#society killed the teenager

[mischiefisme-amess]

The mood when you’re sick for three weeks and can’t go to school and you teacher tells you she won’t be giving you credits for a course, because you weren’t present, but you already did all the work and felt accomplished for finishing all of it while sick and now you just want to cry.

#school is hell #fuck school #being sick is the worst #i’m tired #society killed the teenager

This statement which has been all over social media sites such as tumblr and twitter pretty much expresses how the way society sees and treats teens can affect the way they look, dress, act, speak, think, and even the way they see things. Its like teenagers are being dictated on how they should look like and act. Teenagers today have been hurt and judged just because they dont fit in.

They sometimes even feel self-conscious and sorry for themselves because they cant live up to societys expectations. Doesnt society know that teenagers are greatly affected by their judgments? Many people look at teens as a stereotype. As Reid states in his article: Even the way we dress can cast immediate stereotypes from the people around us. We get stereotyped from our clothes, hairstyles, social class, the way we act, our ethnicity, even the kind of mobile phone or iPod we have.

It can be difficult to find our personal identity everything we do, say or buy seems to be associated with a certain social group. Sometimes we feel we should fit in with our friends, so we buy the same things and listen to the same music. Reids statement is exactly what is happening today. Teenagers are being judged based on their appearances and actions alone. Media also plays a very big role in a teenagers life especially since they spend most of their time watching television, surfing the internet, and browsing through magazines.

An online article on Buzzle. om entitled Medias Effects on Teenagers states that Fashion magazines are also to blame for their glossy covers showcasing models with so-called nice bodies that teens idolize and work towards, while of course compromising on health. Seeing and knowing such information, the self-confidence of a teenager can really be affected . Society creates this image for teenagers to look up to which, by the way, just ruins them. When teens look at them, they think to themselves why dont I look like her? I wish I had what she has. It is sad to even know that teens are not contented with their imperfections obsessed with their body image . They do this just to be acceptable to the norms of society. ○Despite all the influences and pressure the society is giving to teenagers, they should still have their own set of standards based on her needs and not the wants as dictated by her environment, most specifically the society which could either destroy or improve her as an acceptable individual. So the fate of a teenager really lies on her own decisions. It is the teenagers choice if she gives in to all the pressure and complies with societys definition of beauty or she stays true to who she is and be contented with her own imperfections.

i swear if you people start uwuifying OCD like you did with ADHD and autism I'm going to start attacking

#the general idea of what OCD is already so fucking wrong and harmful #if you start being like 'oh my little meow meow is so OCD' or 'its not a disorder its just a different way of thinking uwu' #I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL #ALL OF MY EARLIEST CHILDHOOD MEMORIES FROM AGE 3 AND UP ARE OF HAVING PANIC ATTACKS #PLEASE GO FUCK YOURSELVES THIS IS A MISERABLE FUCKING DISORDER ITS NOT CUTE ITS NOT QUIRKY ITS THE REASON I HAD GRAY HAIR AS A TEENAGER #i saw this like 'i let the intrusive thoughts win' isn't something people use all the time for like dying their fucking hair #its exhausting how many people what to be all 'mental illness needs to be more accepted' #and then in the next sentence want to deny that your mental illness is actually harmful to you and doesn't negatively affect you #and its just because society doesn't accept your different way of thinking uwu #NO I LITERALLY WOULD HAVE KILLED MYSELF AS A TEENAGER IF SOMEONE HAD CONVINCED ME THAT MY MENTAL ILLNESS WAS NORMAL AND FINE #figuring out that something was Wrong with my brain was like the best moment of my life #and this 'no you just think differently don't try to change' attitude may be helpful in SOME CASES #but that shit needs to me pulled back on A LOT online because that framing can be extremely harmful to some people (like me) #knowing exactly what is wrong with my brain is literally the only way I'm able to not let it affect me #and it not affecting me is literally the only way I can function and live happily #like you understand that some people do genuinely have things wrong with them #and telling them they don't is beyond cruel

i don't believe in the fandom concept of problematic faves (all characters should have at least one Problem, i think, for flavor) but if i did, fiona pitch would have a permanent throne at the very top of my list. i just think she's neato-cheetos.

#on a scale from one to belittling a teenager who was just subjected to weeks of solitary confinement starvation torture #i think that fiona is a 10.5 and should consider prozac #rainbow has a way with multifaceted characters who do things because it's the only thing they know how to do #good things for bad reasons and bad things for good reasons and selfless things for spiteful reasons and vise versa etc #everyone is at least a bit of an asshole about something. even goodboy milk chap boyscout simon killed a bunch of vampires on sight #they were probably up to something shady but the likelihood that they were gonna kill those girls in broad daylight at a crowded renfaire? #probably pretty low. too late to un-kill 'em though. like. those were People. vampires are People. goblins too. #imagine you're a goblin looking to make some serious changes in your society and the only thing you have to do to achieve those goals? #is kill a fifth grader that already hates you and your entire species on principle and would definitely kill you first given the chance #some of those goblins were probably pretty power hungry assholes but i imagine if they have a monarchy they also have tax laws and shit #i couldn't kill a fascist cub-scout for free healthcare but i'm also very anti-murder in general and goblins seem quite pro #i am definitely thinking way too far into this but that's also my One SkillTM #the incredibly similar way that simon and fiona view 'dark' magickal creatures (and what it means about the entire WoM) is an essay itself #its also a LONG essay and i'm too much of a weenie to post in-depth fandom opinions more controversial than 'big teeth Hot' #so the gist of it is 'I JUST THINK THEY'RE ALL NEAT I LIKED THE BOOK A LOT' #del/lat

can’t believe misandrist truthers on this webbed site have the audacity to claim that lesbians and sapphics in general have any sort of privilege over gay men in media when time and time again our shows and movies and rep get cancelled one after another

#first kill #i am not okay with this #netflix #everything sucks #teenage bounty hunters #one day at a time #sense8 #the society #atypical #batwoman #heartstopper #and while i love heartstopper there’s an obvious disparity between it and first kill #one features two white cis mlms while the other features an interracial lesbian couple #like. tell me there’s not a pattern there #i know it’s not a competition but like fuck. you don’t have to lie and pretend that lesbians have privilege over gay men #if you genuinely believe that go isolate yourself from the rest of humanity until your brain factory resets #queermisogyny #lesbophobia #text post

the school arc to me is so good because it drags ciel out of his position as a powerful figure and literally places him in the shoes of the person he could have been. the circus arc ALSO drags him out of his position as big bad queens watch dog/head of the phantomhive estate but the school arc feels like a mockery of a future that never was. this is what he could have been had his parents not died. and even then its NOT because he will never be that kid.

he never was.

#ramblings #incoherent beyond belief its 4 am #and im trying to avoid manga spoilers #might add a reblog with more coherent thoughts when i wake up but im off my meds so i cant promise anything #actually correction im being vague w the manga spoilers #manga readers know whats up #idk if there are any anime only ppl who havent been spoiled on The Plottwist Ever yet #but i figured there will be new fans and though im not tagging this it might still get seen so #cant WAIT to see our boy absolutely miserable in animation form should they recreate that arc LMAOOO #which ofc is after the germany arc so thats still a long time away #but STILL. itd be fun i need to see this young teenager lose his mind in color with sound #him relying on sebastian to do all his fag duties (sorry. dredge) so he can work his way up the social ladder #trying to gain power while simultaneously proving that he cant do anything but rely on others #hes always needed help in basically every way and he hasnt CHANGED he just got a demon to do it for him #he learns to lie and charm and cheat and all the while hes a fucking CHILD WHO STILL STRUGGLES WITH NORMAL THINGS #ciel is my little baby and i love him deeply no matter how much of a little bitch he can be #his helplessness isnt just 'oh he was raised in british high society' its also that he never got the chance to learn anything #which to elaborate on that id also have to go into manga territory. iykyk #like absolutely at this point he just refuses to learn how to do things he has a pet demon to do it for him #but. #hi the phantomhives backstory is killing me again its so late #both atlantic and the school arc are just setup for the Big Arc but theyre very good in their own right i SWEAR #also when i rewatched the circus arc a while back and i realised how some scenes were shot #the heavy foreshadowing that i didnt realise. yk. 7 years ago or however long its been since i first watched it #CRAZY #if you are new. to kuroshitsuji. and you havent read the manga. dear god. read the manga #ALSO GRELLE IN THAT ARC IS SO BEAUTIFUL & OTHELLO IS TRANSMASCULINE. OKAY GOODBYE

Streaming services cancelling their sapphic shows, without giving them one more season to conclude their storylines, is the new form of bury your gays

my roman empire: shows of tv past

sometimes at night or even in the middle of the day, i think about all the unanswered and unfinished stories from cancelled tv shows. i petition that once they cancel a show they have to do sit down interviews to tell you what would've happened if the show continued. ones that immediately come into mind (that i've watched because there are literally too many to count):

the society (definitely the one that keeps me up the most)

warrior nun

the wilds

the secret circle

everything sucks

first kill

stumptown

prodigal son

1899

icarly revival

the royals (this needed to end though because of the showrunner)

stitcher

fate: the winx saga

the family (the one that was on abc)

finding carter

star-crossed

teenage bounty hunters

cloak and dagger (sort of...)

What’s the point anymore??? Like. Netflix is just a nightmarishly gigantic archive of one-season wonders. Cancel Netflix y’all.

#cancel netflix #first kill #q force #archive 81 #the get down #soundtrack #october faction #v wars #messiah #patriot act #i am not okay with this #the society #teenage bounty hunters #away #the irregulars #julie and the phantoms #this list isn’t exhaustive it’s just shows i enjoyed! #many but not all of these had PROMINENT queer characters & I’m pissed they were canceled #all of this isn’t even touching on other MAJOR problems like Netflix’ transphobia via that asshat comic who shall not be named!

Most likely someone has said this before but seriously.

It's ridiculous that I feel like I've accomplished nothing after doing something for an entire weekend. I panted two ceilings, cleaned our aquarium and hang up two pairs of drapes, cooked, went outside and finished up an English course from last semester.

And still I feel like I've accomplished absolutely nothing. And I damn well know why. I didn't get much schoolwork done. I didn’t focus on "the one job of a student".

I didn't do schoolwork that has no value in three weeks when summer starts. Schoolwork that wont show in my final grades that I'll use to apply to universities. Because those grades come from single exams, that are completed in six hours each.

My worth is being defined by work that has none.

I DEFINE MY WORTH BY WORK THAT HAS IT'S VALUE DEFINED AS NULL.

Even if I've done all the work I'm assigned, I'm still fucking anxious. I'm still waiting to remember something that I've forgotten or to get more worthless work.

Just... What in the absolute fuck is wrong with this society?

What is the worth of a person when their worth is defined by work that has none.

Anyways. Here was my stupid rant that I wrote in the last five minutes of a physics class. I really just want to sleep for a week.

Mischief out-

#we live in a society #school is hell #self worth #society killed the teenager #satisfaction did not bring it back #it suffocated the life out of it by making it do meaningless work for ages and associate it's worth with said work

Extremely unpopular opinion but the more older i get the less i care about the idea of good drow elves

I want them sexy evil and fun

#in my teenage years i would kill for more good alignment drow societies #and now when wotc giving these... I don't interested at all #also representation of other dark seldarine worshippers >>>>> good drow elves #i said what i said #maybe it's because evil drow have this distinguished hot anaesthetic with spiders and sexy clothes #who knows

gun owners are insane every single one of yall

#a black teenager was shot for knocking on the wrong door #a 20 year old woman was shot for PULLING INTO THE WRONG DRIVEWAY #this is what owning a gun does to a mfer #makes you homicidal #or suicidal #there is no such thing as a responsible gun owner #every single gun owner is a danger to themselves and others #the appropriate number of guns in a society is zero #wanting to own a gun aka fantasizing about killing another human being is a mental illness

surely one of you has read nineteen minutes by jodi picoult... as usual I have THOUGHTS

#the lesson of this book has not aged well #now let me break it down quickly #but major tw if you ever consider reading nineteen minutes its a book with two teenage protagonists but it was written for a mature audience #the book deals with bullying gun violence and abuse and it does depict them quite graphically #so yeah I absolutely would not pick up this book if youre sensitive to that #but anyways the story is about a shooting that happens at a high school and then takes you back to the events that led up to it #as well as the aftermath #and I feel like the idea of Peter's has aged quite poorly #like the book was written in 2007 so the narrative that shooters are the bullied lonely kids who are getting revenge #was very popular in our society but in the year 2023 I think we are (very) slowly realizing that these kids weren’t unpopular nerds #majority of them are incels living in a country that makes it very easy for them to kill people with guns #and the book reallyyyyy misses this mark #like they portray Peter as this kid that was bullied for being sensitive and not a masculine tough guy like the rest of the boys #and its true boys who get bullied generally are bullied for not conforming to masculinity #BUTTT these boys aren’t the ones who go and kill people #its the ones who have deeply entrenched hatred for women and minorities and also happen to be able to use weapons #so yeah if the text was just about a kid who was being bullied and how traumatizing that is then yeah I think it would’ve nailed it #butttt when you try to convince us that this is the profile of a shooter you start to lose #also not nearly enough about gun control was discussed #like the book sends the message that if we’re all nice to each other bad things won’t happen ummmm yeah #but also even if we were all mean to each other we could minimize the amount of casualties by have stricter access to guns #like what people in other countries don’t have mean kids this is a uniquely american problem #anyways these are my grievances
