We live in a world where girls get lectured on what to wear, but boys don't get lectured not to stare.
A world where we preach individuality and expressing yourself, but if you don't fit into a certain standard society shuns you.
A world where we're expected to be mature and act like adults, but are treated like kids who can't think for themselves.
We live in a world where people are bullied, pushed to suicide, shunned, mistreated, abused, and beaten down to the point of breaking.
But let me correct myself: we don't live in this world, we survive in it.
It can't be called living if we're dead inside.
The world is messed up beyond belief. Who's going to help fix it?
