[a short rant.] http://deedeebolden.com/blog/2008/10/03/vent-and-let-it-all-out/ http://deedeebolden.com/blog/2008/10/03/vent-and-let-it-all-out/#comments Fri, 03 Oct 2008 06:24:24 +0000 DeeDee http://deedeebolden.com/blog/?p=133 Sometimes I feel so judged and misunderstood.

Did I really express an opinion in such a way that warranted a snarky response?

I can’t be a part of an activity, and not be subjected to the ever-so-judgmental, “Why would you want to do that?!? That’s boring!” from certain individuals?

World, I am so very, very sorry that it has taken me so many of my 27 years to realize that I don’t care anymore what you think about me.  Despite the crap that I’ve tried so hard to avoid by being “the quiet one”, I have something to say, and it’s going to be said.  Why is that so offensive to you?

I cannot please you, world.  Nor do I want to.

(And how she’s a bad example, and blah, blah, blah…)

First of all, is there not anything more important to report on?

Second, why is such a huge earth shattering ruckus being raised about her when there are 750,000+ teenage pregnancies every year in the US?

Why not get upset that this is not an uncommon occurrence? She’s just another one of many teen girls who’s having a baby too young.
