Teen Blogging…
Posted: under Thinking.
An article in the Washington Post about blogs. Read it really quick, and then come back to read the rest of this entry.
========================================================
Okay, lemme just say that yea, that article is right. On Myspace I have an accout, and I have come across so many spaces with stuff you wouldn’t see on the street. Yes there are teens that expose themselves on their spaces, I used to, I admit it. Yes there are racist assholes on their spaces who bring down blacks and asians and latinas. But then there are some who don’t and hate racism with a passion. Yes, there are many teens, if not all of them, who like to go out a drink and/or smoke a bowl. I do too, though I don’t smoke weed. Yes there are old perverts trying to get a young piece of ass, but I’m pretty sure that there are adults on that site who just want to meet new people too. People gotta get it through their heads that with the good things, also come the bad things.
And I defintely know about teens being very open on thier blogs. I’m one of them. I swear and I talk about things that really happen in my day. Sometimes I talk about someone who pissed me off, or someone who’s made my day. I do swear and cuss out people individually. Who haven’t I cussed out yet? Not many people.
Why do I do it? Why does this blog seem like a totally different version of me compared to sweet innocent Gina? Because, this blog is me. It’s who I am. It’s what happens to me and it’s how I feel about things, and frankly I don’t give a flying fuck whether this makes me look innocent or bad-ass. This is my blog. This is my, and my life and what I think about it. The person in school that you know as Gina Baker: that is me too, but the difference between the person that is me in school and the person tat is me on this blog is the fact that I’m well-behaved in school: I try not to sweat too much in school, I try not to get into any fights, I’m basically a “good lil girl” in school. Unlike school however, I can scream and shout and rant and rave and take out all my frustrations on this blog. I can dream and imagine and cheer myself up on my blog. I can be happy, mad, sad, anything on my blog. And nobody can stop me from doing it casue it’s my blog and me, and if they stop me from being me on my blog, then they stop me from being me in everything else.
I can safely say this is probably the main reason why you all read so many posts in which I bitch someone out (you know one of them very well I’ll assume): because I can’t do it in public, and I vent on this blog. Actually, this blog has almost gotten me into trouble with some “higher” authorities, but that didn’t stop me from expressing myself, whether I was happy or mad. God, just because a certain someone feels threatened ever time they piss me off doesn’t mean I’m purposely harassing them… *deep breath* okay gotta let that go, nothing I can do in the future to change the past.

In every way I’m very glad my mother introduced me to blogging. Sure this is basically a diary, an many of this stuff I should keep in a diary. But this is ME, and I want everyone to know this. I want people learn about me and my life, what I do, how I feel, so they can stop with their stupid rumors (ahem ahem) against me. No, I’m not a psychopathic bitch who is endangering the life of an innocent boy (ahem ahem), but I am a young woman with a temper that I vent when someone, even the innocent boy, sets me off. Who wouldn’t? Unless you’re one of those people who just kick the guy’s ass if he pissed you off… then you don’t count. But I’m talking about the other, more civilized people that have better ways of venting anger.
I’m pretty sure everyone has a diary of some sorts, no matter what gender, race, age, etc, that they keep to themselves.
But sometimes, I like to think that I’m the only one brave enough to throw mine out into the public for the whole entire world to see. And, as I’ve said before, any has a problem with what I can say, they can fucking bite me.
