Logical fallacies 

1. As I was growing up my parents worked hard from a young age to drill in the difference between wrong a right. There is right from wrong just like there is black and white with no in between, until we discovered this grey area. it’s taken me a whole 17 years to realise this but my whole life I have been living in a bubble, a bubble that surround the wanaka community and keeps us apart from the real world. on the other side of the bubble there are people far worse off but we can’t seem to get the shit out of our eyes to see that.

2. From the age of 12 girls were told that if a boy pulled on our hair or poked us with his pencil it’s because he likes you, but they didn’t like it that much. from the age of 13 girls walk down the street getting looked at from head to feet and they would listen to people replace their identity from human to an object or even a piece of meat. in my eyes it’s wrong, 

3. As they would say cringe worthy things to us frozen in place, but continue to walk past at our own pace. We know we have to watch what we wear because if too much shoulder is showing then the boys would stare and we had to change because it distracts them from their learning. It’s wrong, 

4. Although the only thing we were learning was tips and tricks to tie our shirt so it didn’t hang low, because that would show the boys that we wanted it. because wearing tank tops and shorts means that we are flaunting it. It’s wrong, 

5. We try to be discreet with our choice of clothing so our identities don’t become replaced with objects as meaningless as a bike. Some how it evolved from us playing with toys to us becoming the toys, from boys poking us, to men provoking us only so boys can be boys and us women will never tell. Its all wrong. 

6. People always say that the girls of this generation are so vain, why can they put their brains towards books instead of good looks. through the following on my social mediaI used to blame girls too to being more than a perfect body with a pretty hair dew although had never seen this occur in our little bubble. Its all wrong 

7. Then I stepped out into the world I opened my eyes to the truth about being a girl and would hear guys say ‘dude she was 10 times tighter then that girl you dusted the other day’ or ‘man I want to get your sister someday’ or ‘her ass looks like a racetrack with those stretch marks, but at least it’s big like kim K’. its all wrong 

8. I never grew up thinking those things, but I guess it’s my bad aye. Don’t blame me but when i thought about boys i thought about dinner dates and soulmates not fuckboys that look at you like shark bait. Its all wrong 

9.  It breaks my heart for every girl growing up in this bubble knowing they will get caught in there own stubbornness thinking that it’s all about how you look and the toys you own, putting unnecessary pressure on themself . its all wrong,

10. Instead of how was your day messgaes we get you up, wanna come fuck messages. please do not assume anyone belongs in your bedroom we belong in a conference room. Its all wrong 

11. This does not belong in our future and among this twisted generation we live in, in our little “wanaka bubble” there has been ways to get out of the black area where people do something that is wrong and it becomes okay although it is still not right. So its now okay?

12. This is called the grey area submerged between black and white to find the sick truth about our society. Please Look up and look around what do you see? Grey? Me too grey walls that surround grey faces that hide grey souls. This wanaka bubble we live in is fading into 50 shades of grey. 

13. Here is an example imagine yourself in this situation, it’s been a long day your legs ache, your head throbs and it’s drilling a sickly feeling into my stomach you rest your  head ready for another day. You then wake up in the morning after very few hours of sleep only to find your swimming in blood, a new cycle has started and your new sheets are ruined gross right, just keeping it real. Its okay 

14. It’s been 5 minutes into the day and You have already found 5 more solid pimples on your face, your hips are feeling large and in charge looking like a swollen rag doll. Your already exhausted and your greasy hair is breaking barriers of your self esteem. Its still okay 

15. you feel as if feel knives are stabbing into your gut wanting to roll over and go to sleep but you need to achieve the day. Already feeling as if You have been defeated you put on your most superior outfit to remind yourself that you are strong and I have a reason to be here with a purpose that you are going to achieve something today. Its okay 

16. You start my day as good as it can be arriving in class to take a seat hoping that when you sit for the next hour you don’t leak. you get asked to stand in front of the class with your swollen pimple face and all. Students eyeballing you from head to toe as you uncomfortably stand there wondering if you’re going to crap yourself or if it’s just the intense gases circulating your stomach. Its okay 

17. You listen to what the teacher has to say about your outfit and as the words come out of his mouth your throat sinks to the bottom of your gassy gutt not knowing what to reply. Now the whole class knows that you have a camel toe, feeling uncomfortable yet? Your now unsure If it’s the pad supporting your painful bleeding situation that has offset this conversation, but you know what they are saying is wrong. This is not okay 

18. You know you don’t deserve to be humiliated, ashamed and embarrassed like this. And this lovely little bubbled community we live in managed to turn the situation around on you, although someone has just denied you to your human rights and challenged your very humanity. They think it’s okay. 

19. Some would say it’s wrong but most people wouldn’t care enough to do more then swept the situation under the carpet and move on with there to do list and this is our reality. It’s not okay. 

20. Are you sorry for dressing yourself because the schools to slack and lazy to enforce a proper school uniform for our so called “important seniors” Are you sorry that your outfit that covers you from head to feet made them feel uncomfortable because I’m not. 

21. I’m sorry that they have to stoop so low to try crush our confidence and get inside our head so they can feel empowered and sickly respected. I’m sorry that we have to work in fear of one another and i’m sorry that you are to scared to step out of your comfort zone to stand up for what you believe in, i know its hard but trust me does it look like im in my comfort zone right now. This is what our bubbles community teaches us and it’s not okay.  

22. Why is it so difficult for people to see right from wrong and the people that support these “okay” situations i actually feel bad for them, I really do. I feel bad that they are so weak they try turn these bad decisions into situations that are okay due to the lack of respect they have for others. It’s really not okay. 

23. I hate to say it but this whole school if full of “grey” where we know it’s wrong but because the school it’s trying so hard to be what it’s not to keep up with this materialistic bubble we live in they make us believe it’s okay. But its not okay? 

24. Brainwashing students to believe it’s okay for men to body shame the young women of the class because the teachers can do it and continue to get away with it. Showing us that it’s okay to treat people poorly because we are only students and we don’t know what it’s like in the real world. It’s not okay  

25. Making us feel uncomfortable in no matter what we show up in to school because I can guarantee no girl is going to show up in a $200 long pleated quilt and an itchy fleece by choice. 

26. I mean i could feel bad for my undie line showing through my pants or I could choose to ignore it and enjoy my life instead. And I for sure as hell will keep wearing undies and long pants because it’s god damn human and I do not owe anyone an explanation about my body or my health. And this is right. 

27. Why do you think the teachers were so stressed out when euro came to visit. It’s because they were paranoid that they would see straight through the 50 shades of grey this school surround them self in. So don’t let these grey walls define your opinion on their grey decision because these fake people believe in fake realitys. And it’s not okay. 

28. Just imagine how sad it must having to convince everyone else you are not wrong when you know damn straight you’re not right. So don’t get caught up in it and stay honest to yourself for the sake of our society. This is my school, my family, my home, my community and my heart. And I’m done apologizing for standing up for things I believe in, taking time for myself, politely disagreeing with someone, crying or being emotional, when someone asks for something I can’t give them, not knowing the answer to a question and when someone’s unrealistic expectations of me are not met.  This is okay 

29. The shades of grey does not stop within the school grounds don’t get me wrong it’s now taking over the beauty of our society. It’s like beautiful doesn’t even exist anymore unless you can cross everything of the checklist. Big but, big boobs, skinny waist includes being hairless and careless but still has an awareness but no fairness, i want to be seen as beautiful too. It’s not okay

30. While for you men you must have big eyes, tell no lies, defined six pack and a beautiful smile with a small nose, plump lips, defined hips the standard tall dark and handsome, sounds normal right? 

31. I don’t know about you but I don’t want to be deemed I mean i’m not the same girl I was at 15 i mean i’m stuck in between being a girl and a woman growing up in this world where it’s telling me to be sexy, get a degree but never disagree. Is it okay? 

32. A community that has not taught me that being a woman is living in fear that your basic health care will disappear. Or that your paycheck might be smaller than the guy who has the same job. Or the boss that might tell you to stop giving him those eyes. If you want a raise you got to compromise and show me what lies above those thighs because it’s not okay. 

33. Although no one will see this as wrong just a grey patch where it will once again get swept under the carpet for us to move on with, because who cares how they actually fell and how they emotionally stable they are this is our un-efficient bubble and it’s not okay. 

34. I’m getting real tired of this small town talk this beautiful place we live in is getting so materialistic it hurts to see the true heart of this place fade to grey. We are stuck in a bubble a bubble that stops us from connecting to the “real word” and it’s not okay. 

35. Imagine if all you had to offer was friendship, no toys, no money just friendship like who would still be around. Real situations expose fake people so sometimes it involves getting down on life to find whos really down with you.

36. People pretend well when their souls are for sale and sometimes it’s the ones you love the most that want to see you fail that’s real. Just because they are riding with you does not mean they are riding for you that’s facts. Loyalty shouldn’t depend on your present its more about how they act behind your back who can you trust. 

37. There are so many people I would fight for only to realise they wouldn’t stand for us and yet these are the ones we call friends. You know they ones that care so much about us but yet so silent when you win. The ones that bring gossip to you about you but your name but they never defend it.

38. I may be a young lady but my parents always taught me to speak out and fight for what I believe is right, so here i am speaking for every student her at school, we will not stop until we hold our rights for every colour, size, shape, sexual identity, and place in this world and that is the truth about living in this bubble.

39. If you see something you know is wrong please don’t be afraid to stand up and do something about it and Learn to say no without explaining yourself because that’s the reality we need right now the people that choose to stand against it are people with a real heart. And for those of you that want to sit back and let this happen before your own eyes, good luck to you.
