"You can't take my youth away, this soul of mine will never break."
The struggle of teenagers in today's society. Trying to change the world between the grasping hands of a couple of kids. We're all lost one way or another.
Roleplay as yourself, change what you need to in order to secure your privacy. But tell me what you're going through. Tell me what I can do to help.
The campfire is crackling green with the driftwood it was lit with. The beach is cold, the yellow sand shifting gently beneath our feet. There are tents pitched everywhere- in the beds of trucks, out here above the tideline. I've never seen so many kids in one place, wearing flannels under blankets to keep themselves warm, talking, running, laughing.
We are Generation Z And we're going to change the world and make it better.
I like that
What its true according to experts, we are one of the LBQT and gayist and most excepting generations there are. Its a shame no one listens to us though, which is why we gotta step up for ourselves.
We are the most accepting generation ever. I love that about us. We have so much potential, so much love for one another.
SO is this like an ourself rp? And is there a template?
Yup yup
Hmm
THIS IS A POSITIVITY RP!!!! everyone from everywhere is welcome! We're gonna talk about all the bad shit going on, and all the good shit, and we're gonna figure some stuff out.
I feel like this is really needed right now, for a lot of people.
Me too. That's why I wanted to start it.
Okay so all this Gen Z is dead inside stuff???? They're not. I've seen it. They joke about it, but they learned it from social media. Hell, even I joke about it. But so much of the Gen Z population are activists, so many of them are standing up to politicians, so many of them are doing more for this world than anyone ever thought they could. These 15-year-olds. It's honestly amazing.
Sexual harassment. Of all the stupid things that need to change. I'm fourteen years old, and yesterday and forty-year-old man whistled at me on the beach. One the beach for christ's sake.
Something like that happened a while ago, I was much younger than I am now. But it was so uncomfortable.
I'm gonna slide in here. Last year, my mum was getting her Masters Degree in Special Education, so we went to Armidale (it's in Australia) for the ceremony. We went out for dinner and I was wearing a tight-ish fitting dress. We went to Macca's after to get ice-cream, and a bunch of men whistled at me. I was only newly 14, and it scared the crap out of me.
Just reading all these posts has made me emotional, and that's a feat not many people can achieve. I've experienced absolute shit in my life and I'm ready to show what the thoughts in my head are really like.
For the longest time, I've never really known how I feel about things. This world is going downhill so fast in matters of maturity and how people treat others. I remember when there used to be a time when it honestly didn't matter how you looked, everyone was equal. But now…I just don't even know anymore. This probably makes no sense but it's how I feel…
One of the things I hate most is the teaching system in Australia. As I basically said before, my mum works in special education. Last year, something really bad happened (im not comfortable with saying it straight out) but nothing was done. AT ALL. My parents never knew that it took such a toll on me because I never told them. It caused me to fight with one of my oldest and closest friends (still REALLY sorry), but it was a really tough time.
No, I get that. I guess, as long as we think differently, we can change the way others think. People go with what is normal, it has been drilled into our brains from a young age what is 'beautiful' and what is not. So, if we can change the normal to thinking that everyone and everything is beautiful, then everyone's views may change.
It's like now if you don't look like you're about to go be a model, you aren't really accepted. At least in my school, it's that way. I hate it. I grew up loving myself, not caring what others think. But this school just killed my self-esteem.
sounds like you need to change schools. im really lucky at the school im at that i have a good group of friends who dont judge the others (not vocally, anyway)
That's the thing, I can't change schools.
That's the thing, I can't change schools.

Speaking of school..I gtg
