To My Peers,

Being a member of the, for lack of a better term, dork side in my school has inevitably molded my perspective so that I think I truly AM odd, or unique, or special. I think it's that way for alot of people who are more in touch with my perspective.

We're not the prettiest, or the skinniest, most athletic or popular, to you. That's our stereotype, to which I must say is so untrue. My friends are all GORGEOUS, many have bodies that supermodels are jealous of, or play multiple sports. They just lack in the popularity department.

But very few of them are actually fucked up. And by FUCKED UP, I mean, if you knew, then you'd either avoid them at all costs or you'd torment yourself with sympathy. And the way you treat us is what makes us think there's something wrong with us. And that why we're so fucking depressed, because your words SEEP IN, through our skin. It's getting epidemic. We say we're just weird, for the most part, to build a defense mechanism against you backstabbers. I do believe Lily Allen's song FUCK YOU would describe all of that perfectly.

Then, what else is annoying is that all of you, with your perfectly paired Hollister t-shirts and low-rider jeans say you're freaks, weird, messed up. And, granted, some of you are. Some of you are POSERS. Not Marilyn Manson type posers (Yeah, I just called him a poser. HE is NOT the epitome of Goth, foo's!)but your own special type of delusion, taking away what little armor some of us have against the cold world we've known since grade school.

Now to avoid the wave of "YOU'RE A HYPOCRITE" that I am sure to receive, I actually am fucked up, having gone through self-injury, suicidal thoughts, depression, severe conflicting mood swings, and an unholy temper. There's also one more thing I am actually somewhat terrified to re-disclose on this blog. If you care enough to find out, look at last year's SPEAK NOW blog post.

Now, with fond regards, I leave you to ponder treating us like cattle.

Love,
That girl who sings the really high notes for no reason
