Poems:
"Labels and sexual orientation really dont seem like much
'Gay!', 'Les!', 'Trani!' and 'Slut!', they are just random names that people dont think much of
all these are the labels that put us down.
They really just make you look like a mother fucking clown.
When people die and people are depressed just realize the reason of this stress.
So shut up with turning the fucking tables
and add myspace.com/ditchthelables"

"I am not lesbian, bisexual or gay.
I should not be judged for dressing a different way.
I am not fat, and I am not thin,
I should not be judged because of the colour of my skin.
I am not abormal just different you see,
I am just unique, I am myself, I am me."

"I almost forgot someone
A very close friend of mine
I wish I still knew her now
But now...is a different time.
She was a very amazing friend.
She made me laugh and smile.
It seemed like we were always together..
At least, every once in a while.
I met her at a beautiful park
With mother and father one day
My parents quickly rushed over to me,
"Lets Go!" And pushed her away.
I tried to go back to the park
And tell her to meet me there.
Just to play around in the sand
Or play with each others hair.
I never understood why
My parents didnt like her.
Maybe because she was taller than me?
And could reachs things that were a bit higher?
Many years pasted and I grew up.
I finally knew what it was all along.
She was black...And I was white...
And our friendship... was "wrong"."

Calling somebody fat wont make you any skinnier.
Calling somebody Ugly wont make you any prettier.
Calling somebody a nerd wont make you any cooler.
And making somebody else's Life miserable
Defantly wont make you any happier.

I'm staring out into society with a tear on my face
Everyone, with big red letters, lables written in an easilly spotted place
Gay, Straight, Bi, Skinny, Fat, and more
Everything from Emo to Prep, Virgin to whore
I rub my eyes just to see if I am really seeing all this
Nothing happens, nothing changes this entire mess
Everyone is stuck with these lables on themselves
I try to see what is on me, refusing to believe I am trapped like everyone else
I run up to my house and slowly step inside
When I catch the hallway mirror out of the corner of my eye
There is nothing on my forhead, neck, or cheek
No red letters on me, I'm not labeled, so to speak
Nothing to define my being, what you see
I cannot be defined by any word... but me.

emo is just a stereotype
goth is not a way of life
to be judged on the way you dress
all a social suicide mess
dry spilled blood with misused names
say wrong words
it happens again
open your mouth
let it all out
make another big mistake
make another a**holes day
speak the words kind people dont
mislead words and watch i wont
anger and pain
brought from names
stereotyped choices
made in life
see suicidal bodies
you might think twice
dress the way you really want
leave them be
do not taunt
die your hair
and paint your nails
not everybody goes to hell
its one's choice
dont you see
they do not make it
for you and me
one fake smile
brightened miles
god only knew
the suffering child
deep withing
a torn beating heart
ripped apart
just one persons
hateful ways
made one heart bleed
for endless days
the way words have an effect on us
is like a carosene douced bus
lit a fire
burn it up
burn the drugs
laugh it up
take the drugs that take the pain
when the drugs leave us
its back again
a vicious cycle
one pain filled child
the small misused word
at hand
the heart the body the soul the chance
that chance that could have been taken
to change the world,this land
the time that one small child cried
the tears add up
compare the ocean as small in size
make a difference
dont use names
stereotyped and filled with shame
that childs birthname
use it right
save the breath
and save a life

Stories:
"Growing up, I found it difficult to put a label onto my sexuality; like one week I was crazy about girls and the next I was crazy about boys, it was a weird time and really hard because at the same time I had bullies taunting me by constantly calling me gay and other pathetic names. At the time, I thought it was me with the problem but now looking back, it's blatant that it was them.
So 5 years of high school contributed largely towards my denial of the subject; I would sit and cry and constantly wish I was straight but thankfully the wishes didn't come true. I remember a friend of mine telling me that God had made her 'straight' and then asking me if I wanted to be 'straight' too and I guess this was when I first began to feel proud of who I was; I said no.
After leaving school and starting college, I began to mix with a large scale of different personalities; EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT! College is mature and people are accepted for who they are and I think this is amazing; it's like the light at the end of the tunnel. Anyway, moving more to the point... Sexuality - why is it such a big deal? I hate how it has to be labelled; if you label your sexuality, it's like you're forced to match the stereotypes associated with it, and obliviously, there's the case of homophobia - this is the lowest of the low, I think we're all scared of things that we don't understand and these people seriously need educating.
If you're feeling how I felt, please stay strong - fight for who you really are and NEVER give in to the jealous, uneducated bullies."

"Yes, I'm bi. But im still a person. When friends avoid looking at me b/c of it, or when i literally get into fist fights iver it it makes me understand what this world is comming to. Acceptance and understanding my ass.
Love and Diversity need to be embraced, if they aren't only chaos will ensue.
We need to be unique not conformists who hide our true selves

BTW i love what ur doing."

"Well, I've had a hard live and went into depression when I was 8 years old.. I found people labeling even worse. It was all like " ehh my world knows me now.. " but that isnt true... You can be " depressed " and be happy... But seriously why label :) I love what you guys are doing :D && when my friend said add this site I was all like ehh why... But now that i think of it I like it because it makes me feel like myself and not about what im " labeled " at school or at home... Keep up the hard work!"
