Sitting at my computer one day, I had realized that I'm not a prep, not a goth, not a punk, not anything at all, really. And yet I get labeled easily, why is that?

In real life everyone sees me as this quiet little girl, but that's during school. At home I'm as loud as I can be, always making people laugh. I play sports, but I'm not the best. I mean, I'm good and all, but you're not going to see me as M.V.P. I get great grades, but I still need help with stuff. I got lots of friends, but I'm not popular. I like fashion and all, but I'm not obsessed. Gosh, I narrowed down the categories didn't I???

Why am I labeled, then? I thought of all the possibilities, and still nothing came to me. Is it the way I look, the way I act, the way I think? I shouldn't be judged on any of that, and neither should anyone else. But people are still shallow enough to judge you. That's not fair, is it?

In Sector Y, I am immediately labeled a prep. Yet no one there knows the real me. I don't go around labeling people, so why should they label me? Then when another person comes in that is different from them, a war begins. In real life, I have different kinds of friends, not just a certain type.

My moral to this article is, who cares what you look or act like? Just be yourself!

P.S. Maybe I should start my own clich??. I like writing and reading, so I'll label myself a bookworm. Bookworm suits me just fine, and I like it.
