Guardian Angel

If I could pick one person who would follow me and give me advice, then I would pick JK Rowling. Even though she's not that old or historical, I believe that her advice would benefit me more than anyone else's. She's a humble, successful author known in many corners of the world. She used to have a really tough life but managed to make something of herself even though she was laughed at because she wanted to be a writer. Or even better, a fiction fantasy writer.
I've always wanted to write for a living and not have a 9-5 job that's boringly routine. I love writing and hate sitting in a classroom all day so it's kind of my dream job. And the idea that someone like JK made it in life gives me inspiration.
So if she could be my guardian angel and help me through it, it would be amazing.
Though no matter how far I go, I'll never get anywhere near Harry Potter's standards. And I'm not even upset about that. 

What "We're" Scared Of

One thing that the a lot of the world is afraid of (not me) is for gays to have equality. Years ago the world was scared of females gaining power, interracial marriage, and race equality. Many people are still against these things but overall the world has matured.  But nowadays many people are still hung up on the fact that not everyone is attracted to the opposite sex.

Funnily enough some of these people are gay themselves. 

Growing Pains

The worst part about growing up is that you can't complain about stupid things as much. Almost everyone wishes that they have someone who cares enough to listen to ever stupid detail you have to complain about. As a kid those people who were forced to listen were your parents. They had no choice but to listen to you whether they cared or not about the paper cut you got on your pinky finger.

Nowadays, if I go up to my mom or dad and start complaining endlessly about a paper cut I got in school they'd probably sigh and walk away. To be fair to myself I don't complain about things as small as a paper cut but it's the idea.

Also, now that I'm older I bear the responsibility of having to listen and care about younger children's stories about their own adventures and paper cuts.

It's like a cycle.

If Our Roles Were Switched

If I were my own parent I'd honestly be exhausted. At home, it seems that all I tend to do is complain about how much I disagree with school. Now, my parents don't act negatively or tired towards my complaining, which I am very grateful for. But if I were my parents I would act the complete opposite. Maybe it's because I'm very impatient when it comes to adolescent issues even though I have many of them and am an adolescent myself. 

I would think along the lines of:

Wow, how can someone dislike school so much. Was I like this at her age? Maybe there's something fundamentally wrong with her. Hopefully she'll grow out of it when she goes to college. Or maybe it will get worse... I'm really looking forward to that...

Mental Environmentalism

"I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction"
-Albert Einstein

Honestly, I think Einstein got it right this time, as he did many other things. He feared this day, and it has come. 

I wake up every day wondering why I have to. Not "why do I have to wake up at all," but "why do I have to wake up at this exact time every day and have no choice in the matter?"
Is there some big set of guidelines imprinted in the sky, forever locked away, forcing us to listen everything people say until we turn 18. Is 18 a magical number, where the minute I hit it, my life magically changes and I'm freed from the chains of listening to anyone older than me and forced into believing they're right because they have the right to be?

I feel like being a teenager has many limitations, simply from the title. To many, any opinion, however intelligent or logical, will be seen as irrelevant and stupid just because the person who believes it still has a 1 as the first number of their age. Quiet frankly, it's completely unfair and quite idiotic.

My mind nowadays is filled with impossibly fantastic fictional events with fictional characters from books and shows that make me want to run home from school everyday just so I can meet them again. Lately, I've been finding that feeling rare because many other things tend to get in my way. Like my super, vitally important math test on how to graph logarithmic functions. I have no idea what balancing a cheque book means or what a mortgage is, but I can tell you what Meursault from The Stranger had for breakfast, but hey? That's what truly matter right?

Wrong.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying I'm pumped and eager to know how taxes work, but to me that will stick with me in the future more than any other thing I've learned. As cheesy and fake as it sounds, I love learning. The only problem is that school completely killing it for me.

If books, shows, movies, travel, are what make me happy and what give me a reason to wake up in the morning, then why can't I have it? Why must I be forced to be part of this system of education? And most importantly, why is no one doing anything about it? It just makes me believe that the minute you turn into an adult, your memories of your adolescent feelings and beliefs get wiped out. It seems nowadays the only people who care are us. Now, I'm sure there are people who aren't teenagers who agree with us, but I feel it's scarce because it's scarce in our society.

I find myself constantly worrying about the most trivial and pointless things. 

I haven't checked my Twitter in a few hours.
*Logs on*
"@KewlGurl81: my rents ddnt get me new iphone 5! uuuuuuuuuuuuuugh"
*Logs off*

Repeat cycle every few hours/minutes.

I don't want to rely on such stupid things but I feel that since I was born in this era, then I have no other choice in the matter. Once again.

So I ask you, in your opinion, why can't people do as they please as long as it's no harm to others? Who dictates these rules and why do we have to follow them?

Collective Global Security

What is need to achieve Collective Global Security?
Personally, I don't believe CGB can be achieved. I believe we can always have less conflict between nations as time progresses, but I don't believe there's a way to give everyone what they want, making it fair to all nations.
How should a collective international body handle nations that are a threat to collective global security?
First, there should be no threatening towards the rogue nation. If there is, then the whole point of peace and security is being contradicted. Perhaps a way to handle the nation is to reason with it and find out if there are valid reasons for their demands or whether there's an underlying reason.
Where would the international body get its power and legitimacy?
In the body, all nations would be equal, with no nation leading the rest. A representative from each nation would get together and decide on some ground rules. However, the people should be agreed on the representative so it doesn't become forced on the citizens.

Snowflake Avalanche

"No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible" -Voltaire

What avalanche is your snowflake in?

I'm part of several avalanches.
I'm part of the technological "avalanche."
We are the first generation to grow up on the internet. The way we learn, develop, and grow in the next few years is part of what will determine how internet and technology is perceived.
I'm also part of the avalanche that destroys gender and gay inequalities. Even though I'm not personally involved in changing anything, I'm a firm believer of those rights. When a movement has enough followers, sometimes that's all it takes to make it happen. This is the age where same-sex marriage is being slowly legalized across some countries. It's also the age where people start realizing that women are being portrayed and treated unequally to men, in ways other than jobs and roles. Being a person who believes in these movements, I am part of the avalanche.
