This isn't exactly for random readers on the web. (But you are more than welcome to stay' I think I'll have a good moral here.) It's more to be posted on my Facebook as a huge slap in the face for some of the kids in my school.
Recently, anyone in my grade would know, our Formspring newsfeeds have been clogged with hate. Mostly between two girls, by people who probably shouldn't have a say in the whole situation. But that isn't it. There are people who continuously call an amzing friend of mine gay, much to the utter....infuriation of another bestie. I have an amazing friend who gets bashed for being friendly, and another who did nothing but get a really nice boyfriend who just so happens to be older. I had my own influx of hate for something entirely private about a month ago that got me nearly forty questions in about a week.
Now, I'm fortunate that a good split of those forty were support from my friends. But I know other people aren't so lucky.
WHATEVER. I have one, yes. Am I asking for hate? Maybe I am. Do I appreciate anonymous hate? No. If I have left an anonymous message, it was a GUESS WHO. If you're gonna say something, even if it's through a computer screen, get some guts and let them know who you are. Maybe there are some personality flaws they'd like to inform you of, too. Because we all have some. And, if someone wants you to inbox them, honey, they're letting you reach out to them. If you care enough to wonder about someone's sex life or why they may or may not hate you, you should bother to respond. Because no one can be friends with just 170 characters.
To drag this shit on because our town has no manners, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. This is a rule we are taught from infancy onward. We live in a community that is very fortunate, and we need to all encourage each other because we have some amazing oppurtunities.
Also, if you are messing with any of my friends and your identity becomes unconcealed, I will make sure you understand the dificulties they go through on a daily basis. Because very few of my friends are people with amazing lives. Many of them suffer alot on a daily basis.
You have the power to kill someones self-esteem. People who hate, and kill hope and joy in people are the reasons there are so many people with eating disorders, mental "craziness" and self-injury problems. If you tell someone to kill him/herself then they just may. Just because you said it. Do you really wanna let someone else's coffin rest on your conscience.
Love, the weird girl that hits really high notes because she gets bored <33
PS: I do not follow people for trouble. If I follow, I genuinely like you/want to know you better. You are all beautiful people, inside and out, no matter what these immature losers say. Mmkayyy? kthanxbaii
I agree, Kimmy. 100%. It's ridiculous the amount of hate and questions on my fs about our unnamed friend's sexuality... like have I not said about ten times on my formspring alone that he's not gay and that it pisses me off when people hate on him for being himself?
ReplyDeleteI know. They have some bad karma now. I just wish people need to click on the link so they'd know that they need to learn some manners, or if they need suppport, they have it in me. :P
