16 Pictures That'll Make You Realize How Messed Up The World Is

I'll start off by saying that I by no means know if any of these are 100-percent true. Some are self explanatory, but some could be wrong. I'll have my beliefs and you'll have yours, but you can't deny that all of these will get you thinking. It might even get you mad enough that you'll want to do something about it, and all I have to say to that is–good! It's time for a change.

So now, without further ado, here are the 16 pictures that will make you realize how messed up the world is.


1. We're not the only ones on this planet.


2. Give 'em hell, kids.


3. We're what?



4. The Government seems to have a theme with this one.


5. 100 billion dollars a year corporation, yet no cure? Yeah... Okay.


6. Eating healthier = More money?


7. Throw people in jail instead of teaching them. Because that makes sense.


8. Are. You. Serious.



9. This one is unfortunately very true. (Via an ex-Electronic Media Emphasis)


10. Our education system is SO messed up... S.N.S.


11. Oh, so you got more funding from our test scores? Great, I'm glad. But, what is that teaching me?


12. Not a future anyone wants but, unfortunately, everyone seems to have.



13. Because this makes sense.


14. This too.


15. It's messed up, ain't it?


16. And, the biggest lie of them all: "I am free."


While we are more free than many other countries, which I am thankful for, we are nowhere near as free as everyone thinks, and that makes my skin crawl.

Again, you can take this article however you'd like, not everyone thinks the same as I do, and I understand that. But, you can't deny that this world is a tad bit messed up and it's only getting worse.

All in all, of course there is a lot of good in this world, but even with all that good, the bad shines so, so bright and with that brightness it sometimes gets hard to see the good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
