About

rather than letting others define you based on your gender and what you should be doing to live up to that stereotype, mix it up. be who you are, no matter who that is, no matter how you have to express yourself. just be. who are you? you can be anyone. rather being defined, just define yourself. can you be vague? just try. just live.

so here's whats up

while our society does offer many opportunities for children to grow up and be whoever they want to be, live however they want to live, and think however they want to think, the children of today are still distressed by the gender stereotypes that we have fitted to our culture. both girls and boys need to learn that as they grow up, they should to be free to express their emotions and opinions in any healthy way, no matter what sex their way of expression suits. gender stereotypes are stealing opportunities away from our youth to go in whatever direction they choose, simply because they are being told that they have to live up to certain expectations as boys or girls. we can find a solution to this issue. as today's kids and teens develop, we need to teach them that they have the ability to express themselves however they want to--whether it be through playing with trucks, dolls, or both. Whether it be liking the color pink, the color green, or the entire rainbow. Whether it be crying when frustrated, or getting angry. our children should not be limited in modes of expression simply because of their sex. by teaching the children of today that they can express themselves in any healthy way they choose, we are opening an entire avenue of ideas for girls and boys to explore that they might not have considered before. through this, we can ensure that the adults of tomorrow will be diverse, independent, real, and content in their true selves.

“ He smiled understandingly-much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced—or seemed to face—the whole external world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey.
