Dear Negative People,

You think its funny to pick on someone who you think is lower than you? You think its funny to make fun of someone who doesn't dress correctly? You think its funny to degrade them because of how they were raised/ where they grew up? To be racist towards other cultures. Skin Color, Religion, Sexuality and all the other things that you think are different from yourself?

Think Think Think Think Think Think!

Everyday in the hallways, classes, walking, you think you are such a "big shot" You think you are more powerful than anyone at age 19 everyone says it's the way you were born; you were born racist, sexist, and homophobic. No. People think it's because of that but it's not. No, its the way you were RAISED. Raised by your parents. Raised by your school, and your community.

In this day and age you think of people differently. You mess with them when no one is around or no one is looking. People see, and people talk. People talk about everyone! No matter where you are, or who you are people talk.

No one WANTS to be pushed around. No one WANTS to be made fun of. Afraid to go somewhere, afraid to cry. Why? Because of the negative people like yourself.

When you walk,
You talk
About what?
About the girl
The girl that wants to fit in.
When you walk,
You talk
About what?
About the boy who is lonely.
When you walk,
You talk
Why?
Because you are afraid,
Afraid to be that girl,
Afraid to be that guy.
When They walk,
They talk
About who?
About you.

Everyone will talk, everyone will start drama wherever you are. You have to believe in yourself and ignore the "haters" you need to love yourself for who you are! You can't control what people say, you need to be yourself and smile and pat yourself on the back. You are loved and you are strong.

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.
