Different, everyone is different, and as a society we should accept these differences. We all want to find who we really are and what makes us, well, us. I’ve always questioned myself and wondered every day if I am a “normal” person. Today I am slowly discovering who I am and honestly, there is no such thing as “normal” or “perfect”. No matter who you are, there will be people judging you and that I something we all got to live with. Someone once told me, “You have to find your own voice and find your own way through life” and this is the quote I live by every day. There is no need to be ashamed of who you are and no need to hide it from anyone because those who matter will love you just the way you are. About eighty percent of the

I spent days preparing for this and it is a huge deal because someone will finally know the real me. Her reaction was just a huge smile on her face and she gave me a hug right afterward. She was so supportive and just the most amazing person I’ve ever met. I remember thinking how dumb I was to even think of suicide and that there are amazing people in this world. Everyone deserves love and we should not stand in the way of someone’s happiness. Being raised and told that being gay is morally wrong gave me a hard time to accept myself and if you don’t truly accept yourself for who you are, you will never find peace and happiness in life. Slowly over time I told more and more of my closer friends and most of them accepted me for who I am. There will be some that stops talking to you because you are different and they don’t think it is right to be different. Soon my friends asked me about dating and at the time I didn’t think much about it because I just didn’t want to have someone involved in my mess. One day a friend of my told me, “Hey, I got this friend who is also gay and I think you guys should go out” and then she gave me all of his information. I wasn’t very pleased with the way she assumed that I’d date anyone just because they were the same sexuality. I wouldn’t go and hook her up with any guy that is straight but I didn’t say anything because she was just being nice. Eventually I did go out …show more content…
I don’t want anyone to go through what I’ve been through because it just isn’t fair. Another thing is if your child is spending most their time locked in their room and distancing themselves, you should try and talk to them and stop calling them lazy. They might be going through something and you just aren’t taking the time to realize that. I am not close to my mom and I despise my dad, parents should start caring more about their children’s health rather than their grades. We live in a generation that never interacts in person so you can’t tell someone’s emotion through texting. My best example is Robin Williams, one of the world’s greatest comedian that committed suicide because he wasn’t happy. He seems so happy and you expect him to be because he is a comedian and living a pretty good life. So if you don’t know what someone and what they’ve been through, stop judging and leave them alone. Words are a powerful thing and can either worsen or brighten their day. We can start making this world a better place by always being kind to one
