'Give me what I want'

Yup , second Kids in Glass Houses lyrics as my title.
I won't be making a blog tomorrow as I'm out to meet my friend and then off to a party (: Not that anyone really reads this but y'know, thought I'd write it down for my own reference. This is sort of like the diary I never kept.
But I just got to thinking, everything in this world is based around material possessions. If you don't have any, people look down on you as if you're worth nothing. If you have too many then people think that you're some sort of god. But in the end material possessions don't get you anywhere. Sure, you can live a nice life with lots of expensive champaign and expensive lobster, but you can't take that money with you. At the end of the day you're the same as everyone else, and we shouldn't be judged for what we do or don't have. All that matters in life is that you love and are loved, as long as you have family and friends then you'll be able to survive anything.
Special shout out to my bestfriend in the world- Samantha. Wouldn't be where I am now if it wasn't for her, and we've only known each other for a little over a year and we know everything about one another. Also wouldn't be who I was if it wasn't for my mum- I thank you for making me the caring and loving person I am today.

Consider yourself one of my bestfriends, Consider yourself one of my enemies♪

That song makes so much sense to me right now. It pretty much describes how my life is going. And it's kind of true don't you think? When somebodies so close to you that they know everything about you, it just takes one whisper to bring your whole world crushing down around you. Of course, I hope that my bestfriends would never do that to me and vise versa.
So, the holidays are coming to a close and it's almost time to go back to school. I have my only party of the holidays tomorrow; never have been an 'alcoholic' like some of my friends, lol. I had my college interview, and got in. So that's another bonus. Not it's time to sort everything out in my life, for better or for worse. So yeah, not a very long blog but I was being hassled by Jack to make one so I thought I'd quickly type down some stuff (:
Until tomorrow.
Love,
Tyler.

Prejudice.

Me and my mum had a conversation this morning about prejudice and how it could easily be stopped. If schools introduced children to controversial issues at a young age, wouldn't it solve all the problems with parents raising their children with their own prejudice. If children understood these things maybe they'd be less against them. Let's take Homosexuality for example. I don't think it's ever been mentioned in school, both primary and secondary. Luckily I've grown up around it, with a mum, a sister, and 3 best-friends that are lesbians I think I'm pretty accepting. But that's because my mum raised me to respect everyone, regardless of ethnicity, religion, background, sexuality etc. If children are being raised in a home where the parents have a prejudice against one of these things, then it's bound to have some sort of impact on the child.
This is why I think that education fails. Sure they teach us to count, to read and write, to do some basic scientific stuff, but in the end is that really what we need? We as people need to respect everyone and accept them for who they are. When it all boils down to it, we are ALL human.
