Why you forcin' you to be hard.., Why ain't you a thug by choice.. Options

[jnukes]

^ quoted from jadakiss - why

i've put some thought into that and it seems like everyone wants to be "gangster" or everyone who isn't "gangster", tha people that are, push tha ones that aren't to actin like one. IMO, this includes

-clothes (baggy pants, semi biggish shirts, shorts passed your knees
-language (cussing)
-language again (see below..)
-rapping
-baller
-able to beatbox


this is how it is in my school, basically.

language again explaination

NO GUYS in my school ever say cute, or beautiful. it's all about using "hot" or "sexy". i mean.. there's a friggin difference "hot" and "cute". and "sexy" and "beautiful". like if i say "oh she's cute" in front of my friends they'd laugh at me because i didn't say "hot".

everyone has their different tastes. and stuff


*sigh* whew, sorry i had to get this off my chest.. there's probably more but i just can't think of it right now..

I'd point the finger at a specific group for this pressure. but I dont wanna incite.



ALWAYS stick with being who you really are. Anything else is an insult to your existence.

i think its cute, [or how you GUYS would say it, "sexy"] when guys say i'm CUTE or BEAUTIFUL. i dotn like it when they say HOT or SEXY.

[penguin]

Lol, I know what you mean. It's kinda annoying...but the part that annoys me the most is that they walk too slow. To the point where I have to shove them out of my hand literally. Okay, so you're a gangsta. You're gonna kick my ass if I push you out the way?

*cough* Whatever.

[CloudUnionX]

People always feel like they have to change themselves or act different just to fit in.
*Shakes Head*
Its so stupid.

[sikdragon]

most gangsters and thugs aren't that high on the intellectual scale. I mean they are thugs come on. The big dumb guys that do the dirty work and take the fall. Why do people wanna be like them? Im Irish so i could never become a made man in the Italian mafia.<my anti-gang
Street gangs are retarded. It's all about turf and killing and drugs. Well low level members that's all it is. black culture is this year's hot button so push it till the squeaker explodes.

Took the words right out my mouth.

Maybe some people feel insecure about themselves and think they need to change themselves to fit in, or be secure with themselves...blah, I don't know what I'm talking about.

[Yemmerz]

`Cause some little kids think they're some certified gangstas.
I say, you drop them off in Compton and see how they're doing after a day or two.

But that's just me.

[rainnydaiis]

yea i agree,

i really hate how ppl try 2 act all gangsta when they really rnt and trying 2 be somethin they're not.

wangster. aye -.-

and yea have 2 agree wit you. just be who you r, and talk how u want. if they joke bout wat u said, thats their problem.

try not 2 comform 2 society and be like everybody else in wat they do or say.

[sheepy]

well teens dese days r like this, we're all under pressure

[vivieeeen]

hm.. i agree with you
i know that it's not right to call a lady "fine"

you'll get another one of those arguements hehe..

this guy from another xanga visited mine, and asked:"what's wrong with saying a girl fine?"

I said: "as a girl, i prefer 'beautiful' or 'cute' or 'lovely' or.." yea

[Saeglopur]

^ Haha Fine. Yeah.

It's like, "Oh Hello. How are you?" "I'm fine."

That's like saying she's okay.. not pretty. Pssh. Saying girls are beautiful gives deeper meaning.

Oh and there's a lot of wannabes in my school..

[nyctophiliac]

yeah i don't like the
"gangster" image either
it's rather annoying

All the guys at my school wear shorts past their knees, which I dont really find gangster-ish, even my best guy friend wears shorts past his knees, and hes the last person that would ever act differently to fit in, but its not way past their knees, just barely. So I dont really see an issue with that, but I definitly agree with guys trying to act "gangster" just to be cool. Theres a few guys in my grade that are like that. They cuss just to look cool. They wear those huge chains around their necks. I could go on but it would make this a huge post.

And dont care about what they say when you say a girl is cute! I love it when guys use cute and beautiful instead of hott and sexy. Girls will go for you before they go for your friends. personally Id much rather be called pretty, cute or beautiful instead of being called hott or sexy, I duno, maybe thats just me.
