Goodbyes

Hey Guys. Have you ever said goodbye to something? Something important to you? I had to, I had to say good say goodbye to a good friend of mine. It was 6th grade, it was the middle of the school year. She was moving a couple cities over. We felt like it was going to be the end of the world. We stayed behind about 20 minutes after school closed. Running up and down the halls singing "Don't Stop Believing"By:Journey. We were laughing, crying, and singing. Until her mom came in and said it was time to go. My friend and I gave each other what felt like the last hug we would ever get from one another. We stood there laughing and crying. When we had to part we sang "Don't Stop Believing" well we went our separate ways. The next day I walked into class, set down my stuff like usual. Then I walked over to her desk, also like usual, then I remembered. It made the goodbye even harder having to come to school everyday with her desk right across from me. Staring me down. Reminding me of all the memories we have had. Goodbyes are hard. They will almost always be. Even the ones that will be just until tomorrow. But there are always people out there that have had to say goodbye. Turn to them when you have to say goodbye to someone dear. They will help you get through it. Help others when they have to say goodbye. But always and only say goodbye when it has meaning behind it. When something is there. And something can be held onto. Goodbye. DogTag.

Labels

Hey guys. Don't you hate the labels. Popular. Nerd. Poser. We all do and we all use them. Its crazy that all these people say they hate labels and then they turn right around and use them on each other. I wish the only labels we used were our names. Because we are all unique and we will never meet all the stereotypes in a label. This is because you are you and I am me. The person closest to you is there own person and so is that person 1,000 miles away. So why don't we live up to what we say we hate and not use labels. I challenge you to not label any 1 for a whole day and then for 2 days. Then 3, 4, 5, 6 until you get to a week. Then keep trying to not use labels and challenge others not to. Labels hurt people. Freak. Loser. Loner. They hurt. Trust me. How would you like to be seen as that. It makes you feel like trash. So take up my challenge. Do it. DogTag

Teenagers

Hello Everyone! As you know I'm a teenager. Teenagers are crazy. We are raging with emotions. We come in all shapes and sizes. We are always up and down and you never know when we are going to turn the corner. But you have to also be patient with us and if you are also a teenager we have to be patient with each other(you at some point were the same way). You also have to understand that we teenagers enjoy a very unhealthy dose of gossip. Not just girls, boys too. For some it consumes their life but, for others they want no part in it. I don't like gossip at all because, all it does is lead to rumors and, rumors lead to bullying. Another thing you have to understand is there is a difference between joking and bullying. Fallen Musician and I always joke around about that kind of stuff. Fallen Musician will say oh DogTag you are sooooo stinky. And then I would say well I can take a shower you can't wash off ugly. We know we are just joking but, teachers think we are bullying we got pulled aside once to be talked to about it and, we just sat there smiled and looked pretty. Now the definition of bullying is...
"a blustering, quarrelsome, overbearing person whohabitually badgers and intimidates smaller or weaker people." Dictionary.com http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/bullying?s=t
There is a complete difference that shouldn't be that hard to understand. We are teenagers and we are going to pick on each other in the end it only makes you strong. Relationships also go along with gossip. Teenagers have tons of them. Though there are many different kinds. For example: we are just going out because everyone says we should, I go out with only people in my clique, the cheaters, the lovers, and there are plenty more. As you can plainly see that is one thing teenagers almost constantly think about. Because if they don't have a boyfriend/girlfriend they have a crush even if they say they don't. And that crush is almost always in the back of your mind.Well like I said earlier Teenagers are crazy, crazy in everything they do. You may not understand them but you have to bear with them because at some point and time you are a teenager yourself. Understanding. DogTag.

Over Reacting

Hey guys and girls. Have you ever had a problem at school and were brought to the school counselor or a teacher to discuss it. Then you tell them it isn't a big deal and you will get through it. But they make a huge deal out of it and over react. I have this happen to me plenty of times in my life. I really, truly, do hate it when they do over react. Then your being called down to talk about something that was put in the past days ago. I feel that if you say to just let it be they should just let it be. If you say its not that big of a deal, most of the time ITS NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL. So people that like to make bigger deals out of things that are nothing stop over reacting. It makes the world angry and upset. Breathe. DogTag.

Trust

Hey People of this lovely little blog. Trust. People say it is something to be earned, trust is giving someone the power to destroy you but trusting them not too. Oh what that's love but i think that phrase could be used for both. Trust is something very hard for me. And it varies from person to person. But for me in the past I've been shown why you shouldn't trust but I'm beginning to see some of the benefits from it. One of which is that if you don't trust others they will mostly not trust you back. I have also learned the most trustworthy people are the people who have something to hide themselves or who have a hard time trusting others too. So what are you?? Do you trust easily or do you only trust yourself?? No matter what I will always be by your side. DogTag.

Lies and Smiles

Hey Guys,
Do you know what it feels like to go day to day forcing smiles and hiding lie after lie behind them. I do. Now you are probably thinking LIES!?!?!?!?!? Yes, lies but they mainly consist of...
Teacher or Other Person: How are you?
Me: Good/Fine
So yes that is mainly what my lies are. Good/Fine is probably the biggest lie in the world. And yes some of them are bigger but, they are all for a good reason. Like protecting this blog. And all theses lies pass inspection with that smile. That smile so many of us hide behind. I wish just one day, ONE DAY, we could give up the lies and the smiles and show our true emotions. Our true self's. Say what really want to say. And get to know each other for ourselves. Not just the shell of smiles and sunshine we wear to protect ourselves. JUST ONE DAY... 
In the comments below tell the world about your true self. Show them you. Here I go...
Scared, Lost, Free Spirited, Loving, Outgoing, Hidden, Trapped, Loved, Interesting. And those are just a few.
So who are you? DogTag.

Friends+Crush=Disaster

Hey Peeps,
So sorry I haven't posted in a while. s you may know I have been pretty busy starting up Rant-Off and just making it awesome. So as you can see the topic is Friends+Crushes=Disaster. This is because you have all different kind of friends when it comes to crushes. There are the friends that tries to be funny by always nudging your arm or giving you a little kick to the leg making it SUPER OBVIOUS. There are the ones that drop hints when they are talking to your crush which is always good and bad. Then you got the friends that help you score points with your crush in anyway possible. For example..."O, ya well DogTag hates that teacher too. *Laughs* Its so weird how you guys have so much in common." Those are my favorite kind friends when it comes to crushes. SOOO here is a little story of a friend that tries to be funny and one that scores you points. Lets call my "funny" friend Sophie. And the other one is Fallen Musician. So both of my friends are in a musical together WITH my crush. At the time they were doing a dress rehearsal. So they were putting on there makeup. Fallen Musician isn't, well, very good with makeup so she needed help. Asking Sophie they sit down and do their makeup. Then Sophie decided it would be a good idea to go flapping her gums talking about how I like him! All Fallen Musician could do was try to shush her but, nothing helped. How about half the people know at the musical. I know Sophie was just trying to be funny but, I was really mad and hurt. I don't feel I can trust her anymore because what she thinks is funny is really just being rude to others. The only way I found out was through Fallen Musician because, she was made that Sophie did this to me. So I bet you know what kind of friend you are when it comes to crushes. I don't think I left out a type of friend, I probably did. I only named the kinds from my experiences. Think Before You Speak. DogTag.
