better THEMselves. And then you get to someone who just can't. And they go to desprite measures, and that's what happens to them.

    This post is all about dreaming.
    Its about what I.... PERSONALY would like in the world.
    What I think, and dream and draw about.
    So please DONT TELL ME that dreaming is false,
    because If I want to dream LET me. If I wish to sit in fluffly clouds make of cotton candy, and have unicorns come and go with my command let me.
    I am a free spirit,
    SO PLEASE LET ME DREAM.

    Dreaming is false my dear...In fact it is our fantasies and anxieties personified into a state where we sort out our own issues while we sleep...

    So you asking an array of questions shows that your having an idealistic rather than an imaginary leaning...

    Idealism is fair and nice, but all the questions you ask is something that cannot change..It stood the test of time, and it seems that none can change it but the individuals themselves.

    So dream my dear...But one day you'll have to wake up and face reality...

    'and reality sucks'
    For God's sake lighten up, there's no point making irreleavnt little statements like that to bring everybody down with you. Reality sucks because you make it suck. Do something about it and it won't. It's not as simple as it seems, yeah, but eventually things get better.
    But only for the people who have the effort and strength to do something about their 'suckish' lives.

    People commit suicide because they can't cope with their emotions and life anymore so they want to end it all.
    People cut to relieve themselves and focus on the physical pain instead of the emotional pain, because again, it's too much for them to handle.
    People become bulimic and anorexic because they have an illness/disorder where they think they're overweight when they're not. When they look in the mirror they see fat that isn't there. It's a mental illness that they can't control, and they think it's the only thing in their life they have any say over, so they do it to the point where it could be life risking.
    People get depressed because we live in a judgmental world where everything has become more hard and frightening for teenagers and they can't deal with the amount of stress being put on them, and the drugs seem one of the only ways out.
    Girls act like 'sluts' to 'impress' guys, because they've probably had their hearts broken so many times, that's the only way they get even the slightest bit of affection.
    People can't openly show whether they're lesbian, bi or homosexual for fear of being abused or judged because other people have been raised Christian and don't think it's natural, or there are bashers out there who can beat them up, abuse them, and even murder them. They fear their parents reactions as though it's some huge let down, when really it just makes you the person you are.
    Because freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom of speech anymore, some people DO speak up and make the effort, and it's not listened to. Some people don't have enough support to get their voice listened to. And some 'freedom of speech' is just abusing what 'freedom of speech' means because they want to give the world an offensive message. Such as racism, hatred etc.

    So now we know, posting this on MySpace and poetry sites, as much as we might think we're helping, posting threads and bulletins won't do a thing. Because we read it, re-post thinking, well I've done my worlds favour, and it just doesn't do **** all.

    Is she doing anything wrong by wanting to change our country for the better? America is a pretty sick place, and I think one person trying to make a positive point far outweighs all of your bashing. I want to see ONE thread where Angelina and/or anyone else does NOT attack the poster. Maybe the poster of this topic is ignorant, maybe she isn't the brightest crayon in the box...but she's not doing anything wrong and she does not deserve to be dragged down. Our country, along with most countries, is filled with crap...but when someone tries to stand up and fight for the smallest amount of change...someone is always standing by, ready to shoot them back down.

    Agh, I just woke up...what a terrible thread to read on such a beautiful morning :)

    Ta-ta!

  • limp

    No, she's right for having a positive outlook. But a positive outlook on a negative world doesn't always fit.
    Sure she can do a few things, but nothing very permanent unless she's famous, rich or in power.
    Otherwise Myspace bulletins just don't do the trick.

  • silvershoes
    17 years ago

    Oh Angelina, yes, because living in America was the only point I was trying to make :)

  • shana

    Thanks for sticking up for me, At least someone hopes for a better world.

  • DeathlyAmore

    Empress Jane or W.e.

    Bang Bang is Obsolutely right.

    Also, what the hell are you saying?

    Yes, Shana is not the brightest person in the box, But darnit you aint either, You just insulted land that is most beautiful.

    This country doesn't suck

    its the PEOPLE who make it suck.

    This country is based on individualism and is based on freedom that many countries don't ever have.

    People say "I hate america" or "America sucks" Yet they try so dam hard to get in the dam country! I mean how DUM can one be?

    Also, Shana's first post on the thread was beautiful, I agree with her, But the second post was not, and The third one was pure IGNORANCE.

    Reality sucks because PEOPLE make it suck.

    She tried to make a change in the world. Yes, But when you try to make a change it better be for the better, You only read the first post. Because if you read the other two posts that shana made you will see Bang Bangs Point.

    She does not want to change the world for the better.

    Read her other posts before you start saying something.

    And to finish this off.

    This Thread has lost TOTAL view.

    See shana!?!?!?

    YOu posted something GOOD in the first post. Then you COMPLETELY change the subject. And your ignorancy just pops out again.

    rrr....

    You know what. I'm done typing. This thread has become NUMB.

    Totally lost its original meaning.

    God people are giving all the attention to America...Excuse me, but although America is the symbol of commercialism and materalistic love plus a pinch of celebrity worship...

    I don't think America is at fault, all developing countries have their own social issues and the sooner we realize that...The sooner we get on with our lives...

  • Noir

    Duh...It's implied....America=Developing Countries...

    But again it may be the people and America may be a piece of land, but again you've got to see the territorial history that comes with that piece of land...

  • DeathlyAmore

    OKay.

    Its not AMERICA. AMERICA is the whole dam North America, Central, And Couth put together.

    Its call the U.S. Get it straight.

    Also, The U.S. is a very beautiful country, The land is beautiful, the ideal is beautiful. This country started out by just a bunch of colonists wanting their freedom and took on the King of England for their beliefs.

    Also, there is no other country that gives so much power to the people as this country.

    The only problem with this country is the corrupt goverment that lost sight of what this country was made FOR. BUSH lost insight. The people lost insight. But what you gonna do?

    Leave the U.S. alone.

    The U.S. is not the topic of this Thread.

    Also Shana, I am sorry, but I am not insulting you.

    Hmm..you have a very powerfull dream. If only it was the truth of this world.
    The sad thing is no matter how we work it, freedom of speech will never apply in every case.
    Cause the message can reach 1 or 2 but that will never be enough.
    *sigh*
    A dream is a dream any way you look at it. Maybe it can be true, maybe it cant.

    This post was never directed towards, JUST "america" I never meant for it to be toward just "america" I meant for the symbolization of "america" to represent the world.... because do we or do we not have mixed culture? Do we not have people from every corner of the world here?
    So does this not mean.... all of the world... and not just one sidely "america"...

    Well actually I have been to Europe. But I don't mean as in Scenery Beautiful.

    I meant "Idealy". Do you know how this country started? Read your history. Then you would understand why I respect it.

    Read the Rights and The Constitution. Now compare it to France, England, Spain, Germany, Russia, Italy, Ect.

    Well it doesn't look so bad now does it?
    [Seriously. Read it. The U.S. gives way... to much to the people]

    Ala's. Read your 'history' of the U.S.. So help me GOD don't say you did, because if you really did, then you would understand my point of view. Period. Period. an PERIOD.
    ^^ Did I mention 'PERIOD!'?

    Although....

    Okay the goverment? Maybe... not so tiny problem... maybe its... a very big problem. BUT I am Democrat!. Not Republican >=[ . I cannot be held responsible. =\
