AkutatsuClan's Journal

Not literally... My maturity level is so much higher than those around me that I can hang out with 30 year olds, and 60 year olds and understand everything they talk about. I understand, I know what they mean, and I have fun talking like that. But when I go to school, no one understands me. Not even my teachers. I've had a few of them tell me that, "You're just fourteen what could you know?" or "You're only in 8th grade, you can't understand this." Not even my parents listen to me, when I really know what I'm talking about. I know it's common for teenagers to say that 'no one understands me oh woe is me' but seriously. I'll write a story in English and the only person that can follow my logic is the teacher. It's absolutely ridiculous. People make fun of me because I'm not 'cool'. It's like when someone first drinks coffee. It seems really cool at the time, like you're so awesome because you can sip really hot coffee with no sugar, or cream, and then after awhile of drinking coffee you realize: 'Whoa... Man I'm tired but I can't sleep. Maybe coffee isn't that cool' I'll be sitting in class discussing something really advanced with my science teacher, and all the others kids are like, "What are you talking about?" "I don't understand!" I mean.. Are people really that stupid? After awhile I realized that - no they're not stupid - I'm just really mature. I have countless kids tell me that, "Wow you're really smart." They think big words consist of (well consist is one of them), comprehend, elaborate, etc. Words that 13 year olds don't use in their vocabulary. At one point in time I asked some kids in my Advanced Orchestra class, "Hey if you were to see a flower, what would you think about it?" So I'm asking you, 'If you saw a flower, just an ordinary flower, while you were walking somewhere, what would you think of it?' ..... A lot of the responses I got were, "I dunno, if it was pretty I would give it to my girlfriend." or "I guess I would say it was pretty, or it looked cool." Then the other response I got was, "It was a nice flower, and I would be friends with it." I asked so many people, but those were the only type of responses I got. I was looking for something like, "I would appreciate it... because even something so small is worth looking at." Like the saying goes, 'Appreciate the little things in life' It might be a hummingbird, or a tree, or maybe even a flower. But no one I asked would appreciate it just because it's there. Most people that I go to school with everyday only worry about whether their shirt matches with their pants, or if that boy is cute or not. They don't realize that it won't matter in years to come. That their shirt is just something to cover themselves not their life. For some reason - it really bothers me that they don't realize it.
