Recently there has been a whole lot of bad stuff happening. And it's starting to annoy me.
Let's get one thing straight: We are all human and thus we are all equal. That is how it works. Everyone comes into the world in the same way and goes out in the same way. You start and end as equals. Why should that be any different in the middle? You are born, you live and then you die. And who is anyone to say that you are any less than someone else? You cannot just decide someone's life is worth less because of their race, or gender, or religion or sexual orientation. You are only human. No one has the right to determine the value of another persons life. It doesn't work like that.
Recently, while on Twitter I have seen some disgusting comments towards Muslims. Let me make a few things very clear:
1) Not all Muslims are terrorists.
2) Not all terrorists are Muslim.
3) You cannot say that all Muslims should be kicked out of the country because of a terrorist attack.
Now, while you are entitled to your opinion, I would like to say this: If you read those three points back, but replace the word Muslim with "black", see just how bad that sounds. Islamophobia is the new racism. And, if I recall correctly, racism is something that was horribly wrong and still is. The real question here is: Why do people deem it okay to discriminate towards Muslims? Any thoughts? And yes, there are some Muslim extremists out there. But, the actions of the few do not reflect the thoughts of the many. A lot of the Muslims living in England were born in England and have just as much right to be here as anyone. So, before history starts to repeat itself with Muslims instead of blacks, can we please take a moment to realise that this is ridiculous and needs to stop?

The Meltdown
So, today, I was in the library at sixth form, attempting some media work. It wasn't going well. People were talking about things. Things like a-levels, work and the future. And I started thinking. Which is where it all went wrong.
I started to think about how I am getting the lowest grades in my classes. I'm getting Bs and Cs, but everyone else is getting As, which makes me feel like I'm not good enough to be in the class. Which I didn't need help with. Recently, I did a practical drama exam and I thought I'd done pretty well. I thought I had done just as well as the rest of the people in my group. I was wrong. I got a B while everyone else got nearly 100%. I know that getting a B isn't bad, in fact, it's pretty good, but when I was the lowest grade in the class, it makes me feel pretty useless and rubbish. So, that's the drama part of the problem. Along with struggling with the media work, I am behind on psychology and don't understand what I'm doing in English language. Basically, I'm really struggling with my a-levels. This is my second attempt at them, having really messed up last year. I thought this year was going well until recently.
So, onto the work part. Basically, I've not been working nearly enough hours to earn anything. This isn't through choice. It's just that there has been nothing happening and I've been sent home after about an hour every night I've worked. I'm worried about not having any money, because I've got a car to run and I can't do that without money. Plus, I need things for sixth form and sometimes I just want to be able to go out with friends. More things I can't do without money. This also leads on to the next paragraph:
The future is a scary thing. I don't know what it holds. But, with what I've said previously, I feel like I'm probably going to have problems in the future. If I can't get the grades I need to get into university, I won't be able to get into the job I want. Which means I won't be able to support my family in future. I don't want to be in a position where I cannot support my family. I don't want to be in the same dead end job, struggling to support my family. While people at sixth form were joking about this today, I started to get worried about not being good enough for the family I will hopefully have in the future.
This is where I started to have my meltdown. I was thinking about this all far too much and started to get panicked and got more and more stressed. And then I stopped being able to function properly. I hated every moment of it. I had to go outside for a walk to try and calm down, but it had messed me up for the whole day. I couldn't focus on anything. I went home early and just had real problems with anything. And now I am writing this, reliving it again. I felt like I needed to write it somewhere and hopefully this will help.
The end.
