Just A Normal Girl

I absolutely love this poem. It's everything I'm about. I'm so different than everyone else in school, but in a way I can only be proud. I couldn't care less about others' opinions towards me. I love this poem so, so much that I may start to live by it.

I can relate to your poem very easily. Of course if the pampering girls (most of them) in my class read this, they'd mock it. But this poem describes normal girls like us...actually, I think this poem would knock some sense into those other girls.

These comments are absolutely fantastic!! I'm so glad you all liked it and that it's even gone so far as to help some of you feel better/see things differently! Six years on and people are still reading my poem - that is amazing!

This poem is related to my situation, and people will never stop judging us. Let us be who we are, let us live the life that we will remember, and let us decide for ourselves this is our "world." People will always talk even if you do good things.

It was an entirely new experience reading your poem, and my suggestion is to be yourself because the best of you is yourself, and 10 years from now you don't want to know how you ruined your life by thinking about makeup and concentrating in such useless things. You really would want to be proud of how you progressed in life with education and how you were yourself and enjoyed your life.

This poem is so relatable to my situation. People will never stop judging us. Just be what we are!

Hi, I am from India, and I thought that I was the only girl who's like this, but I am so glad to know that you all are exactly like me. Well, I think we all are actually normal and those girls are weird. Your poem is amazing.

If only the other girls at school could see this then they might actually understand were I am
coming from.
It is practically my life in a poem, I am no girly girl.

I have a strange feeling we would be best friends if were in the same school. It's funny how much I can relate to you and btw I love your poem.

This poem is absolutely amazing. It is just like every girl at my old school. I wish I could meet you in person! That would be awesome! You are a very inspiring person and you are going to help me a lot by getting me throughout the next 7 years of school and then uni. I am only in year 7. Wish me luck!

P.S. thanks for the poem and confidence

Please. Can you please move here and go to my school? I wish that there were more kids like this. For me, sometimes I'll wear makeup and spend time on my hair and clothes, but only when I'm in the mood for it, which isn't very often. And I went through a stage where I was pretty superficial (when I started middle school), but I'm a lot like you right now. I hate how people think that you have to be loud and obnoxious and good at sports and blah blah blah to be worth something. I hate how people call me a nerd or a killjoy because I want them to shut up so I can focus on working. Anyways, great poem, thanks for writing it :)

O...M...G... I totally feel you! This poem really touched me. I'm glad I'm not the only one like this!!!!!

• by Kinsvia, Norina

Haha, EXACTLY how I am. All of that idiotic "Cool" and "Popular" stuff doesn't suit me at all. AT ALL. I find it interesting and relieving that there are others out there that aren't all about the "Outside" lookers. :) Good job!

I'm also just an ordinary girl like everyone but my teachers say I write pretty nice poems about mother's love because I never got a mothers love I don't know what I'm saying just thanks to explain your inner feelings with this world

That was awesome! I'm not in high school yet since I'm only 12, but I think there is the same problem at my school. I think kids in my class are more focused on staying at the top of the social scale than actually doing something with their lives. I don't care about my hair, or spend an hour looking for the perfect clothes. When we have free dress, I put on jeans, a t-shirt, and a hoodie. I'm a quiet girl who tries to ignore what people think even though it is sometimes hard. I thought no one else could understand! thanks!

Omg, thank you so much for writing this, I am the same exact way as you, except without friends...

Wow, this poem is off the chain! I'm like you A LOT! In some ways.. NOT so much... but for the most part yes! I wish many of the girls in my school were the same way!!!

This poems just sums me up completely! Everyone at my school judges you on how you look and doesn't care about personality. Every morning I tie my hair back and put no makeup on and like it says in the poem I don't care what people think because they don't really know me! Some of my friends are quite popular so I guess I am in with that crowd sometimes and it isn't me at all! So nice to hear about someone else who doesn't seem to care about being part of the popular group! Loved this poem :)

I like your poem... Even though I'm the complete opposite of you, it's great!

When I see my cousin. I could feel the hurt all around him. When I look into his eyes I see the pain in them. When I hang out with him I feel the hate on him and the jealously. I could feel that people or some put him down everyday. I could feel that his heart is broken. I can tell that he wants to cry but doesn't want to. I want to walk a mile in his shoes. I learnt to see what he is feeling. Cousin all I am going to say is come to me for help. There is still hope for don't give up and don't listen to what they say. Just live your life and live on.

why do girls even care about looking nice
boys don't even notice you at all
they don't care how you look or they never notice if u put on makeup
don't try to make your self pretty for just a guy
you pretty just the way you are
no matter if your dark, light, short or tall
only you can be you
and you're beautiful just the way you are
don't try to be pretty just for guys.

Finally someone who realizes that high school isn't about relationships and showing off. People just forget that they're only going to be there for a couple of years and that when they get to college their professors aren't going to care how many "friends" they had or what brand of jeans they buy. It's so nice to hear someone with some perspective. Thanks for writing this poem

I can't believe that you haven't any comments, because I think, that's the most admirable attitude I've heard from a school girl before. It kind of seems hard to find a girl like you at school, but I realize now, it's only because you're the girls who don't make a fool of themselves.
Cheers mate.

haha, you just described me! It's nice to know that there are people out there that feel this way too!
