Masks

As you all have seen I've been on a rampage about this stop bullying stuff. It's actually had a big impact on Facebook so I'm really glad people are standing up for things that have no concern for themselves. Following what you believe in is one of my main goals for this blog AND its actually working. So thank you to all my readers and people who have thrown me encouraging shout-outs.

While reading the stories and watching all the videos on bullying, which had to be at least 100 total documents, I developed my next idea for the blog. I asked my self one simple question. "Why do certain people get bullied and others don't?"

Well the answer was simple. It's because they don't fit in with the norm and are different in some shape, form or fashion.

But wait TK, in your blog "Definitions" you pointed out that no one is normal.This is correct. The reason people fit into a crowd and aren't different is because they mask who they are. People would rather be someone fake and fit in than be who they really are and stand out from the crowd. That's why being smart or  being the good girl instead of being dumb or a slut makes you uncool. When did this world become reversed of how it should be?

With all this being said, I decided to try a little experiment. Lets all unmask our lives. By showing who we really are there won't be "normal" people anymore, just a bunch of outstanding individuals. Awesome idea right?

Well since it's my blog and my idea to do this I figured I'll be the big guy hand go first. I'll share things that almost no one knows about me.

1. I'm a closet nerd. Not the kind that buries themselves in books but the geeky, gamer type. I absolutely love playing video games on the PC but I never really told anyone because I didn't wanna be called a nerd or geek.
2. I love classical music. It relaxes me and helps me open my mind. In fact, im listening to it right now. So if you don't like this blog, maybe I listened to the wrong song or something.
3. I am absolutely terrified of letting anyone get close to me emotionally. Everytime I try and let someone into my life, I push them right back out when they get to close. I'm a working progress though.
4. I can't stand to let people down. If I fail them, I've failed myself.
5. I would much rather have a good girl than a slut any day. I can't stand to see someone who is beautiful on the outside but on the inside is rotten to the core.

Well thats all I can think of right now but if you ask me a question i'll be happy to answer it 100 percent truthfully.

OK, now that Ive done it, it your turn. Post one thing that no one knows about you on Facebook. If you don't, your hurting no one but yourself. Don't be scared, people are going to judge you either way so why not give them the truth.

The Point-

People get bullied for actually being themselves and the bullies are usually the ones with the masks on. Am I the only one who thinks that backwards? Lets take the first step together on getting things back to how they should be. Who knows, maybe we'll save someone from getting picked on or beat up. Unmask yourself so we can see the beauty underneath.
