BRISTLERANT: #1 - Appearance

[Bristleclaw]

This has basically nothing to do with warriors, or BotW, but here goes.

I am sick and tired of people judging random people in the mall by how they dress. I wear a uniform at my school, yeah it's a private school, but no, I'm not rich. I live far away from the city, and don't have time to go home and change before I go to the mall or whatever. You know what? People point at me and laugh, or talk to their friends when they think I can't hear or think I'm not looking. Well, I am looking. And I can hear.

One girl today at the mall kind of looked at me and giggled, then stood beside me, turned to her friend, and said something like, 'Oooh, she looks sooo pretty!' in a mocking voice. I cried, and on the way home, I thought of things I would have said to her. Don't you HATE it when you think of something to say AFTER the whole event? I do. I wish I had some kind of time machine. It was horrible, I shot her a hate-filled glare after, but she wasn't looking. My mother, who was with me at the mall, didn't even notice anyone had said anything. You know, my headmaster doesn't even care that we're made fun of? If he had his way, we'd be wearing our uniforms ALL the TIME, even out of school.

But he's just an idiot.

You wanna hear what I would have said to her? I would have said, "HEY. You know what? If you have something to say about me, or the clothes I wear - which I have to for school, I'd rather NOT wear them to the MALL - say it to my FACE. You know, I don't really like your clothes? So yeah. I heard you giggle. You wanna say something to me now?" Because I actually hated the outfit she had on, it was hideous.

So my first rant is over.

You know what Bristle? I agree with you completely. People, if they have any self esteem at all, should learn to say something to their faces, or mind their own business. If they can't say it to your face, they will not go far in life because they're so stuck up in their own world, with their heads up their asses. See, Bris, even if you can't think up something witty, retort at least something. Even if you just have to reprimand them, without saying anything, I can guarantee it'll make 'em feel bad, or at least be embarrassed. Especially if you make a big scene about it. c:

Just learn to do what you do with pride, pick up your self esteem, and next time somebody pulls that stunt laugh in their faces. S'what I learned to do. x3 It makes me laugh when somebody makes fun of me, now nobody does it anymore, and i've seen my fair share of bitches in my day, enough to make me cry, and i'm naturally a strong-natured person. It takes a lot to make me cry.

In fact, a story that comes to my mind was in Middle School [this was several years back. -oldfart- and I had to work with some girl I really didn't like. But, naturally, I sucked it up and went over to get started on the science lab. A friend of hers, another butt-faced stuck up that thought she ran the school, came over and they elected her as their team-member, casting me out and without a group. We had to take turns doing the lab, and it was finally my turn and they packed up all the materials and just turned around and left with a laugh. I'll never forget that day, and to this day I will hold a grudge against them all.

The moral is, now that i'm done, I learned to pick my head up, learned who my friends are and learned to ignore the rest. Nowadays, I have too much pride and i'm really quite the ass if you pick on me, and because of that people have learned to respect me.

People make fun of me because I wear a military uniform for my class, but I suck it up and walk right by. I know you've probably heard this plenty of times, and I doubt it'll stop at me, but really learn to ignore them. I swear it really does work. ;3

Because you were wearing your school uniform?!

As you probably all know, in England school uniform is pretty much compulsory at every school you go to. My school is no exception, no matter how much we despise it.

Image One
If you're lucky, one might turn up on the images. They're on a slow loop.

Our uniform consists of a blue and gold tie, blue and white "blouse" which must be tucked in at all times, black trousers(pantslol), and a navy blue blazer with the school logo on. Before this year you got away with being a bit scruffy, but this year everything is insanely strict. I look like a moron when I wear it - it makes me look fat and nerdy. Of course maybe because England is the country of uniforms it makes less of a differences if we're seen wearing it around. But for example if you wear it to the supermarket, you will get weird looks.

I'm basically just saying I think that's fudging moronic, considering I've worn uniform all my life and so it seems odd that people would laugh at you for it. Ignore them if they have nothing better to do. Walk away with pride knowing you are way better than they ever will be. Despite uniform being uncomfortable and ghey, it actually saves a lot of time and effort in the mornings - there's no worrying about what you should wear, and there is much less bullying in school because everyone is wearing the same, therefore it doesn't matter. Course, there is still bullying, but to a lesser extent.

To quote my sister - "No, no, this is worse - we get judged by our PERSONALITY." 'Cause she goes to my private school, if yeh didn't guess that xDD I know, isn't it stupid how, even in England where uniforms are worn in more schools than Canada, you get weird looks. I wonder about Japan...-ponders- 'Cause they where uniforms in like, almost every school in the country there, I think. Do correct me if I'm wrong.
