Opinions are the equal to poison

Opinions.

In today's world, people have a lot of opinion. The internet provides plenty of space to share our thoughts, with things like blogs and youtube videos. often times though, at a young age, when people post these types of things, teenagers are scrutinized and laughed at. A boy may laugh at another boy for posting a video, a video in which the boy worked so hard on and was really proud of. A girl may see someone's facebook status and tell all of her friends how dumb it is. This is a cruel cruel generation we live in today. Teenagers are probably so bottled up because they don't want anyone to think that what they have to say is worthless!
Nothing you have to say is worthless. Everyone should feel comfortable with what they think and who they are. My favorite thing in the world was the facebook like button phenominon that went on at my school. Basically, facebook allows people to create pages for things, people, and events. If you like something you can press the "like" button and that appears on your friend's homepages'. A few people began liking pages, and eventually the whole school was going around and saying, "I thought I was the only one that thought that." like for example one page was, "I go out of my way to step on a crunchy leaf" I thought I was the only one that did that! But, apparently my whole school does it! Everyone seemed so united in thought and opinion! It made me feel good to know that people had, even if it was just a few weeks, they had a glimpse of the feeling when you aren't alone.
Anyway, back to the point, yesterday a very good friend of mine said she reads my blog. At first I was so nervous, did she think it was stupid, was she telling everyone? But, then she said she loved it and that she had one too. I was reminded that underneath our angsty, teenage shells, we are all united. No matter what tounge we speak, as Dumbldore once put it, "our hearts beat as one."
