    Carneneshow haha I don’t think so. Some people in my class act cool and think they’re badass. You think that will get them anywhere?!?! I’ve even overheard some of the popular kids saying “Ima dropout when I get the chance.” They are literally planning to fail. And yes they are popular many people talk to them.

    No they dont fail, in my class are people whose notes are better then the other 10 th grades but they always like look at each other. And i have a friend who sits next to me in English, shes English isnt that good as mine and another girls comes to me and she like “Why dont you show your exam to her that she can write that stuff in hers” and im like “if she wanted to she could have look but she should study that stuff and not copy it from me!” and she said “okay selin 👌🏻” pretending everthing is fine. I really want to say “b*tch” but i dont swear all the time like her. Haha and she pretends she şs a kind and good girl.

    The thing is, mostly, everyone in high school is mature. Some just act like kids because they want to. They're aging, growing up, becoming an adult. They don't want to. They don't want to feel the responsibilities of life crushing them down moment by moment. I'm a high school student myself, and countless people have told me this. It's not about being mature at this point. It's about having as much fun as you can before you are forced to become just another boring, sterotypical adult. I wish some were mature, but I understand why they aren't, and I feel like other people need to understand it too.

    Demons exist, and the devil comes to steal kill and destroy and uses people to do so❤ Btw telling the demon to stay doesnt do anything unless you have the holy spirit you arent safe. People: okay please stay this is your place❤ Demon: okay People: **leaves** Demon: **Goes with them anyway** Demons arent gonna make it obvious they are there so yeah. Demons are fallen angels that uses the form of our passed away loved ones to make us believe ghost exist and the souls of the person we knew still remains here❤❤ Astrology is demonic before my relationship with God I would always do zodiac signs literally just a bunch of sins put into each one I bet if everyone was sinless zodiac signs wouldn't make sense and literally a cover up for demons❤ Hearts are deceitful above all things, listen to God❤ Depression can be a demon you may need deliverance❤ God said unless you're born again spiritually u will not enter the kingdom of heaven also God doesn't judge us by our good works he's judging us by our sins Gods standards are so high he's that HOLY saying oh my God is using Gods name in vain it's called blasphemy ❤ To get to heaven you must believe with all your heart that Jesus died and rose again paid full price for your sins repent and receive his Holy spirit. KZreadrs I recommend Impact videos ministries David diga Hernandez IsaiahSaldivar Mapalo DLM christian lifestyle Billy garham Danial adams Living waters Okay now pray this to be saved and to get to heaven pray out loud Jesus I confess that you are my lord and savior I believe in my heart that God raised you from the dead I ask to receive your holy spirit and I repent of my sins with your help❤ by faith in your word I receive salvation now Thank you for saving me! I am now reborn a christian a child of almighty God I am saved thank you Jesus! *Be genuine when praying this* Watch videos on how to receive Gods holy spirit on YT God creates Jesus redeems The holy spirit changes Now our good deeds and works we think are good are like filthy rags in the eyes of God Things to get rid of in your home 1sage 2dream catchers 3crystals 4crystal ball 5ouija board 6 tarot and angel cards 7religious statues 8demonic movies music or video games 9soul times items 10pornography Now like a theif robbing a store, demons won't make it obvious they are there unless they have to. Now know you can't save yourself Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life You have insurance on your house if it ever caught on fire which rarely happens but when it comes to your soul, you play with it like you have forever to make your choice which you don't 150k+ people Die everyday and you never know when it may be you God spent 9 months shaping and forming you before you were born but only 7 days on earth you're fearfully and wonderfully made beautiful in the eyes of God❤ Don't waste time Hearts are deceitful above all things ask God for wisdom and understanding we are just tiny humans with a 3 pound brain and our imaginations cannot go beyond what we already know❤ Your souls is so valuable both Satan and God want it but it's your choice who you will serve You serve the devil when you Lie Hate Blasphemy Disobey Lazy Gossip Gluttony Wanting what others have cause what God has for you is for you he will never deliver your male to someone else's house Hate And unforgivness And cussing murder and more And once you die, you're locked with your choice of where you're spending eternity God doesn't care about you doing more good then bad cause he's not judging that God never said that's the way to heaven So who's lying you or God? Be serious about this❤ God is holy and righteous God is love So either you would play around because you don't believe hell exist or you don't believe you're going there but the bible makes it very clear The path to destruction is wide and easy many are on it the path to eternal life is hard and nerrow very few find it and to get into heaven u can only enter through the nerrow gate❤ You dont have to wait until you die to know if youre going to heaven you can know right now 100% where youre going❤ Satan doesnt rule hell this is a myth when lucifer known as satan now became prideful and rebelled against God he took many angels with him Demons are fallen angels we live in a spirital and physical world so hell was made for punishment for satan and his angels and the reason why people go there is because they Align themsleves with the devil in SIN! Sin separates us from God and the wages of sin is death if youre found guilty with one sin on judgment day you will not enter the kingdom of heaven so the thing is We us humans broken Gods law and jesus paid the fine! So the good news is you dont have to go to hell if you accept him as your lord and savior! God offered us eternal life as a free gift and you receive it by faith! You dont have to work for it you dont have to pay all you have to do is receive it by faith❤ Don't expect Gods best when you always give him your least don't reject him anymore let him come in and change your life❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    It's not always an option to not care about what others think about you because many don't stop at thoughts and cause you very real harms, not just words. Especially when they realise you don't care about them, they do everything to catch your attention and hurt you. They are probably socio- or psychopaths I guess, certainly not humans, but there are so many of them it's baffling.

    Agree, but the memorizing bit... It's kindof like performing a song that you've composed. You know it well enough that you can improvise off the base, and the end product is more or less the same, because the expression is your own. That is to say, its not like regurgitating a chapter from a text book. Not to say it's not impressive, because she's awesome. The process is just much more intimate than raw memorization, as its a part of the whole.

    This is exactly why I stopped caring. I used to be insecure. I used to think I was fat. I used to get bullied. But one day, I guess something changed. I stood up for myself. I stopped thinking I was fat. I stopped looking at my eyebags wishing they were gone. I don't get bullied that often anymore. I have one or two friends, but for me that's enough.I stand up for others. I believe that you, the person reading this, can do it too. Yes, I still sometimes feel a little insecure, but then I remeber how far I've come. The things I went through. I feel proud of myself. And I want everyone here to know, that I believe in you.

    I'm a 7th grader now, and this poem is more true than anything I've ever heard. This girl is very special, I'm going to write down the whole poem right here. 'Why am I not good enough?' by Olivia Vella One, take a shower, you don't wanna smell Two, pick out an outfit that will fit in with the latest trends And won't make you the laughing stock of the school more than you already are Three, put on some makeup So you can actually show your face in public And be a little bit pretty You can't even recognize yourself And your face tingles with an unrelievable itch you can't satisfy Otherwise you will have ruined the hours of meticulous painting You applied to your hideous face Four, don't forget to style your hair in elegant curls You can't let everyone at school see how your hair frizzes up Like an electrocuted monkey naturally Five, shove your fat feet into those toe pinching, Blood blistering Converse that everyone at school is wearing And you cannot be the odd one out As you gaze into the bathroom mirror You see a stranger that somehow stole your reflection And replaced it with a completely different girl Every part of your outfit is uncomfortable But even though you spend hours trying to look pretty You will never be as good as those other girls at school You are actually holding back a few tears But you feel like you are holding back a tsunami of emotion You can't let anyone else know how you feel Otherwise they will never respect you the same way they used to, Or did they ever... Why am I not good enough? Beauty is pain Six, get off the bus Seven, find a group of people you can walk to class with Because heaven knows you can't just walk alone But you don't even like these people They cuss and they make dirty jokes a lot And they laugh and make fun of you You know you shouldn't hang out with them But hey, they are the popular kids, And you just want people to like you like they like them You are in the stocks, As people throw judging tomatoes And hating heads of lettuce at your insecure little head You cannot stand up for yourself Because you are alone, trapped, and defenseless And you cannot stand up for yourself Because these popular kids are like the royalty of the school And apparently, what they say and do goes You take each comment, Each judgement, Each assumption, Each opinion, Each strange look, Each remark, Each criticism, Each review, Each report, Each assessment And with it, your self esteem plummets like a sinking ship Down, down, down, into the dark and dreary depths below You look at all of the other girls, your mind racing a mile a minute I wish I had her eyes, I wish I had her hair I wish I was as skinny as her, I wish I had her perfectly straight white teeth I wish that I had her social confidence, I wish as many boys liked me as they liked her Why am I not good enough? Life isn't fair Eight, get your work done The only part of your life that seems solvable is the actual schoolwork You take pride in your work because it is possibly the only thing special about you You do it to see the radiant smiles on your teachers' faces as they applaud your work Their joyful praise is the gentle rain that brings forth a magnificent rainbow. That radiant sunshine that brings forth fields of sweet daisies One of the only things that brings you happiness, But it is not popular to be smart. In fact, you are seen as a nerd, Too smart, Human calculator, Brainiac, Geek, Teacher's pet, Suck up Whatever wonderful name you can think of You peers' jealousy is the pollution that prevents a rainbow, The bulldozer that plows through the fields of once golden daisies The intangible object that crushes your happiness like a bug, A's are getting you nothing but torment Why am I not good enough? Just get over it Nine, it's the end of the day, get ready for bed Ten, undress, get your pajamas on. Wow, did I get fatter today? Eleven, undo your hair. Wow, my hair looks like a mop. Twelve, wash off all of your makeup... I can't even look at myself. This is my life every day, I can't control it. I've been told I can't compare apples and oranges, I've been told I'm distorted I've been told I have to be grateful for who I am But going through your middle school years, You are on your own journey to find yourself on a small jet And sometimes, you cannot control what happens to you The turbulence will throw you off course, But popular isn't always a good thing You tell yourself "I just want people to like me," "I just want to be accepted" But skipping meals and marking up your wrist isn't going to fix that You look at other girls wishing you were them But other girls are looking at you wishing they were you Society infers, "Girls have to have skinny waists, Tan skin Long silky hair, Perfectly straight teeth, Big butts and etc." Society infers, "Girls have to wear tons of makeup to be pretty." Society infers, "Girls have to wear skanky clothing And do inappropriate things with boys to be happy and considered cool." But society is wrong You are loved You are precious You are beautiful You are talented You are capable You are deserving of respect You can eat that meal You are one in seven billion And most of all... You are good enough

    2:57 The only thing that brings you joy. Until you go so far into the void that you lose motivation, and you lose your happiness too. Until you get too deep, and it’s too late for anyone to get you out of the sinking quicksand of anxiety and depression. (My own thoughts and experiences) I absolutely love the emotion she put into her words. She speaks the truth that every kid has been dealing with but every adult overlooks. She’s a wonderful young woman and I know she has a bright future ahead. (Also I’m literally gonna cry this girl is precious and must be protected at all costs)

    Soon or later, society will do that. That's what they did to me. All what I ever wanted was ppl to love each other and themselves. I had hope and I gave it to strangers , and I believed I could change the world to make it a better place for us to live. But I was wrong, society wants ppl to be bad. After all, I'm just one in 7 billion, I can't do it alone..

    San Zr it’s so sad but I am now thinking the exact same thing. When I was younger my only wish for the world was world peace and happiness for everyone, now as a almost teen I know that society wants u to fail, they want u to feel bad about urself so they feel good about them. All society is is a huge race to the top and they will pull ur hair to get ahead the will trip u up and they will knock u down but sometimes u don’t even want to get back up because u KNOW IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, u know it’s only a matter of time until the next person breaks ur heart u know ur spiral down to the starting line is just around that corner and u know that it’s not even going to make a difference because no one will even notice but if u tell them the laugh they make life torture and they will make it worse. No one can win in this world, no one can touch that finish line and taste victory. No one ever has and they never will

    "... or did they ever?" Is a genuinely brilliant line. She has potential. This is a very compelling stream of consciousness poem and I would like to see her attempt something with more structure and flesh out her ideas more. For example, "tsunami of emotion", is wonderful but then she moves on without developing the analogy further and does not refer back to it later in the poem. I give her a solid A, holding back that A+ for something more thematically developed. Yes I realise this was six years ago! I wonder if she still writes. :D
