Tell us about your style..:
Tell us a joke.:
Why do you think you should be in this community?: Well, I've wanted to join a community like this, and its different from most other rating-type communities. I think I should be in in because I am absolutely into the fashion and music scene, and I just love creating new styles all the time.
Opinions
War: I am against it. I've rallied in peace marches against the Iraq war and I am trying to start an activist group at my school.
Abortion: All for it. I am pro-choice because I believe that though it takes two to make a child, it is solely the woman's right to decide whether or not she gives birth to it. It also depends on situations and family life too.
Homosexuality: Gay all the way! I have a few friends who are gay and I love them to death. I also think gay marriage shoudl be leagalized. Two people in love is what matters, the gender doesn't.
Smoking/drugs/alcohol: Well, I'm not really into smoking or drugs, but I don't think smoking weed every once in a while is a bad thing. My friends smoke but I don't mind it much, I just refuse to do it with them because I think its disgusting. Alcohol...I admit to getting drunk every once in a blue moon, but its not something i make a habit of. If you do it too much its just not fun anymore. I don't really like being out of control of my body or my mind, either.
Suicide: Its a serious issue with teens today. Being suicidal at one point in my life myself, I know how it feels to be that low and that depressed. Its a scary thing, and I hope I never go through it again. If anyone is even thinking about suicide I always try to comfort them and then tell an adult immediately, its no issue to wait with.
Self harm: Used to do it quite a bit. Its a way of coping with things and releasing stress. Some people find it better to realease the pain on themselves, where they can see it, since emotional pain you can't really see. Its sort of a comfort. I haven't cut for a long time, though, so thats a plus. Therapy works.
