The Unpopular Opinions

School is a fucking joke. I’m not just saying that because I’m a teenager, I’m saying that because it’s the truth. I love learning, but hate school. I want to a neuroscientist when I grow up, I do need learning. But I don’t need standardized tests, judgement, waking up early, massive amounts of homework, bullying, dating, peer pressure, and massive stress levels. Because that’s what school is. School is exactly those things. Learning is going to new places, discovering things, meeting new people, finding out what you want to do with yourself, figuring out who you are, and loving people. That’s what learning is.

I do not believe in this “never settle for less than second best” bullshit. Yeah, athletes made this popular but it’s gotten so bad that we’re teaching it to our kids. Um, I’m no child development expert here but even I know that attitude will give a kid a complex.

We need to teach our kids that while being in first place is the goal, it’s okay to be in second place from time to time because then you learn from that. I know when I wasn’t top prize in anything, it made me analyze what I did wrong and work on that, not feel like I was inferior. 

I think we need to go back to the thinking that any prize is good and if it’s not first, you just work harder on what you did wrong. It’s called learning…look it up.

Maybe funny for 12 year olds.

Sometimes when she sings live, she can’t even reach some of the notes in her songs. She’s just a fit mom. I don’t get why people call these artists “talented” when she can’t even write her own songs or play any musical instruments. Too overrated.

I mean y’all should pay more attention on the actual Superbowl than Beyonce.

People, please stop making a big fuss out of Lance Armstrong. Yes, I think that the fact that he was using performance enhancing drugs while competing in the Tour De France is bad too but if you honestly think about it, he is not the only athlete out there that has done this. I mean, the reason why there was no one inducted in the Baseball Hall Of Fame this year for this reason. Did we hear much about that? No. Why should Mr. Armstrong be any different?

I hate when people say they are fat because they can’t afford to go to the gym or eat healthy.

You don’t have to go to a gym to burn calories. Running is free, look up videos online of just makeshift ways to work out. You don’t have to go to a gym to do it. Also, fast food is now way more expensive then food in the markets. If someone says “Well, I can’t afford to eat healthy.” then say “Well, you can now.” Fast food is really expensive now, it’s cheaper now to just buy food from your local supermarket. 

We should not be saying it’s okay to be overweight because it’s not. People come in all shapes and sizes and can be beautiful at a much heavier weight. BUT it’s not healthy. And if you are overweight, you can do something about it in a healthy way. There are no excuses any more.
