BackStabbingChitChat
You are who you are. You are what you are. But there are people out there who regard you as a freak, an idiot, as someone who is not like everyone else in the world. Strangers, people you dont know think this all the time whenever they see someone who dresses funny, who has a different hair color or who carries an item with them that does not belong; anything physical that they can see and point out. Maybe because of the kind of species you are.
You can not help but think that people are talking behind your back; mocking you, telling false or twisted stories about you, pointing you out like a clown on the street. You are the center of negative attention and they expect you to just stand there and listen. They think that you dont have feelings and you dont care. And if you do have feelings, they will continue to make you feel bad and destroy yourself from the inside out.
Everyone is different in everyway. Everyone is unique and special. Everyone judges another from a small degree to a large one. They mock you about something that they dont understand, or refuse to understand about it. They talk behind your back to their other friends so that they too can spread the rumors about like the flu until everyone is against you. You then feel alone and hurt by the pointing and laughing of those around you. if you try to speak out against them, you get into a fight or they will ignore you and continue to mock you. This just doesn't happen in Elementary school or High School. This happens throughout your life until the day you are in your death bed.
When one gets hurt by these lies, these fault stories, they try to change themselves. They try to dress in the way their bullies dress or act in the same way. But in many ways, that would make things worse. They will call you a "wanna be" and gives them another reason why they should continue to mock you.
Society now is all based on looks, on physical appearance. You must dress in a certain way, you must act in a certain way and you much think in a certain way. If you dont do or act like everyone else, you get crapped on.
Coming from an art student, you can dress or fit your hair any way you feel like it. Your own choice of clothing, hair color, smell and accessories defines you, it makes you who you are. It makes you unique. It makes you special. You have your own voice. You wish to be that spot of color in a black and white world. Just because others think that the way you act, the way you dress or who you are is wrong, idiotic and profound, is no reason why you should change yourself to fit their needs. If you continue to wear what you want to wear, act in a way you want to act and talk in a way you want to talk, then someone will notice you and you will see that you are not alone and that someone else has similar interest like you.
Be yourself.

heh, to be honest the descripition pretty much relates to me, atm I am getting people talking to me behind my back just because of my 'condition' and because of my looks and intrests, they say to me that when I am in college, I am expected to have jokes thrown at me and to just go by it, but then again, cause of my 'condition' I fail to understand certain things (such as jokes etc.) and then it gets me agitated and annoyed.
People then start to talk behind my back saying I am humourless and such and take stabs and jokes at my personality.
so yeah like I said, I can relate to this alot.

I have been both the mocked and the mocker. There are times when I look back on what I have said and done to other people and I hate myself becasue I am no better than teh ones who made fun of and ostracized me for being different. No one deserves to be treated like that. Yet we keep doing it. Is it human nature to make ourselves feel better by mocking others? Can we ever hope to stop?
Like the time three years ago you told me I was definitely not a furry =p
naw, 's all good :3 if anything, that was what convinced me and helped me find out who I know I am today! For that, I owe you my thanks!
WOW though, turk! I didn't know you knew about this guy! He is probably one of my longest-standing favorite artists ^^ Then again, can I blame you for finding and looking at extremely good art? ... NOPE!

I swear, yours must be, by far, the most expressive, moving, emotionally rich, and powerful art I have ever had the pleasure and good fortune to lay eyes on. ... i've never seen so many pieces that have struck me so deeply, so personally.
x.x maybe I should just go through your gallery and fav EVERYTHING in sight...

I understand that feeling completely.
For most of my grade and middle school years I was the center of peer abuse. I tried to dress and act like them, and it only turned my few friends against me.
I was just lucky enough to meet all new friends one year and start over. I tend to ignore the teasing now, or I have a quicker tounge and can come up with something good to say back. :P

Dude, youre amazing, you see the world in about the same way I do, but yet you know how to put what I see every day into words.
And I know this goes on I was picked on all though school cause I wasnt popular, I was diffrent. and this was before people started finding out I liked guys >_<
Then after high school I get accused of all sorts of crazy shit based on the dumbest things. Ive been approached by religious nuts on the streets trying to get me to change my satanic ways DESPITE IM NOT SATANIC I DONT EVEN BELIEVE IN SATAN O_O, I get called a Goth or an Emo based on how I dresed, people think I sit around cut myself and write drepressing poetry and cry about my life cause of how I look, fuck them, I dont cry or write depressing stories, despite I am rather upset with alot of things and even in ways actually depressed I dont make it out like I need attention for it... Its all stereotypes and it pisses me off.
I remember talking to a friend of mine he showed me a news article in california they are finding Transgender children, boys who feel like girls and thus dress and look like girls as a result, and they are trying to preach acceptace of this to get it in schools to enforce it as normal, and Of course into full action is the ingorant trying to turn it down... the world makes me so sad for things like this. If a boy wants to wear a dress let him, if a girl wants wear black clothes and fishnets let her, dont call them a freak or a fag or a devil worshiper, get to know them find out who they are as people the appreance and the person arent always one in the same

I know, and remember, how the one with the bunny feels...all too well. If the other three were to wise up and befriend her and figure out what makes her tick--well, besides that being a miracle--they'd probably find the truest friend they've ever known. It's a shame some people are so short-sighted and end up hurting others, and ultimately themselves as well.
Very good message, and from one open minded person to another. It's very well worded with a great illustration to go with it.
I was once a violent outcast. I was fortunate enough to be given the chance to get away and start fresh though when I was younger. Been breakin social barriers ever since. :)

Doesn't always continue after high school. For some like me, it quits right there. 'Course, you still are left with the broken pieces of your soul, to try and make them fit again. People don't seem to notice the scars, the deep wounds that never seem to heal...
It's taken me a lot of time and effort to get where I am now. And I'm still not quite through getting over it. Don't know if I ever will. But I do know it's worth it. I'm much better than I was before, and learning how to treat the past has given me a boost I sorely needed.
I pray that you will find the strength to get through whatever you're going through. And although you don't know me that well, I'd be willing to listen if you ever need someone to talk to.
Keep up the good work. Your art is some of the best I've seen. I'd hate to see it up and vanish.

I've been teased since 3rd grade. In middle school I tried to fit in, which was a mistake. Now I'm a junior in high school, and I've never been better. I dress in outfits that don't match, I draw designs on my face with eyeliner, and carry a small plushie with me.
Trying to fit in only made my life worse. Now I be who I am. I'm still laughed at and it hurts me sometimes. I accept that now however. I love who I am and I never want to change. This is a very lovely piece. Your drawings are beatuiful.

wow.
I had the misfortune of being in a 80% minority (not sayin which ones, so that means I cant get flamed for beein 'racist' XD)
Needless to say, that automatically put me up as an outcast. Its much worse when most of the 80% carry the gangster/rapper lifestyle around with them. With the need to play off of the fat kid o.O
That was K-10, then I moved. Its given me character, as well as thick skin. (helps when I have become a 6', 260lb MONSTER >:3 )
The main way to defend yourself...is in your mind. You are only as tolerant or weak against their ignorance as you let yourself be.

I don't claim to be an artist (by any stretch, unless you count pottery) but I know a great piece when I see it. Well done.

I was always myself, it got me picked on, got me sitting all alone in the corner during recess but now i take solace in one fact, they never showed up because they where scared, I was probably six feet tall since my freshman high school year, maybe earlier, They never wanted to beat me up, and even when they tried i hardly flinched but the emotions still dragged me down, they couldn't face me because i was big but they still hated me, thought i was a dork, screwed with me, threw my bag in the trash, stole my pencils, threw my books, everything, but I always had my strength, my unshakable mind that always bounced back the next day and my body that finally put me on top when i got in my first fight and when i dented the roof of the bus and roared I wasn't gonna lay down and take 'em anymore.
