“I think fitting in is highly overrated. I’d rather just fit out... Fitting out means being who you are, even when people insist that you have to change. Fitting out means taking up space, not apologizing for yourself, and not agreeing with those who seek to label you with stereotypes.” -Golda Poretsky

“There are people who are generic. They make generic responses and they expect generic answers. They live inside a box and they think people who don't fit into their box are weird. But I'll tell you what, generic people are the weird people. They are like genetically-manipulated plants growing inside a laboratory, like indistinguishable faces, like droids. Like ignorance.” -C. JoyBell C.

Fitting in
       Everyday thousands of kids are bullied, down graded, rejected... hurt. It could be you, or me, or the new 20 year old neighbor, or the 80 year old man down the street. You can't stop it, but you can beat it. In hight school, when your faced with a choice of popularity, or being who you are, it's easy to pick the more glamorous route, right? But for those who just can't 'fit in', or better, those who 'stand out', they don't get that choice. But those girls who laugh them you and about them, who are the superior ones, the 'REAL' ones, those are the ones who are popular.. well... What exactly is the definition of real? Dictionary.com give's 5 definitions.. one being:
                         genuine; not counterfeit, artificial, or imitation
       So now lets break it down, but lets start with the word Artificial... what are some things that are artificial? Make-up is one, isn't it? Its a physical object, yes, but its main purpose is a mere optical illusion.
       Next is Imitation, all that artificial make-up, and the designer clothes, it all makes them look like they should be in a cheap ad for a clothing department. like they are Imitation someone famous, say a model.
       Finally we come to Not Counterfeit... well as the great dictionary says:
      1.made in imitation so as to be passed off fraudulently or deceptively as genuine; not genuine; forged
      2.pretended; unreal:
                Need I say more? If THIS^^^^^ is popularity, I would MUCH rather be the most unpopular girl in school. That isnt real. Real is being who you are. It's okay to stand out, some of the best people in this world where never good at fitting in. Do you think people like Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, or even that Arnold guy in california ever 'fit in' ...I didnt think so. Be who you are, because in the end, no one is better at being you than you. THAT is as real as you can get. THAT is real beauty.

  PS- heres the big question: are you REAL or are you POPULAR? :)

   My Name is Jodi, I'm a teen writer, fashion geek, and nature lover. I blog about everyday lives of people who want to make a diffrence in this world. I want to Take a stand, and speak for those who other wise can not, for whatever their purpose.
   You see, there is so much wrong with this world, and everyone on it has something to say. Some are to afraid to say something. I encourage people to speak up, advocate. Say what it is they want to say on any matter, weather its about politics, Bullies, drama, beauty, ANYTHING.
   So, how will this change anything? Simple. people can go insane if they dont say the things they need to, iwant to offer a safe place, where people can open up, ask questions. Everyday ill post a new topic, inspirational speaches. Some people need to say the things, that they can't normally say anywhere else. Im here to listen. 
   All in all, I want to make a diffrence. But my changing the world, starts with you, my readers.
-JL
