"Isn’t it funny you can go to the shops with your friends and look down on the girl with black jeans and studs, but smile at the girl wearing a mini skirt and a T-shirt that barely covers anything? Isn’t it funny you don’t mind your friends drinking but the minute someone mentions emo music you can give them a lecture of melodramatic teenage outcast? Isn’t it funny you and your friends can make a girl's life hell and not know anything about the silent battle she might be fighting?
How can you all a girl a ‘poser’. How can you say, “your no emo!” or “attention seeker” without spending a second trying to figure out why there are cuts on her wrists and why she spends her lunchtimes crying instead of laughing with her friends. Isn’t it funny you can say and do all this without any idea of what is going on in this person’s life? Without knowing her situation with her friends, her family or even her life? Brave isn’t going up on stage and stripping. Brave isn’t saying a speech or dumping your boyfriend. Brave is going to school on mufti day and not for a second care about what everyone says about your clothes around you.
It’s listening to your own music and being proud of it. It’s going through everyday with the things people say to your face and behind your back and still keep quite. It's knowing what your ‘friends’ are saying about you. And still calling them your friends. Brave is knowing that tomorrow isn’t going to be a bright and happy future. It’s just another day of dodgy rumours. So keep on laughing.."
