      The thing is, mostly, everyone in high school is mature. Some just act like kids because they want to. They're aging, growing up, becoming an adult. They don't want to. They don't want to feel the responsibilities of life crushing them down moment by moment. I'm a high school student myself, and countless people have told me this. It's not about being mature at this point. It's about having as much fun as you can before you are forced to become just another boring, sterotypical adult. I wish some were mature, but I understand why they aren't, and I feel like other people need to understand it too.

      Demons exist, and the devil comes to steal kill and destroy and uses people to do so❤
      Btw telling the demon to stay doesnt do anything unless you have the holy spirit you arent safe.
      People: okay please stay this is your place❤
      Demon: okay
      People: **leaves**
      Demon: **Goes with them anyway**
      Demons arent gonna make it obvious they are there so yeah.
      Demons are fallen angels that uses the form of our passed away loved ones to make us believe ghost exist and the souls of the person we knew still remains here❤❤
      Astrology is demonic before my relationship with God I would always do zodiac signs literally just a bunch of sins put into each one I bet if everyone was sinless zodiac signs wouldn't make sense and literally a cover up for demons❤
      Hearts are deceitful above all things, listen to God❤
      Depression can be a demon you may need deliverance❤
      God said unless you're born again spiritually u will not enter the kingdom of heaven also God doesn't judge us by our good works he's judging us by our sins Gods standards are so high he's that HOLY saying oh my God is using Gods name in vain it's called blasphemy ❤
      To get to heaven you must believe with all your heart that Jesus died and rose again paid full price for your sins repent and receive his Holy spirit.

      Okay now pray this to be saved and to get to heaven pray out loud
      Jesus I confess that you are my lord and savior
      I believe in my heart that God raised you from the dead I ask to receive your holy spirit and I repent of my sins with your help❤ by faith in your word I receive salvation now
      Thank you for saving me! I am now reborn a christian a child of almighty God I am saved thank you Jesus! *Be genuine when praying this*
      Watch videos on how to receive Gods holy spirit on YT
      God creates Jesus redeems The holy spirit changes
      Now our good deeds and works we think are good are like filthy rags in the eyes of God

      8demonic movies music or video games
      9soul times items
      10pornography
      Now like a theif robbing a store, demons won't make it obvious they are there unless they have to.
      Now know you can't save yourself Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life
      You have insurance on your house if it ever caught on fire which rarely happens but when it comes to your soul, you play with it like you have forever to make your choice which you don't
      150k+ people Die everyday and you never know when it may be you
      God spent 9 months shaping and forming you before you were born but only 7 days on earth you're fearfully and wonderfully made beautiful in the eyes of God❤
      Don't waste time Hearts are deceitful above all things ask God for wisdom and understanding we are just tiny humans with a 3 pound brain and our imaginations cannot go beyond what we already know❤
      Your souls is so valuable both Satan and God want it but it's your choice who you will serve
      You serve the devil when you
      Lie
      Hate
      Blasphemy
      Disobey
      Lazy
      Gossip
      Gluttony
      Wanting what others have cause what God has for you is for you he will never deliver your male to someone else's house
      Hate
      And unforgivness
      And cussing murder and more
      And once you die, you're locked with your choice of where you're spending eternity God doesn't care about you doing more good then bad cause he's not judging that God never said that's the way to heaven
      So who's lying you or God? Be serious about this❤
      God is holy and righteous God is love
      So either you would play around because you don't believe hell exist or you don't believe you're going there but the bible makes it very clear
      The path to destruction is wide and easy many are on it the path to eternal life is hard and nerrow very few find it and to get into heaven u can only enter through the nerrow gate❤
      You dont have to wait until you die to know if youre going to heaven you can know right now 100% where youre going❤
      Satan doesnt rule hell this is a myth when lucifer known as satan now became prideful and rebelled against God he took many angels with him Demons are fallen angels we live in a spirital and physical world so hell was made for punishment for satan and his angels and the reason why people go there is because they Align themsleves with the devil in SIN!
      Sin separates us from God and the wages of sin is death if youre found guilty with one sin on judgment day you will not enter the kingdom of heaven so the thing is We us humans broken Gods law and jesus paid the fine! So the good news is you dont have to go to hell if you accept him as your lord and savior!
      God offered us eternal life as a free gift and you receive it by faith! You dont have to work for it you dont have to pay all you have to do is receive it by faith❤
      Don't expect Gods best when you always give him your least don't reject him anymore let him come in and change your life❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

      It's not always an option to not care about what others think about you because many don't stop at thoughts and cause you very real harms, not just words. Especially when they realise you don't care about them, they do everything to catch your attention and hurt you. They are probably socio- or psychopaths I guess, certainly not humans, but there are so many of them it's baffling.

    • @nissutobor9078
      @nissutobor9078 7 месяцев назад +4

      Agree, but the memorizing bit... It's kindof like performing a song that you've composed. You know it well enough that you can improvise off the base, and the end product is more or less the same, because the expression is your own. That is to say, its not like regurgitating a chapter from a text book. Not to say it's not impressive, because she's awesome. The process is just much more intimate than raw memorization, as its a part of the whole.

I stopped thinking I was fat. I stopped looking at my eyebags wishing they were gone. I don't get bullied that often anymore. I have one or two friends, but for me that's enough.I stand up for others. I believe that you, the person reading this, can do it too. Yes, I still sometimes feel a little insecure, but then I remeber how far I've come. The things I went through. I feel proud of myself. And I want everyone here to know, that I believe in you.

When I was younger my only wish for the world was world peace and happiness for everyone, now as a almost teen I know that society wants u to fail, they want u to feel bad about urself so they feel good about them. All society is is a huge race to the top and they will pull ur hair to get ahead the will trip u up and they will knock u down but sometimes u don’t even want to get back up because u KNOW IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, u know it’s only a matter of time until the next person breaks ur heart u know ur spiral down to the starting line is just around that corner and u know that it’s not even going to make a difference because no one will even notice but if u tell them the laugh they make life torture and they will make it worse. No one can win in this world, no one can touch that finish line and taste victory. No one ever has and they never will

    I'm a 7th grader now, and this poem is more true than anything I've ever heard. This girl is very special, I'm going to write down the whole poem right here.
    'Why am I not good enough?' by Olivia Vella
    One, take a shower, you don't wanna smell
    Two, pick out an outfit that will fit in with the latest trends
    And won't make you the laughing stock of the school more than you already are
    Three, put on some makeup
    So you can actually show your face in public
    And be a little bit pretty
    You can't even recognize yourself
    And your face tingles with an unrelievable itch you can't satisfy
    Otherwise you will have ruined the hours of meticulous painting
    You applied to your hideous face
    Four, don't forget to style your hair in elegant curls
    You can't let everyone at school see how your hair frizzes up
    Like an electrocuted monkey naturally
    Five, shove your fat feet into those toe pinching,
    Blood blistering
    Converse that everyone at school is wearing
    And you cannot be the odd one out
    As you gaze into the bathroom mirror
    You see a stranger that somehow stole your reflection
    And replaced it with a completely different girl
    Every part of your outfit is uncomfortable
    But even though you spend hours trying to look pretty
    You will never be as good as those other girls at school
    You are actually holding back a few tears
    But you feel like you are holding back a tsunami of emotion
    You can't let anyone else know how you feel
    Otherwise they will never respect you the same way they used to,
    Or did they ever...
    Why am I not good enough? Beauty is pain
    Six, get off the bus
    Seven, find a group of people you can walk to class with
    Because heaven knows you can't just walk alone
    But you don't even like these people
    They cuss and they make dirty jokes a lot
    And they laugh and make fun of you
    You know you shouldn't hang out with them
    But hey, they are the popular kids,
    And you just want people to like you like they like them
    You are in the stocks,
    As people throw judging tomatoes
    And hating heads of lettuce at your insecure little head
    You cannot stand up for yourself
    Because you are alone, trapped, and defenseless
    And you cannot stand up for yourself
    Because these popular kids are like the royalty of the school
    And apparently, what they say and do goes
    You take each comment,
    Each judgement,
    Each assumption,
    Each opinion,
    Each strange look,
    Each remark,
    Each criticism,
    Each review,
    Each report,
    Each assessment
    And with it, your self esteem plummets like a sinking ship
    Down, down, down, into the dark and dreary depths below
    You look at all of the other girls, your mind racing a mile a minute
    I wish I had her eyes,
    I wish I had her hair
    I wish I was as skinny as her,
    I wish I had her perfectly straight white teeth
    I wish that I had her social confidence,
    I wish as many boys liked me as they liked her
    Why am I not good enough? Life isn't fair
    Eight, get your work done
    The only part of your life that seems solvable is the actual schoolwork
    You take pride in your work because it is possibly the only thing special about you
    You do it to see the radiant smiles on your teachers' faces as they applaud your work
    Their joyful praise is the gentle rain that brings forth a magnificent rainbow.
    That radiant sunshine that brings forth fields of sweet daisies
    One of the only things that brings you happiness,
    But it is not popular to be smart.
    In fact, you are seen as a nerd,
    Too smart,
    Human calculator,
    Brainiac,
    Geek,
    Teacher's pet,
    Suck up
    Whatever wonderful name you can think of
    You peers' jealousy is the pollution that prevents a rainbow,
    The bulldozer that plows through the fields of once golden daisies
    The intangible object that crushes your happiness like a bug,
    A's are getting you nothing but torment
    Why am I not good enough? Just get over it
    Nine, it's the end of the day, get ready for bed
    Ten, undress, get your pajamas on.
    Wow, did I get fatter today?
    Eleven, undo your hair.
    Wow, my hair looks like a mop.
    Twelve, wash off all of your makeup...
    I can't even look at myself.
    This is my life every day, I can't control it.
    I've been told I can't compare apples and oranges,
    I've been told I'm distorted
    I've been told I have to be grateful for who I am
    But going through your middle school years,
    You are on your own journey to find yourself on a small jet
    And sometimes, you cannot control what happens to you
    The turbulence will throw you off course,
    But popular isn't always a good thing
    You tell yourself "I just want people to like me,"
    "I just want to be accepted"
    But skipping meals and marking up your wrist isn't going to fix that
    You look at other girls wishing you were them
    But other girls are looking at you wishing they were you
    Society infers, "Girls have to have skinny waists,
    Tan skin
    Long silky hair,
    Perfectly straight teeth,
    Big butts and etc."
    Society infers, "Girls have to wear tons of makeup to be pretty."
    Society infers, "Girls have to wear skanky clothing
    And do inappropriate things with boys to be happy and considered cool."
    But society is wrong
    You are loved
    You are precious
    You are beautiful
    You are talented
    You are capable
    You are deserving of respect
    You can eat that meal
    You are one in seven billion
    And most of all...
    You are good enough

    The only thing that brings you joy. Until you go so far into the void that you lose motivation, and you lose your happiness too. Until you get too deep, and it’s too late for anyone to get you out of the sinking quicksand of anxiety and depression. (My own thoughts and experiences)
    I absolutely love the emotion she put into her words. She speaks the truth that every kid has been dealing with but every adult overlooks. She’s a wonderful young woman and I know she has a bright future ahead.
    (Also I’m literally gonna cry this girl is precious and must be protected at all costs)

      Keep up good grades like A and B but don’t stress yourself out about one or two C or s bad grade
      Be nice to everyone but if someone is being mean say something or stand up for yourself snd tell an adult and parent
      Wear what you want to wear don’t wear something because so and so said that feel whatever makes you feel like you
