My First Pet Peeves

“My mouth says “I’m fine.”, my fingers text “I’m okay”, but my heart says “I’m broken.” People live through this every day, but will stay sitting in silence because they do not know what to do. Every day you can hear rumors all over the school or see people ignoring others and their feelings. Every day you can see people who need their friends there for them, but their friends will not see it.

In conclusion, my biggest pet peeves are caused by people not being all ears. My first pet peeve is when people take “I’m fine” as an answer instead of digging deeper into others’ feelings. The next pet peeve is caused by people who do not clean their ears, but let the wax build to a point of sickening others. My last pet peeve is when people do not speak meaningfully, but instead shorten the words which completely denotation of the word. So now ask yourself, “Am I letting people suffer while saying they are
