Things Do Get Better.

Hey guys! Alyssa here! Today I'm going to talk about labels. Alright, so being labeled isn't always a bad thing. For example, guys who like other guys label themselves gay. Girls who like other girls label themselves lesbian. People who like both genders label themselves bisexual. You are able to label yourself anything that you feel you are. For example, gay, lesbian, bisexual, goth, emo, girly, punk, etc.. But then there comes a bad part to labeling. People label others things without knowing if a person really even fits that label. They just label people based on assumptions. For example, just because a boy walks a certain way, hangs out with mostly girls, and has a higher voice, they label him "gay". Unless that boy specifically stated that he's interested in men, you have no right whatsoever to call him gay. People also label others hurtful words such as fat, ugly, and stupid. Just because another person calls you these words, doesn't mean you are. Don't take it to heart. I understand that it hurts, but the only thing that matters is how you view yourself. But to the people, who are calling others these hurtful words.. That person you called ugly, is beautiful to someone else. That person you called fat, may have a slower thyroid. That person you called stupid, may have a learning disability. Watch your words. Before you label someone, think about the affect it can have on them.
