Too Far
To be honest, I really am never caught up with the minute to minute updates on a certain british boy band who probably people will know. I may be a person who likes their music and everything but the whole fandom actually kind of scares me. There are so many people who are so devoted and have an incredible amount of effort invested in these guys and right now, you can see the effects of it happening all over the internet.
Opinions are things I really try not to say aloud with this specific topic because of such emotions some people have but this is really a breaking point.
It's not even adults who are effected but children and that's the thing that really is so unbelievable. No matter what you say people always are being effected by comments. You really don't have to be famous to relate to this because emotions can be tricky. Just a simple "I like your dress" said in the wrong way can put off someones mood, even if it's a random stranger, especially if it's a loved one.
Being accepted everyone struggles at. People approach it in different angles. By trying to copy others who are "cool" or just trying to be that person everyone knows and loves. Often, people can share there thoughts and what they say doesn't really reflect their personality or their true selves. For example, there are tons of things that we can go on an write something anonymously without anyone knowing who said what. Sometimes (I am not saying all the time) people get all caught up in things that they know will attract attention and it feels good to be honest, to have people listen to you. You know what, you aren't being true to your self and that effects others.
Once I heard of these rumors about these young children I just couldn't believe it. What a simple thing, a joke, a laugh between people. Things can grow immensely on the internet. With so much access to people around the world, literally, the world is at your finger tips. When things become viral, they tend to get out of control (which can be an understatement for some memes, fandoms, and shipping...just to name a little...) and loose that poking fun feeling and things just get hurtful. Right now, I just really hope all the little angels who may or may not be involved in this tragic rumor are finally at peace and know that they are loved and things are now shed in a different light, for me at least. All fandoms can get big and messy but it's up to the fans to be in control...whether you like it or not....
Maturity is something even I, as a 17 year old struggle with, being between adult stage and kid stage so I really can't approach this as a black and white answer but I just want to say be careful. I am trying to not go all adult on who even reads this post but in the internet, you aren't on the playground anymore where a scrape can be mended by a kiss on the knee or accidentally being pushed down in a friendly game of tag where a hug fixes everything, now it is the real world. I know people may not want to offend others. This really isn't something I am attacking on others, because as a fan myself, I know and understand things get kind of insane. You really don't know how they feel and don't fully understand them unless you are them. You can't really analyze a person and categorize them as just one human of a billion others. Everyone can be knocked down and get hurt in their own way and words cut deep, you need to know that. There is no one to strictly point a finger at I can think of without thinking incredibly too hard, until my brain hurts but its just an horrendously awful result.
So I just want to said everyone, just go and give the nearest person in the room a hug because to be honest, no one can ever be loved too much. Acceptance is something we all strive for and spreading the love is just a simple way that shows a person you like who they are. It's a really tough world out there and yes, it is sooo crazy. In life, there are ups and down but mostly, I'm pretty sure everyone wants more of those positive moments instead of those negative ones we would probably rather throw away. Everyone deserves a happy ending and that perfect life with no regrets so why not give it a shot. So, sorry I went a little too deep in this blog for peoples liking maybe but I felt like this was something I had to approach.
And finally, you, the person sitting here reading this, yes you! I really don't expect to myself to be the next big motivational speaker or anything because I am just a person who sits down once in a while and tries to get those nagging thoughts out of my head, but my message to you is just be the best version of you that you can be and i promise that there are people in this world who will accept you for who you are. Life is ever so precious so live it up, be that person others can rely on and understand, and things will all become much better. xxx
