Raging.

I'm going to preface this by warning everyone what a stupid blog this will be.

Okay, you're prepared.

I'm tired of "sorority girls" being a thing. By "a thing," I mean an easy target to talk down on. Someone posted on twitter that being a sorority girl makes you less attractive. I don't care about the being attractive thing-- what bugs me is that somehow, it has become this wildly agreed upon opinion that everyone can hate on greek people, because they all are shallow and collectively suck and don't deserve the respect to not be stereotyped.

Everyone is first to defend the band kids, the emo kids, the music lovers, the hippy burn outs, nerds, gay people, minorities-- but when it's something people perceive as socially popular, than it just becomes cool to talk shit. It's the same issue I have with people talking smack on the rich business man-- since when did success become a bad thing?

Ok, there are a lot of answers to that question, but I just mean in a really grand scheme kind of way-- if I tell people I was raised poor (which I wasn't), I get more respect and admiration from people than if I say I was raised with money (which I also wasn't, at least until high school).

It's the negative thinking that "those people" (greeks, rich people, whatever) assume they're better than you, so it's ok for you to talk shit on them to even it out or something. Couldn't just let them go on having a positive attitude about themselves; because that translates to "stuck up," even though we preach and preach about having good self esteem. What we really mean is, you should have good self esteem if you feel badly about yourself, but once you become well adjusted and do start to like yourself, you should be more self deprecating and be brought down a peg. Because you don't deserve to feel good about yourself.

Mostly, you should just learn to be comfortable with yourself, and not bully your way to the top by telling other people they aren't as good as you. There's room for all of us up here.
