Dear Hilary,

Oh the same thing happens to me all the time. My walls of sarcasm and satire aren't understood by most people so they usually just think I'm an idiot. I've missed the boat on a lot of teenage things too, I'll never be caught with my 35 closest friends at a bonfire on a Friday night. (That seriously is commonplace here. Crazy place I live in.)

I'm working on being positive. My new year's resolution was to be positive. It's worked for almost three months now. I've noticed that afer a while it gets easier. I'm not a super optimist with rose-tinted glasses though, that's just foolish.

What's BA and BS? The only things I can think of are the swear words, and I'd never say those.

Dear Billy,
I weird people out, because I can't be myself around them. I don't know, they think I'm retarted or something.
Ahaha well, it's pretty common in the summer here. I think there a place called the junction that everyone goes to at the beginning of the summer. My friend has parties in the back woods of his house (he lives in the boonies and has a huge lot) but I've sadly never attended. I was working that night.
It's alright tho, his friends aren't attractive enough to bother going next time xD

My new years resolution was to have fun. So far, I haven't had any fun. The positivity only started this weekend. I realized I had to stop beating people down for liking things I don't like. It takes too much energy, and I hate it when people do it to me or my friends. I have a good John Green quote on that.

Bachelor of arts or Bachelor of science. One can't prescribe drugs, and the other can.

Dear Hilary,

I'm at the point where I really don't care what people think. I think I'm pretty funny, and I don't care who else does. I do need to work on being a little more tactful in public though.

I never get invited to bonfires, but I wouldn't go anyway. Yay, a bunch of the redneck hicks drinking beer and probably hooking up in the back of truck beds. Sounds like a great time. However, I do love a good group trip to Wal-Mart though.

Hils, I'm with you on the beating people down for liking things I don't. It's so easy to tear down their tastes because they like crap. I have to remind myself that taste is subjective. I dislike the music of Flo Rida, but I understand that there are people who are big fans. Being a musical elitist is overrated anyway. You have to like way too many indie bands to do it.

I make my life fun. I do mundane things, but I make them fun. It makes the day go by easier.

And I'm not real sure yet on BA/BS. It's gonna depend on funds and dedication.

-Shelby

Dear Shelby,
Lol, I know that!
I guess what I wrote wasn't the best or most correct way to differentiate them
Hilary

Dear Billy,
I obviously made a mistake in the difference.
I guess what I meant to say was, if you were going to bother with the science bit of it or not. I'm not very tactful.
I don't think I'd get into psychology, but I've already written off any sort of science or math degree in university. I didn't take a single science course other than the required Bio 11.
I don't think it's so much that I care what everybody thinks, but I could use some friends right now. And being awkward isn't really the best thing. I dunno, I think a lot of people at school think there's something wrong with me, they give me weird looks =/

Awh man, redneck hillbilly parties are my favorite! I dunno, a bonfire sounds so much more appealing than 200 people in one house drinking till they puke. I've become so adverse to alcohol lately. On the Europe trip the teachers were always drinking, and the kids too. I don't like the idea of people not being in their right minds. It bothers me to think that the people who are supposed to be looking after me are drunk and don't care. And I'm just afraid the kids would puke on me xD

I try to make things fun, but my friends are always busy or don't want to do things. I don't know how to have fun by myself anymore. I dunno, the most fun I have is a good shift with the guys at work. Which lately, has been never.

I don't have school tomorrow, yay! I don't have a full week of school till like, halfway through April, and then I'm leaving!
Hilary.

Dear whoever,
I hate it how people always assume things; this is especially annoying for me. There's another girl at my school who uses a walker, but she's in special ed. and I'm not. People always seem to think that we have the same issues, even though we don't. I also can't stand how whenever I bring up college, everyone thinks my only choice is to live at home. I really don't want to live at home, because then it would make me feel like I'm still in high school, and I still depend on my parents. I want college to be different; I want people to actually take me seriously, and see who I really am without any of the barriers I have in high school because of the teachers and whatever. I don't want people thinking I'm some kind of lost cause who won't make it in the world, who can't think for herself, or have opinions, or actually be worth being more than an acquaintance with. I'm not fragile, and I want people to realize that; I'm much more than they think I am, and no one bothers to find that out. It's hard in high school since there are so many people watching over me all the time, and I can't do what I want when I want. When people first see me, they assume I'm going to end up doing some kind of job that just about anyone can do since I have no other choice, or that I'm not even going to college at all, and I'll be living at home doing nothing until my parents can't take care of me. The truth is, I have goals, and dreams. I want a life. I want a job doing what I love. I want kids. I want to fall in love with someone who loves me for every little bit of me, even the stuff most people are scared to talk to me because of, or that people think I'm weird because of. I want people to see that I really am smart, and I can be funny, I'm one of the nicest and most loyal people you could ever meet, and I really am worth being friends with. I want to be my own person, not what people see me as. That's what going away to school would do for me. I can be whatever I want to be without anything or anyone holding me back. I know it's going to be hard to get to where I want to be, but I have 2 years, and I know I can do it, regardless of what people think. I know I can do it, and more importantly, doing it is what's going to make me happiest...and that's what going to motivate me most.

-Emily

P.S. Sorry about this being long; I had no clue I had this much to say. You don't have to read it if you don't want to.

 

[StitchfansJr]

Dear Emily,
I understand where you're coming from. There's a lot of special ed students at my school and they get laughed at. It's not really fair. But anyway, one of my only friends is in a wheelchair. I didn't ask him how because I was afraid it'd be rude. He's a really good kid, though. I just hate it when people put other people down because of something like that. I have a learning disability and I get put down because of that.
-Allie

Dear whoever Robin is asking to prom,
You will say yes to her or I'll go to where ever she lives and yell at you; she's an amazing girl. go with her.
-me

 

[Captain Brain]

Dear Hils,

I don't like the idea of everyone drinking too. That's what goes on at the redneck parties. Lots of drinking till you don't remember the night before...It would suck to have the people in charge of you on a trip to be out of their right minds. That's just crazy.

When you say you're leaving in April, where are you going?

~Billy

 

[disneyworldluvr349]

Dear Emily,
I am so very proud of you. You go girl!
-Robin


Dear Allie,
Seriously, that just made me so happy.
Thank you so so much. Your the greatest
- Robin

 

[StitchfansJr]

Dear Robin,
You're welcome. You too!
-Allie

 

[m!ssemmx0]

Dear Allie,
I don't get put down or laughed at; people think because I'm in a walker that I'm too "fragile" to handle being teased (or even talked to). I wish people would stop being so stupid and actually talk to me... maybe I'd be less quiet around certain people if they stopped avoiding me. They act like I'm not worth talking to because of how I look when I'm walking in the halls. They don't bother to see that I'm actually really smart, and I'm not mean at all (unless you're mean to me), and if you have my back I'll have yours. But no one pays attention to me just because of how I am on the outside. Part of it is because the teachers are so protective over me that it makes me look like something I'm not to the other kids. But not many people bother to figure out who I really am when I'm not being constantly watched by people, because they assume that's who I really am. That's why I think fending for myself in college is to be good for me, and it's going to get people to stop judging and just see me for what I am.
