Gender Roles

Why are we told what to like and what to play with? Like why can't society accept guys that play with dolls without calling them gay and why do girls have to play with dolls but can't play with toy cars? I remember growing up, I never liked playing with Barbies, but I played with my dad's old toy cars. I also liked to watch shows like Digimon, Pokemon, and Power Rangers. When I Was little you were aloud to be more of your self.

Know in this society your told what to play with. When your born your parents if your a girl paint your room pink and if you are a boy they paint it blue. If you are a girl as a present when you are little you get dolls, even if you didn't like them.  For boys they do have action figures but how about if you like playing with a doll.

The way we dress is also is also chosen by society. Like guys are made fun off if they were Ugg, if your a guy and like to wear Ugg wear them with pride. Ugg were first invented for guys. It's cute when a girl wears boy clothing but weird for boys to wear girls clothing. If a guy does wear girl clothing its considered weird in our society.

Video games is also a guy thing that girls play but they are forced to play as a guy. It's been recently that video games have a female player or that you can choose. I play games and I can't play as a girl in the games I like to play like in Grand Theft Auto but I have heard that you can make a girl in the new one. There are also very few games out there for girls.  I don't even think I have games for girls, when I was little for my GameBoy SP and Nintendo DS. I still have a PS2 and use my PS1 games and all of those games are for guys. I love playing them, mostly Tony Hawk.

When you grow up the women is suppose to cook and stay home. Why have we left this stereotype be?  I know a lot of dads that cook and clean for their families. I also know a lot of women that work and support the family. As a girl I think its good to have a guy that cooks because if you don't have time to make dinner than who will, you will probably starve.

I Just started noticing that in life girls and guys are treated different. Guys are still treated better than girls. I'm kind of hoping that in 2014 games will be made for girls, pink and blue will just be a color, and that boys can wear whatever they want.

I would like to know your answers. So either post a comment or you can add a link to your blog or video on youtube.

Body Images

Everyone Has a different body type. The way you see body image can change from people to people. You can have curves or you can be skinny. You shouldn't be upset about your body.

To have the perfect body you don't need to be skinny. You also don't have to look like a Barbie. Barbie if she was a real person she wouldn't be able to walk, she would have to crawl because the ration of her body won't be able to support her breasts. If you have big breasts and bigger torso that's okay because it's just your body balancing its self out.

Weight is also a big factor in body images.  Weight has to do with your muscles, height, and fat in your body.  You BMI is the one that calculates your fat more. So if you are 5'11 and athletic and weight 135, that's okay because its your height and muscles. The taller you are the more weight you will have and the shorter you are the less weight.

Models can't determine how you look. Mos models on magazines are Photoshop or they wear a lot of make up. Some models do have a lot of freckles or those little brown spots. Jennifer Lawrence was once Photoshopped, they removed all the freckles she has.

If you do feel fat or overweight instead of complaining about it you should exercise and eat healthy. There is also a difference between having a healthy body and being obese. For me the perfect body image is having a healthy body, it doesn't have to be a skinny body. Just one that in a BMI scale it will tell me that I am healthy and I have a normal weight. I don't care if I have a lot of muscles and look fat.

This is what barby would look like

Don't Give Up

The struggle you are in today is the strength you need for tomorrow. Don't give up.

This quote simply means what whatever is going on right now in your life will eventually get better and give you all the power you are going to need for the future, so don't ever give up.

If you want to achieve something, don't just sit there and say that isn't going to happen and stop, keep fighting for it. If you want to make a school sports team, practice before the try-out, practice during the summer, if you can't afford a travel team to be in, just practice in your back yard. If you want to be a writer just write and keep practicing your grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

In the world there are many people that to get their freedom didn't quit just because something got hard. For example, J.K Rowling got rejected by 12 publishing companies. How about if she quit? Will I still be here writing about her? If she quit she would be another regular person in the United Kingdom.

This is my own story, I play volleyball and I din't try out in 8th grade because I thought since I have scoliosis I couldn't play. In 9th grade I tried out for the high school team and I didn't make it. I was about to quit and not play anymore again. Until my friends said they were going to try out but they never did, I still did and I made the team. Also, over the summer I went to open gyms every once a week and stayed in shape. Throughout the season I also improved a lot. I learned my position, I'm more confident, and more aggressive. I'm even planning to get even better to be in varsity.

People will also say things that will make you want to quit. Like:

"your not good enough"
"this is not for you"
"you suck"

But when people say that make them think the opposite and strive for your best. Have you ever given up on anything or wanted to give up on something but didn't?

Dreams

People are going to tell you that you can't accomplish your dreams. I am 100% sure everyone in the world can. 

My dream is to go to college in New York City and study Forensic Science or physiology. People are telling me living in the city is going to be expensive and I'm not going to listen to them.  No one can discourage  you. You can do whatever you set your mind to. 

I also once told my mom that I wanted to major in writing, which I really don't. As she told me not to because most writers don't end up being wealthy. She also told me that I won't have any money to support my self. I would like to to be a writer but not my biggest dream. I would most likely want to write fiction stories. If I did want to major in writing what my mom told wouldn't change my mind. 

So just remember that if you can dream it, you can live it and no matter what people say anything is possible.

Not Caring

I really can't teach you not to care, but I can sure tell you that whatever people say it doesn't matter.  It's not going to matter when your the president of the United States and every one who picked on you is working for you, it's not going to matter. Sometimes words are just words, they don't mean anything unless you make it mean something.

Like I made being called ugly into not being able to look in the mirror and saying you are sure a ugly girl.  When I know I'm not ugly, I have had people who have told me that I could be a model. Sometimes I let myself down and tell myself, "They're lying you could never be a model," but don't do what I do. Just believe in yourself. If you believe in yourself life would be easier and chances are that you won't care what people say about you

Not caring what other people say about you is a big freedom from stress. I think that makes sense.

Words

So I don't know if you like these but here is an other poem written by me s long time ago, like two-three years ago.

Words

Words hurt

Words lie

Words are nothing but bullshit

Words can kill

Words mean nothing to me

To me words are aliens

Aliens from outer space

Words cause suicide

Words don't tell me what to do

They tell me to be myself

Words can tell me that I'm ugly

Words can tell me that I'm weird

Words can hurt me

But words will tell me to be myself

Because I'm perfect the way I am

So that's a very old poem, tell me if you want me to write more poems here or not or if you want to read some of my old poems. That's one of many poems I wrote. That was actually the first poem I wrote for myself or other and not for school. So comment below if you actually like these. 

Smile, It'll Make You Feel Better

Guys in life we have to smile some time because of this 

If its proven to make you feel better just smile. I have a pretty ugly smile but I smile because one it could make someone else feel better or make yourself feel better.  When I'm in a bad mood, or upset I usually try to watch something funny. It usually makes me feel better and I get a pretty good laugh. If you ever feel upset or just not happy follow that tip. 

You Are Perfect

To everyone who think they are not perfect you are perfect in your own way.  No human being is exactly perfect but in your own way you are perfect. Your perfect wether you gay, or lesbian, weather you have a disorder or mental illness. You are PERFECT

Here is a poem I wrote about being perfect.

Perfect

You are perfect,

Weather your gay,

Weather your a clean freak,

Or cut.

You are perfect 

Perfection isn't something you can work on

It's something that happens

You can't choose if your perfect 

You may make make mistakes 

That doesn't make you less perfect

You are perfect

Don't let any one tell you,

You are not.

You are perfect 

As perfect can be.

Jessie Jmay have told you you're not perfect but Pink is telling you are. Making mistakes isn't what make you perfect or not, it's how you embrace them.
