Different


"Today you are you! That is truer than True! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!" By Dr. Seuss. Oh how this quote has summed up everything that truly needs to be said to my generation. Today we are a generation of herders, as all we really do is follow the status que of everyone around us, kinda like sheep except we dont make any sheep noises. But there is some things I want to know, for example, isn't everyone tired of being the same as everyone else instead of us just being us? When people say its ok to be different, I dont believe they mean to come out of the house looking like Edward Collin when he steps into the sun. I believe that this old saying from Dr. Suess suits everyone better than saying " Its ok to be different" because whats more different than you. Going to school and sitting with the so called 'geeks' does not classify you as being one, it does not classify anyone to be called a 'geek' even if they are really smart. No groups of friends should have a name actually, because no one really is what they are called.For all we know they can be the complete opposite from what we expect, because maybe the so called 'goth' at school, secretly has an obsession with hot pink. Just because one person is given name doesn't make it true. Just like my name Maria is actually my real name( i know real shocker though the last name on this thing is fake so I guess that makes up with it) and it means star of the sea. My name does not suit who I am at all. For one im no star, I am actually incredibly shy and have tendencies to be mute for day and refuse to talk(not physically mute, I just dont like to talk, I know im weird considering how much I write on my blog) and sea part, well, I dont think you can find anyone who hates going swimming more than I do.

How many trends are there actually around school? maybe the trend isn't to dress up as a stereotype that people call us, I believe the actual trend is to follow what everyone else is doing. Therefore technically there is only one trend throughout everyones life of teenageerism. Is teenagerisim is really a word? it basically means your entire teenage life. As many of you could see I just made up the word purely because thats what Dr. Seuss did throughout many of his story books when he could find a word that rhymed with another. Though this submission doesn't have anything which rhymes, therefore I dont quite know how this works. Back to the point theres only one trend and thats to follow. Therefore by going by the needless stereotypes where literally just being sheep waiting for the sheepdog to bark orders at us, and I dont think anyone really wants to be a sheep.
