Society..

So last night I got to spend some time was a pretty good friend young friend of mine. She's only going into 7th grade and I swear she is the sweetest girl. She is still able to find good in everyone, and she just has a beautiful outlook on life. It hit me last night when she left, that she hasn't been hit with society's dreads yet. She hasn't been completely dumped into the world where you have to be a size two to be beautiful. Don't get me wrong, I remember being in elementary school and feeling bad because I wasn't as tiny as all my friend so I know she's been exposed to the world of bullies simply because that's how school is. But I am just saying she hasn't been totally corrupted with what society says is 'normal'. My heart just aches for her to never let society get the best of her. Because she is a beautiful soul. And I've seen too many people my own age get demoralized because of society. And I look at this younger generation and I yearn for things to change for them. But I think it really starts with us. Me and my peers. Because we are the ones that can start to change things. To be different. To prove that you don't have to be a certain size, listen to a certain kind of music, or drink and do drugs. We are the ones that can lead the revolution to beat society's view on perfect. We can be the ones who are accepting of everyone. We don't have to sit by and watch this younger generation fall into the current footsteps of us and be conpletely trashed by the way things in this world are going.. Sorry for the rant...
