People Who Claim Things That Aren’t Theirs

I love my friends, but I also hate them sometimes. If they see something on TV the night before, they think that they have a right to make a claim on it as long as they say it first. According to them, I cannot make these emoticons: ={D, :D, B), or :p. Also, I cannot say the words “confuzzled” or “lawls”. They obviously did not invent these words. Why can’t I use them too?

When People Think They Can Eat Whatever They Want

Just because you are a normal weight doesn’t mean that you should eat whatever you want. You could get extremely obese and end up on a weight loss reality show. I’m not trying to be mean, but eating at McDonald’s every day will damage your body. It will send you to the hospital and you’ll end up on a TLC documentary.

Abortion Haters

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t necessarily approve of abortion. I would never get one. But what I hate is people who think it’s a sin and is always wrong, no matter the circumstances. These people don’t know all the facts behind abortion. It isn’t killing a “baby”. In fact, there’s not even a baby to kill. It’s just a brainless mass of cells. And sometimes people have reasons to get an abortion. One of my friends got one because she was raped and got pregnant. She knew that if she had the baby, she wouldn’t even be able to look at it. Her parents also refused to give it up for adoption. So for her, the choices were to either ruin her life with a baby that came out of a horrible experience, or have an abortion. I don’t think she deserves to be gossiped about and hated by the whole neighborhood and her classmates just because of a stupid belief of ignorant people.

Moody People

I don’t know if you had a bad day or what, but please, don’t take it out on me. I want to have a nice morning. I don’t want to be yelled at or scolded at the start of the day. I don’t want to come to school and see you in a bad mood. I don’t want to hear you snap at me for something that I say that you usually laugh at. Please get yourself under control.

Washing

Is there any point in washing? Let’s face it, we sweat all the time. If you walk, you sweat. If you run, you sweat. Even getting nervous makes you sweat. I’ve given up, so no more antiperspirant deodorant or after shave and no washing. Body odour smells lovely anyway.

Suggestions From the Opposite Gender

Neither wants to hear what the other has to say, in terms of looks, fashion, hygiene and other trivial stuff. Men don’t care what women have to say because they love themselves the way they are—they may be even proud of it. Women don’t care what men have to say because they do not live to impress men like men do to impress women. Unless they are doing something specifically to attract the opposite gender, like starving themselves into becoming twigs, or growing shaggy long facial hair (two things, which, despite their best intentions, are very unattractive), they do not need or want help. Health, fitness, and confidence will do the trick.

Sleep Forgetfulness

I hate when I’m about to go to sleep and I think of something I want to do, but fall asleep and when I wake up I’ve forgotten it.

People Who Talk About Suicide

I hate when someone talks about committing suicide or cutting themselves. Obviously you have to say something like “no, don’t do it”, because that’s the only real response, but if you do try to talk them out of it, they say “but I just can’t stop thinking about it!” Then why did you tell me?

Time

I hate it when I have loads of time on my hands, like I do right now. I finished school and am waiting for September when college starts. It’s gonna be the best course ever, but it’s taking forever to get here.

Feeling Empty

You know that feeling when things just kind of suck, like when you’re thinking about breaking up with your boyfriend, or are in a fight with your parents, or when you’re at a party and no one is talking to you? That feeling of being truly all alone and no one cares and you just feel empty? I hate that feeling.
