I'm white, but I am also Latina - I'll tell you though, as much as most people respect me for being half and half, I'm judged sometimes by my dad's skin color. He has very dark skin, and some of my friends were really shocked at first. I get a lot, "THAT'S your dad? He looks nothing like you." But when you look closer, we have similar features, and then there's what people can't see, we're completely alike personality wise.
I am female - Yeah, this is a pain occasionally. I feel like it isn't so bad now, but it will be when I get older.
I'm a plus sized-girl - I guess that's the nicest way I get put it. But you know what it means
This is the main thing I get judged on. There are only 4 girls in my
whole school who are overweight, so obviously the criticism is awful. I don't get picked on to my face necessarily, but I've heard some pretty bad things being said about me behind my back.
I am a teenager - 'Nuff said.
I'm not really rich - I live in a very rich county. And my town isn't so bad off either. It just so happens that we're one of the few families that isn't dripping money.
I am a B student - I used to get really good grades in middle school, but high school is really screwing me up. And in a pretty competitive school, where you're either failing or acing everything, it sucks to be somewhere in the middle.
I go to a small school with 500 kids - Um, everyone knows each others business?
I just switched from one clique to another - This is a bigger deal in my school than most people think. The girl part of my grade is only composed of four cliques. I switched last year from my old group of friends, the "perfect, popular, smart girls" to my new group of friends who are basically your average joes. We're wild and crazy, but we care about school, and we're all totally different. So the tough part about switching in such a small school is that everybody knows and gets in your business, and I feel like no one knows why I don't hang out with my old friends anymore. They're always like, "How could you leave such a nice group?" And I have to play dumb, but I know how they really treated me in the past.
I'm not confident - I guess this ties in with my weight, and the fact that I hate the way I look.
I love Broadway - As you could have guessed, I get teased for this a lot.
I wear clothes to be comfortable, not to show off my fashion sense/money - I'm not saying I wear sweats every day, I dress nicely. But I don't dress for school every day as if I'm going to my crushes' party at a club like a ton of girls in my grade do.
I am a Congregationalist Protestant - As I learned from my Global teacher, you can be judged by this. A Protestant, sure, what's the big deal. We're Christian, but different than Catholics. But a congregationalist is very accepting. At the church I go to, the slogan is "All are welcome", and we have gay assistant minister. But as for the global teacher comment, he laughed when I told him what religion I was and said, "No, you can't be!"
My almost 11-year old brother is Autistic - Since Daniel was diagnosed when he was 2, judgment has been a way of life for our family. Because of Daniel's developmental disorder, school services are harder to come by, as well as good aides. And he's been really lucky because he has a ton of friends, but yeah, I worry about what his life as an adult will be like. The world is a scary place, and I hope it's not too scary for him.
I can rub off as being quiet or shy - But it's only because I'm not confident. It's not because I
am quiet or shy! I love talking to people, and I can be very loud and crazy.
I like tons of varieties of music, from rap and hip/hop to showtunes - Okay, I've mentioned the showtunes already, but since I'm such a "nice and quiet girl" when people look though my iPod and find rap, they're shocked.
Our family vacation? Disney. - I can explain it in any shape or form, but it always comes out the same way...I love Disney! We go every year, to either WDW or DL. When I was little, it was like, "You're going to Disney World? Cool!" But now it's like, "You're going
where?" Eh, who cares. At least I love it.
I have acne - Surprisingly, most of my friends don't have acne. Which makes me feel just dandy.
I have never had a boyfriend - And yeah, it upsets me. Especially because almost everyone in my grade, and now friend after friend after friend is starting to get a bf. But I'm not one of those desperate people...I'm just waiting for the right guy.
Also...
I'm pro-choice
I'm all for gay marriage
I'm a Democrat - The majority of my town is Republican.
I'm tall, almost 5'8"
I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs
I get my hair chemically straightened
I was born with dislocated hips, and had three surgeries to fix them. Because of that, I have a teeny tiny limp, but you can't really tell.
(Couldn't think of a good one. =P)
