Complicated

A Message to Women From a Man: You Are Not “Crazy”

It is true that boys, especially our age, use this line on girls all the time: You're crazy, just relax, you're imagining things!

It has become a part of every woman's life.

Ok honestly I don't even know what to write about this. I'm under so much stress to finish my theatre research investigation for tomorrow, I have finals coming up, and everything is just going wrong with my university stuff. If guys' language towards me was the biggest problem I had to worry about, I would probably end up selling headbands in the street (no offense to those who do). We're all supposed to choose our future right here and right now and I frankly have no idea what I want to be. I may have chosen Psychology as a subject I want to apply to, but nothing seems to help me towards this direction. I don't get the grades for it, I don't even know how to deal with my own problems. I'm seventeen years old, and if I'm lucky I could have sixty or seventy or eighty more years to live, but still I'm supposed to know what I'm going to do with my life NOW. The pressure we're put under every freaking day from all the advisors and counsellors and teachers to do this right, and hand this in, and not to forget this and this, is not helping me in any way. Take CAS for example. WHAT is it for? Why can't we just be part of service clubs and do sports without someone forcing us to fill out a form about it and write a reflection about it every second week? There is absolutely NO point in writing in a bad written paragraph about which learning outcomes I've achieved. The IB is supposed to help us towards a hopefully bright future, but instead it complicates every single thing we try to do right. Things that were decided I'd do for a subject last year, are now being refused. A course that I really wanted to take as a higher level... I WASN'T ALLOWED TO TAKE. Why? because I speak the language too well. Instead, I have to take courses that will give me bad scores on the IB, which then won't get me into Uni... and I won't even go on with that thought because I'm getting ridiculous. In conclusion, if you can even say that because I believe there is absolutely no structure to this rant, education has failed me. I used to be very eager about school, and I was considered to be TOP of the class. HA! Then I had to move around and all the adaptation hindered me from sticking to one thing. The only thing I got from that were languages and even that I'm not allowed to do. 

So yes, boys, or some boys anyways, have a very condescending way of talking to girls. I have come across many of those but it taught me how to be stronger. Life isn't easy and there are many mannnyyy obstacles we all have to overcome, and a guy referring to a girl as crazy to shut her up, is an obstacle you go around instead of overcoming it.
