Why dont you look deeper? instead of handing out names.

Society has this way too give every name a description, for example: emos are those who listen too heavy Rock currently named as screamo, and emos cut themself or hurt themself in any way, or they are just depressed, there other given name is attention seekers, because of their wounds scars and cuts, most people will look at a person covered in dark cloths and heavy makeup with there iPod blasting of the sound of heavy screaming, and instantly they call them an attention seeker, well on my opinion their is nothing attention seeking about expressing pain. Do you ever wonder why they cut themself? Ofcourse you don't, because you have already glued a label too them, well maybe there scars arent for attention their from a broken heart, or a death of someone close, or maybe from being bullied, ignored, and judged! Maybe instead of staring at their scars you should look deeper too why their there!
Society also has this way too call people that focus on education and learning 'nerds' and in societys way, nerds are the opposite of being cool, I have never got an a on a test but I am jealous of those who do, I don't see how being smart has become a thing too be ashamed off, if we didn't have genusis' we wouldn't have the things we have today, we wouldn't have the things everybody takes for granted.
Society also likes too feed on hiding peoples talents, teenage poets, or any kind of creative righting or art are hiding a way from the spot lights, because society has made them believe that words are just words, and they can't make a difference, well I think they can, words and opinions can be the next big thing too change this world from dieing,
The list of labels and cruel expectations goes on and on and on, but I'm just a teenage girl, I don't have anything that will change this world I don't have a breath taking apperance or talent, I am not smart, but I do have the will too fight for what I believe in, and I'm sick and tired of society giving out labels, and telling people who and who not too be, we should fight back
