Dear "Concerned" Mom,

Please understand that when I tell you I'm fine, that I'm telling you the truth. Please realize that I am just going through my "moody teenage years" and alls I need to know is you care about me and you'll be there if I ever need you, but remember that I need space, too- just like you. My quick remarks such as "Oh you know, the usual- robbing banks, stripping for money, doing drugs, etc" is just my being annoyed with you asking what my plans are every two seconds. As my mother, you should know that I'm not into any of that stuff nor do I hang out with people who ARE into it. Get real! If I'm doing something out of the house- I'll tell you. What's wrong you ask? Oh nothing, mom. Just the fact I'm trying to watch a movie and you keep coming in. EVERY. TWO. SECONDS. to ask me questions. I mean, what do you want for dinner? We both know you've had tonight's dinner planned for about a week, what's the point in asking? Please remember that I'm not perfect and I'm not going to be able to live up to every single one of your standards no matter how hard I try. Please don't be too harsh on me when I get a grade lower than an A- on a paper or a test. Do you remember when you were in high school? That D+ I got on my last math quiz, I know you're not happy with it still, but I'm going to fail every once and awhile. The stress to live up to what you expect isn't easy and I will try my hardest, but no promises I will succeed.

Mom, I don't hate you, you know I love you and it's not just because your family. I understand where you are coming from, but you must understand that I need space. I need to make my own mistakes and learn from them. I need to see my choices and chose what's best. I get to decide what I want to do with my life, just like you did. You had your turn, it's mine now.

Antibullying.

SO many people are making antibullying stands and there are tons of websites, organizations, etc for it as well. My favorites (teenage bias) would be the ABCfamily "Stop Digital Drama" and DoSomthing.org (not just about bullying).

My favorite representatives are Megan and Liz two twins who are working their way up from youtube stardom as singers and are now recording their own songs and videos. They recently just released an antibullying song and soon will have a video for it, so I'd just like to share with you the lyrics video for it.

What's your favorite organization or who's your idol for this hot topic? Post in a comment below to share your answer!

That girl...

Ever feel like you're alone in the world?
You find yourself walking down the hallway and you see two girls whisper and point at you before they begin to laugh. "Yeah, that girl.." You just turn your head and look the other way, it's whatever, but really all you wanna do is drop right there in the middle of the hallway and break down crying.

Hi, my name is Jill and I'm a sixteen year old girl who's just trying to get by. No, I'm not depressed and I'm really not bullied or anything like that. I am an undiagnosed bipolar day dreamer. (Do those two things really fit together in a sentence? Nope, oh well). I'm a Junior in high school and I torture myself with too many AP and honors classes, but I manage to get by. I have divorced parents and two siblings and an amazing boyfriend of just over three months now. I believe in imagination and the fact that every human is beautiful. I dream in being fluent in two languages other than English and visiting all fifty states.

I intend to focus my blog on the things that I go through in high school or I witness other people, sometimes stuff to do with music or movies, etc. If you ever have any suggestions feel free to tell me!
