So I'm kinda into poetry at the moment and this is my latest creation... Thanks for taking the time to read! Stay Excellent - thegirlwiththekey

Okay so I wrote this poem a while back and found it today. Now I don't want to have another rant about the education system; you can read my previous one  here .  But I think a point needs to be made about how there has been a drastic rise in teens with mental disorders and something needs to be done about it!  Don't adults understand that before we turn 19years old the average UK child sits over a whopping 40 or so exams! And we are given the false pretence that if we don't pass we wont do well in life - of course that's going to affect us... and it is not true! I've recently read that students today have the same anxiety levels as people living in insane asylums in the 1950's, not good for our future is it?! I do think some institutions are realising that our health is important and are doing things about it, Cheltenham ladies college for example and more should do the same. Stress among other things is definitely not something that p...

Its okay! You are not alone, almost everyone is bullied, and you'd be surprised to know that a lot of bullies have been bullied themselves in the past. Because of this they may not even realise that they are bullying you. The most important thing is to hold your head up high , if you have done nothing wrong and they have made something out of nothing, that is not your fault, they are trying to get a reaction from you - don't give them the satisfaction! Don't retaliate but don't suffer in silence , tell someone you can trust, whether it be a best friend, a family member, or a teacher (although I understand if you don't want to tell a teacher; they always have the worst methods of dealing with bullies *just an opinion*) People are usually picked on because bullies are jealous, not always but on occasion, bullies have a stereotypical trait of wanting to make people feel small and worthless. Y ou are not worthless . No one is worthless and should never be made...

Just a little update from my wildly exciting (:/) life, full of revision at the moment;  I dyed some of my hair purple, you know YOLO! and I use that term loosely because I've never been one to use the newly conventional slang like 'banta' and its polygamous spellings. But yeah so now the bottom end of my hair is purple - it used to be the generic ombre that was done very well by my hairdresser but its just so eugh you know, after a while, I wanted something unnatural, unconventional and any other un-word you can think of (that fits into this sentence).  So I went into Sainsburys and bought this; And went from this, (which we can all agree is very normal and blandly exciting :P) To this, which as one of my friends pointed looks very mermaid like in this picture; And honestly it makes me so happy - I can say I have purples in ma hair!! Just one of those things that make you happy because although you planned to do this at some point in the...

Okay, so I did it, I wrote a blog post each day for 30 days! And although I missed a day or I forgot one, I made up for it so really no one needs to know! Ssh... And even though for the majority of the quotes I didn't have much to say because the quotes spoke for themselves, as does the following, I've thoroughly enjoyed writing them! :) Stay Excellent - thegirlwiththekey
