Saying "What's wrong with ____?" shouldn't be okay.

For context, I heard "what's wrong with her?" or "what's wrong with [my name]?" a lot when I was a kid. I did cry a lot and didn't really fit in. I was called a crybaby. One time my leg really hurt when we were running in gym class so I sat down, covered my head, and started to cry. When everyone returned, so, so many people made fun of the fact that I couldn't finish running. Anyways, back to the subject of this post.

​

I remember, one time, at rehearsals for a play I was in, I didn't know my blocking (where I'm supposed to go in a scene) because I couldn't hear it over the other kids constantly talking. I was so stressed out already (in burnout) and I couldn't hear a word. So, I walked a bit away to put my head down. A few minutes later, a bunch of kids walked by and I heard more than one "What's wrong with her?"

​

I agree that there's something wrong with me, but that's my own self-esteem issues. Don't help to make that worse, please.

​

And it's just socially acceptable to say that? Like you're literally saying aloud that there's something wrong with someone. If you said that directly, people would get mad, but not if you rephrase it? How does that make sense???

​

Sorry if this was a stupid post, but it just annoys me.

Being a Vegetarian

So I'm not sure if this'll count as a rant, but I'm going to post it anyways.

To preface this, I'm a vegetarian. I've been a vegetarian since I was 4. My parents have told me that I wanted to be a vegetarian at 3 but they only let me when I was 4. I don't remember the taste of meat. I have no reason to eat meat. But some people...are so annoying about it.

When I was around 5th grade, my cousin tried to convince me to eat meat again. I said no, of course. But the important part was WHEN he asked. It was while we were eating dinner. WHILE WE WERE EATING DINNER. So, that was something.

In 6th grade, my ELA teacher was showing our class an example essay. It happened to be about vegetarianism. She asked if anyone had suggestions for editing it to make it better, but several students in my class instead yelled out about "having counterclaims" and stuff like that. I, being annoyed but also still polite, raised my hand to correct something my teacher said about vegetarianism while explaining I was a vegetarian myself. I definitely shut those students up, which was semi-satisfying.

I know I haven't seemed the angriest during this, but I do feel angry about this topic. But if I get mad at someone about it, I'LL be the one in trouble.

My point is for anyone judging vegans and vegetarians. Not all of us are preaching our diet. You probably know vegans and vegetarians who are too scared to tell you.

So, please, STOP PUSHING YOUR OWN DIET ON US. You can't fight fire with fire.
