smart alex Today at school, in choir, a girl noticed the small 50 cent piece sized heart I had ingraved into my ankel. She was a black girl ( not to be racsist) and looked at me in a quizical way "What the hell is that, did you cut yourself"
I raised an eyebrow at her, trying to think of what to say. I didnt want to admit to cutting because I could already feel what she was going to say. Something among the lines of "crazy ass white girl" NOw, again, not to be racist, if the girl was white I would ahve admitted to it...saying "haha, yeah, I wanted to make a little scar tatoo..." and leave it at that. BUt, to my observations, it seems that more white people have mental illnesses and self mutilate than black people do. I felt that the girl wouldn't understand, or be willing to understand because of her race. I didn't want to be labled the "crazy white girl" or have them say, sighing, "Just another white person..." or something. I have never meet, or even heard of a person of color who cuts. Now, please, if anyone on this community is black, PLEASE correct me...Again, I will repeat, I am NOT racist is any way, shape or form. I love people of alllll colors. Its just that I cant help making observations like that. I see that black poeple are MUCH more confident than white people are. They tend to have better self esteams and tend to put thewmselves down less, so therfore they tend to be happier or less likely to be depressed. NOw that is a BIG generalazation..understand that. BUt I believe it is the truth. White people, generally, seem to be less confident about themselves.
When the girl asked me that question...I don't know. It made me feel stupid. It made me doubt why I did it. If I had told her "i like pain" she would have thought I was crazy. Now, usually, I dont give a crap about what people think of me..but it was the WAY this girl looked at me. It felt as if the whole white race was at stake, and I had to save it. I don't know. I'm just thinking and venting rtight now. Just poundering.
I felt like a coward...
I felt like...
okay.
example:
a catholic person denieing their religion so they wont get teased.
thats how i feel.
I kow what I do isn;t a religion
but its a part of me
yeah.
I'm going to say this again, because i am very afraid of being accused of being a racist. I am NOT racist. OKAY? I am just making generalized observations. Thats it. Okay? good.
thanks for reading
