Hey, blogettes! I'm sitting at home chilling on my bed, and one acronym has been on my mind for the whole entire day, and I know you were probably thinking it as well. The acronym was TGIF or Thank God It's Friday. I was totally ready to get home and chill out for the weekend after a rough week at school, and now that the time has finally come, I have found amazing ways to spend it. I am making sure that I write a post that is fairly decent in length for you blogettes to read while I have the free time, and then I will be prepping things for the vlog that I will be doing sometime soon, once the musical is down pat and sorted, and things are ready to rock for that.
I would have had time to shoot a vlog a long time ago at practice, but we had sets to build, and we still have sets to build. The show that we are doing have a lot of sets, and it is going to be hard to get them all done in time but we will manage. To tell you how far behind we are, I have no clue what my at least three costumes look like because I haven't tried anything on yet. I have also not figure out when I will go and change especially in one scene where my costume change is going to have to be fast since I am a waiter, and then I switch to a cop. I get to arrest a high schooler in the play, and it is just weird as noted before.
However, that is what I made my seventh grade year about, is to get over all the weird stuff, and push myself to do the things that are out of the box. I am going to do the things that I want to do even though I am still faking myself for the most part. People at play practice are mostly high schoolers who know me but they don't know me too well, so I can open up and be myself because they don't judge unless they are my sister, and then they judge way too much. I have a lot of fun knowing that I can just blossom into a human being where I am normal, and kind of show people my true colors.
Even some of the seventh graders and other middle schoolers are okay with me not faking it anymore because they like me either way, and they are pretty flexible. They don't care who I am and they would never make someone feel like they weren't good enough. That's what I like about the drama people. They are nice, and they understand you and accept you. They make you feel like you are wanted, and that you do matter, being who you are and not changing a thing. Sure we are faking some things because we are onstage as actors or actresses, but there are certain times where you are able to show people your style, and by that I mean your hair because small parts, most of the time, the directors do not care what you do with it because they are busy fixing the hair of the bigger parts which do matter.
I love doing drama because I get up there, and I feel so free. I feel like I can be anything, and there isn't any limits. I feel like the people out there are just my friends, and I get through it, although it is intimidating at first. I'll admit having a gym packed full of people, and you being up there on a hot sweaty stage, doing your thing, and praying that you are doing it right, so you don't look like a fool, I have got down pat. Being on top of someone's shoulders, and doing jumps and flips is something that I am not thinking of doing ever because it's easier for things to go wrong then. It's easier for people to get hurt, and it would be the case where that person would be me because I am super clumsy.
Things never get old though, and I keep coming back every year hungry to do more, because I have so much fun each year, and I get over my fears quickly. The stage is my friend. It is where I belong, and where I can go when I am having a bad day just to express myself and clear my mind. It's a place where I can focus on being a stronger person better. It makes my life easier knowing that there is someplace to get away, and someplace where the real me shines through. If only I had a way of showing that to the world without talking during the show. If only they could see a piece of the real me because I know it would shock some of my classmates who come to the show.
Oh yeah, blogettes! Never go to fast on the monkey bars because you could miss a bar, and hit your forehead really hard causing a concussion to happen. I have a mild concussion right now, and it really does hurt. Although you rarely die from concussions they are serious even the mild ones, and you should be really careful and try to lay low and take it easy for a couple of days at least. This is hard if you are super active like me.
The teenage years are a whirlwind, with people trying to find who they really are, and hopefully our blog will help us all survive these odd years of our life.

Just Hangin
Hey, blogettes! Right now I am in reading block but our teacher is allowing us to talk since it is Friday, and we have a lot to talk about. I'm so excited for the musical that is in two weeks. We have been working really hard at it and it is starting to come out great. It's going to be a great show, and there are some middle schoolers in it. Way to represent...even though it is a little weird. I mean I still haven't gotten used to being on top of a high schoolers shoulders in one scene, and then getting to arrest a high schooler in another scene. It is just crazy fun, and kind of awkward especially when I go up to arrest that high schooler for assaulting the bodies that are piled around him.
Thank goodness, I don't have to arrest my sister because that would be really weird. Anyways, class ends soon, so I better get ready to go, but I will write soon. I just thought I would get a quick post in because I don't know when I would have some more free time next.

Words Hurt! Blogettes Be the Solution
Hey, blogettes! I am here to say that words can hurt people, whether they are through notes, comments left online, texts, or verbally, they can still hurt, so it is important that you chose your words wisely, and think before you say something, because if you don't want to hear it be said to you, or any of your buddies why bother saying it or writing it and sending it or putting it in someone's locker or on their backs? Think about how you would feel and react if you were the person that this was happening to.
If this is happening to someone you know, comfort the person, and tell them that the things aren't true and everything is going to be okay. Tell them what you think of them, and be honest with them because that is what they need at a time where something like this happens. They'll be in emotional shock so they might need you to repeat yourself plenty of times just to get the positives stuck in their heads.
I also find something I enjoy if the day is going rough, and that usually cheers me up. I also enjoy talking to someone about it, and making sure that they are working to ensure that it doesn't happen again, and that I can feel like I belong where I am at, although right now, they are far from reaching that with everyone going out of their way just to avoid me. Another good tip is just to laugh it off and act like nothing in the world is bothering you even though pretty much everything is bothering you. You can't let those people know that they are getting to you, or else they will continue to pick because they found a willing target.
You don't want to be that willing target, you want to be the defender of the willing target. You want to be the one who ends it, not the one who let's it happen, or starts it by reacting to what is going on. I am encouraging all my blogettes to be the solution. Be the good in this world, and show those people that feel unloved, ugly, worthless, fat, and whatever else they have been called true that they are the total opposite. Make them feel like they matter, and that they do belong, and are good enough, and not to change for anyone because god made them that way for a reason, and they need to respect that. They need to know that this is a rough time for everyone but it does get better. They need to know not to change because they need to focus on what really matters which is their future.
Remember this, it's what's on the inside that really counts and matters. You are wanted, needed and totally loved. You matter in this world, and there are people out there who will stand up and help you fight back. People care, and you just have to give things a chance. This is a rough time, but thank god there are people willing enough to help you through it. Stay on the path that you are on and change for no one but yourself as that will make your future brighter. You are bound to find yourself quicker and easier and know that it is really you if you make the changes yourself and let no one lead you into them. You will have to fight for what you believe in at times, but that is okay, because true fighters, and those with confidence in themselves will always come out on top.
I'm going to organize another blue out sometime soon, and I'll post more blue out details as soon as they are planned so be sure to check this blog often or come and hunt me down at school for all the latest information, as we might be syncing the blue out with the bullying seminar as it was dubbed blue out against bullying last year.
Anyways, to sum this post up, I am challenging you blogettes to be the solution, the people who are and do good in this world, and to help those who have been hurt. It doesn't matter if they are boy or girl, or what their age is. If they are having a rough day, go and lift them up and show them that they do matter, and are so much better than what has been said. Be strong, stand up, and use your voice! You could really make a change in this world, and possibly even be saving a life if the person was thinking suicide because it was going on for so long.

Homecoming Week 2013!
Hey, blogettes! It's the final school day of homecoming week, and it's an early out, plus it is Friday, and the list of all the amazing things could go on and on. I love homecoming week because it means a cookout, and you can get away with dressing like an idiot because nobody cares. I love my school because we really know how to party, and have a fun homecoming week. We also have set building at musical practice this afternoon, and during our free hour, so that is going to be amazing as well. I have a lot of time to kill before my next post, and I decided to type a post for my blog because I don't know when my next down time will be as you can tell by how much time there is in between my posts.
It's hard to think that our last meet is a week from Saturday, and that the musical is three weeks away. I feel like I am more ready for the musical than I am the state meet for cross country. I'm so nervous because I am the only female going to state from my school, and I don't know if I am going to be able to be on a team or if I am the only seventh grade female going all together. I always physic myself out before a meet, because it is so intimidating while you are in your small chute waiting for the gun to go off. Then when the gun goes off everything does finish, and you are focused on staying with the pack and finishing the race because you had the courage to start you have to finish. That is just a rule of thumb.
I can't wait until cross country next year because we will be doing the same meets, and now that I know what it is like, and now that I know what I need to train for in the off season, my eighth grade season should be of no problems for me. I can be up there with the rest of the people of my team leading us to victory, and maybe if I get really good I can be behind the lead gator the whole time. Now that is the best feeling ever because that sets the pace for me. I love hearing the motor and picturing it as the tempo for me running. Sometimes I keep up, and other times I have to fall back. Keeping up and fighting is what we are supposed to be doing so I avoid falling back at all costs.
I love set building, and that is what we are doing as well as rehearsing a few scenes. I love it because I love art even if this is a set and certain form of something that we are supposed to be doing, and we can't express ourselves all the way. People have asked me what my favorite part of homecoming week is and I said it is either the powder puff and burning of the L on Wednesday night or the cookout that we have today. I also said that I like the football game because hello that's the whole point of homecoming is the football game at the end of the week. We are against a team that we always win against, unless something has changed this year.
Anyways, that's all I have to say, so I'm going to go and read my book now since I am in a really good part, and dying to continue on with it.

Skyrocketing Views
Hey, blogettes! I just want to take time to send a shout out to you ladies out there for really stepping it up and viewing my blog, that is so amazing, and kudos for you for doing that even if there isn't anything new posted, I know that some of you ladies read my old posts. It is good to know that even though I don't write as much anymore that you are still viewing my blog. I promise you that I will write more posts, and keep my word on some vlogs, but there has been no time for me to make a great vlog because it is too noisy around my house, and my room is not a good hosting place. I am going to wait until musical practices go longer and we don't have as many stage calls and then get sent home. That's what has been happening lately.
I might be going to the dance tonight after all because it sounds like the dress code has been lowered, and some people in my grade are just going in a t-shirt and shorts because they say that it is not worth dressing up for. I agree with them. Don't get me wrong there or anything, I do trust those people it's just that sometimes they change things short notice, and I miss out on the memo, and then I look really stupid. I don't need that feeling again, because I had it all last year. It's the dreaded feeling of not feeling that you are good enough even though you worked your butt off. I guess I'll wear a dry fit shirt, and shorts to the dance, and just pull my hair back into a ponytail.
Besides, today's workout for cross country was tough and very tiring for me. It also didn't help that I had an allergy attack in the middle of it either. That really put me behind and made me work harder to get back up to pace. I also have a problem that most runners have had at least once in their career. I have double shin splints, and my right one decided it would be fun to grow worse, and bother me badly throughout the toughest practice by far. It didn't help that we were doing track work, but you know, I guess it was a good thing that we were doing the track because I was able to run in and get my inhaler to help with the allergy attack. Anyways, you get the idea, I am too tired to put a lot of effort in my look for tonight, so I'm not going to even bother trying to look good.
I know that some people might find fault with me for doing this, but tough. I am used to it. I am not good enough at school, so I know it's no different at dances. I'm dressing for myself, and not anyone else, so if you hate my outfit avoid me. That's the only thing you can do, because I am not going to change it. Anyways, I have an hour before it is showtime so I better get going now. Gee time really does fly I guess.

Busy As A Bee
Hey, blogettes! I'm so sorry I haven't been updating this blog a lot. I have been super busy, and enjoying the teenage on the go lifestyle, that has been treating me quite well actually. I have learned to listen better, pay attention to the details, even the small ones, and be more organized. I don't have the getting the facts right down just yet as I found out today during cross country practice. At the state meet, our team actually got first out of all the class 3A and 4A schools in the state, so we have a lot of pressure on our shoulders nearing the end of the season, and that meet. I'm so nervous, and the coach said that since we have such a large team that it isn't required for all of us to go, and besides this year there is an entry fee, and stuff like that making it hard for some people to be able to go.
I'm going to go because it sounds awesome, and I think since I have improved so much this season, that I have what it takes to represent my school, at the state meet. I feel like there needs to be at least one person from the smaller school there to represent, and show them that it is not about the bigger school, it is about how well our team sets aside our differences to go out there and kick some butt. We have been doing that at our past two meets with second place finishes in both of them. I can tell that the whole team is getting better because at our first meet, we just barely placed. In our second meet, we placed, but we were't in the spots that ranked. Those are the spots where everyone wants to be. Those are the spots that according to our coach gives that team the confidence to go off to their next meet, and kick some more butt because they have something like that to look forward to.
I just have even more confidence now that I know that I am a part of a team that is currently holding a state title. Yeah, there is some pressure to go out there at every meet and be good, because all the other teams have stereotypes of us, because we are the champions, but it also means that we are humble about it, and sometimes we are good sports, and we let other teams win for a change. Not anymore though, it is time that our guns, and our second winds come out, and we get that kick to go out there, and push ourselves to go faster than ever before because it really is go time now. We need to show the world what our true game faces look like, and that they will have to fight hard to be with us. We are the big dogs that rock the house, and to roll with us, you really need to bring it, and expect by the time we are done with you, that you will have a new outlook on the sport, and you will realize that what you were doing wasn't good enough because you could still give more.
Now I know why we have a cheer that is something about being champions and going out there, and leaving it all behind because that is what it takes and stuff. Now I know why everyone is pressuring me to be better, and to go hard and not give up. We are a team that does not give up, and it only gets stronger. However, with all the injuries we have had this season, that may put the title on the line, and those who are fast need to be faster, and those who are in the middle of the pack need to break free, and those who are in the back need to speed it up because this year, it will really take all of us to keep that title our own. I know that I want to look back on this season and say that I gave it my all, and I really proved to myself that I can do anything. I grew as a person, and my eyes were open. I went through things that I thought were impossible a couple of months back. Now, I know that nothing is impossible if people just push themselves to practice and try harder at the thing.
The musical is coming a long just fine, and so are the dance moves. I have learned to trust some of the high schoolers because in some scenes I will be on their shoulders or have to do something that involves them making contact with me in places where normal contact is not made. I know that sounds really gross and wrong, but there was no better way to describe it. I have also tested the patience of some people, and I bet that by the end of the show, they will just want to yell or do something to get me to shut up and go away because I ask too many questions.
Our first dance is this Friday night, and I am going through the struggle of not knowing what to wear to it, as do all of the other teenage girls that attend these things. I always look like crap, compared to everyone else. I don't belong to a certain group of people that go out and dance, because when I try to dance with friends, I always feel like I am unwelcome around the popular people because I am one of those crazy dorks who doesn't have the coolest clothes or status making me a person to avoid because they could get my germ of low popularity.
Another anti bullying day is in the makings, but this time, I was the inspiration. Notes crossed the line, and there were these three girls who were bully victims themselves that talked with our principal and said that enough was enough, and we needed to have a day to show people just how damaging the effects of bullying were to the victim even if they didn't show them right away. I told them that it wasn't necessary because I was fine, and that things were okay because no one else was being hurt, and that is my outlook on bullying. Yes, it is wrong, but it is okay because I can take it, and no one else is getting hurt. Better me than someone who can't take it.
Oh, and another side note, last time I checked, we were in middle school, and most of us are teenagers who can make wise choices. We should be able to think about our actions better, and know that other people know what they are doing, and they know they made a mistake, and they will fix it. They don't need you telling them what to do all the time because that really gets on their nerves because that is just the way that the human's brain works. It thinks for itself, but when someone says something the brain could go haywire meaning it feels like it made a mistake when it made a small ice which isn't a huge deal like everyone who tells you what to do makes it seem.

Notes crossed the line, and there were these three girls who were bully victims themselves that talked with our principal and said that enough was enough, and we needed to have a day to show people just how damaging the effects of bullying were to the victim even if they didn't show them right away. I told them that it wasn't necessary because I was fine, and that things were okay because no one else was being hurt, and that is my outlook on bullying. Yes, it is wrong, but it is okay because I can take it, and no one else is getting hurt. Better me than someone who can't take it.
Oh, and another side note, last time I checked, we were in middle school, and most of us are teenagers who can make wise choices. We should be able to think about our actions better, and know that other people know what they are doing, and they know they made a mistake, and they will fix it. They don't need you telling them what to do all the time because that really gets on their nerves because that is just the way that the human's brain works. It thinks for itself, but when someone says something the brain could go haywire meaning it feels like it made a mistake when it made a small ice which isn't a huge deal like everyone who tells you what to do makes it seem.

Be Strong
Hey, blogettes! If there has been anything that I have learned this week that has stayed with me throughout the week is being strong goes a long ways. It shows people that you are a person that would be worth a try. Sometimes though, being strong is hard with all the judgmental things going on at school that have been aimed at me, I sometimes feel like I don't belong at my own school that I have gone to since PreK. I feel like I don't belong because even my best friends are beginning to shy away from me now, and these notes keep popping up. Although people have gone out of their way to talk to me, I know it is because they went to my church where we were challenged to do that. We were challenged to go out of our way to tell someone that we normally wouldn't find ourselves with something, and brighten their day.
I think that this should be an everyday thing though, and that we should be doing it because we want to do it, not because we were challenged to do it, and we do it to complete the challenge so that we don't have to look like fools when we go back to church. I want to do something to show people that we are all on the same level really, and that we all do matter, and belong where we are and being who we are. I want to start something at lunch where I get a group together and we do a lot of fun things besides eat lunch. I want to show people that we can get along without changing who we are. I want to show people what high school is going to be like but earlier, and I want to make middle school less dramatic.
Being a teenager is bad enough, but middle school is also the time where you really are planning out your future, and finding out who you really are, which is tough enough. I want to make it so that no matter how you turn out, people will accept you either way. I want to show them that we here at Lisbon are yes, a tight chain with each other, that helps each other out, and watches out, but we are also very welcoming and flexible allowing new people to join. At our school right now, new people are treated like royalty, but the funniest thing was, I was never treated that way. I spent recess alone, and was alone because no one wanted to sit at a table with me. I guess that was the first time that it was going to be a rough ride.
Know what, though, I am going to be strong, and I am going to get through it. I have got to keep my guard up at school, and then let it loose here at home. I can't have mental breakdowns at school because then people will know that it's getting to me and they are winning. I want to show them that no, they aren't going to win the fight with me anymore, and that they should give up while they are ahead.They also shouldn't do it to other people because those people will have God and I on their side, and with us, nothing bad is going to happen. We are going to take a stand, because we have had enough, and something has got to change, before someone gives up, and either moves away or commits suicide because they feel like no matter how hard they try they will never be good enough to get into a group.
Now, I don't know about you but I would much rather be in a group with people who are kind of on the lower part of the food chain of the social statuses at school because they were being themselves, than at the top of the food chain in a group full of fakers or wannabes who bring everybody down that they think are below them because they will never be good enough no matter how hard they try to get up there with them to get out of the mess. Fakers are just a mess, and they are really going no where in their lives, and their futures won't be that good because they didn't start in middle school like those people who were staying true to themselves were. I know peer pressure makes mostly everyone do things, but honestly, get over peer pressure, it doesn't matter. You do what you want to do and don't give second thoughts. Live your life without regrets. You are you, and you do what you want to do, and you lead your life the way you want to lead it.
Bullying and judging others isn't cool because we are all different, and we should accept that we will never be the same. Really, we are all on the same level, and we all matter. We all belong where we are and leading our lives the way that we are leading them to get to our goals. We are trying to make our futures bright, and being in middle school and a teenager is hard enough especially when you are a girl like we all are, or so I hope we all are. Don't take life away from someone because they couldn't handle the extra drama that seemed to be pointed at them enough to take their own life. Stop while you are ahead, and go out of your way even if it does mean lowering your status a bit to show people that when we aren't faking things just to look cool and get to the top, we are all the same.
My school is going to have another blue out against bullying day and bullying seminar again soon, and I hope that this time things change and stay changed, instead of going back to normal a couple of days after the seminar. Remember this, being strong about everything, and just praying to God to help you through the day like I do will help you through everything, and the day until you get to a place where you can let it all out because I know being strong when something like this happens is hard to do. I have gone through it for four years myself.
I'm taking a stand because I am going to no longer be a victim of bullying. I am going to be that person that is going to help victims see the good in themselves, and see that they do matter in this world, and that we do need them because they are very special. I want to see them see that their future is bright, and it really does get better. I want to bring people together, and make our school stronger, and more like a family earlier than high school because the time that we need to be tight is now, and now is like right now that a change needs to start occurring. It is time that people take a stand and say something about how treating people like they aren't worth it isn't right because we are all people and we are all on the same level.
I just want to say that you are not alone, and that we are going to win this fight, and cross that finish line with a smile on our faces, because we stood up, and we fought because we had enough and were ready just to be ourselves again and do the same with the other people. This world has a bright future ahead of it but the movement begins now, and it begins with you. Go out of your way because you want to with your friends and start a group and invite others to join it constantly. I mean you need to show them that anybody can be in the group. It doesn't matter what your social status is, it's just that everyone needs to know that they have a person there for them. Everyone needs to be able to have good fun memories of their time in middle school because it is short. Everyone needs to be able to say that they have a group at lunch that does all kinds of things and is a place for anyone and everyone because everyone in the group has had their eyes opened to the way of living in this world and wanted to change that.
I want the group to seem like a family outside of your family, your school family, where we are all so close, that we can go to anyone in that group during a time of need, and know that we are going to get the things that we need in order to cheer up and move on because those people get us, because they really know and accept us. I want the group to make middle school seem easier, and make people think like wow, this is a breeze because there is no drama because we are all so tight with each other. I want to make sure that there is something done about those people who feel like they will never be good enough for anyone because they are good enough. They will have bright futures once they get out of this dark tunnel. I am beginning to see the light myself, and I am sprinting towards it. I want to help others out ASAP because I know that my story can make deep changes in the way that some people see their lives or futures because I went through bullying myself and I know because I have been planning for my bright future that things are going to go right for me, and I want to make others feel like they matter, and should keep moving and living for their future, because everyone has those dreams of homecomings, proms, and graduations, weddings and families.
Being strong, and reaching out and helping those in need of help will go a long ways, here and it just might save a life of a bullying victim who is to the point where they feel like no matter how hard they try they will never matter enough to be noticed by mankind who is really cruel. Keep pushing forward, and keep that chin up buttercup because things are about to get better because I am going to start the movement tomorrow, even though it should be already started by those reading this post right now.
