You Could be a Hero

Since nothing ever really happens to me worth talking about I'm going to keep talking about important things in a life of a teen... today I'm going to talk about bullying and "loners." I didn't really come up with this idea on my own. I'm listening to my favorite song right now and it's about being a hero to someone else. The song is called Hero by Superchick. I really wouldn't advise listening to any of her other songs because the words don't really flow together in a song. Maybe if she wrote them in a poem they would be good but the words don't really rhyme. Ok... back at the topic at hand because I am slowly getting off topic.
To be honest I get the whole wanting to be popular and have all these friends and being that person everyone wants to be. I get that, I used to be that person. I look back and wonder what made me want to be "popular." I was pretty nice to everyone and I had a lot of friends. The way I became "popular" was by not standing up for someone when others were saying things about them. In all honesty... I'm very unhappy when I think back to that. Now that I'm more of the "loner" type character out in the world.... I can stand up for whatever the hell I want to. When people are bad talking someone I'm not afraid to tell them wrong or make them look at it from their point of view. Seriously though... I don't think anyone deserves to be bullied or hurt. Even the people I'm scared of the most because of what they've done to me in the past shouldn't have to go through that! I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I've felt both sides of this fight. Both of them way to well. I'm pretty shy... so at first being a "loner" was pretty scary... but to be honest all those people who are called "loners" are some of the nicest people I've ever met. They aren't perfect people because no one is... don't let anyone else tell you that others are perfect when your not. I've had to deal with so much (enter swear word here) from bullies and people who think their "popular" that I could drown in it! Even with all the people I had bulling me... I don't think I've ever had anyone stand up for me. I've stood up for other and helped others but that's just me! We don't know what they go through at home and we don't know how well they can deal with people bashing them for being themselves. Stand up for others and stop thinking about who is going to try to hurt you. I've stood up so many times for others and my bullying never got worse. (It never got better though either) Join our fight for whats right... no matter what your age is... you can be a hero. Be the voice for the ones who won't speak up for themselves! Our time is now... be a hero before it could be too late! <3 (sorry about my ranting... but this is something I'm very passionate when I talk about it)
Be a Hero
