my cousin is a sweet girl of 12.
and.. brilliant for that matter.
her compo was acted out into a play on some kid's programme because it was so well-written.
so, the producers decided to do an interview with her on the programme.
she did not utter a single word about the programme to anyone at all.
the whole family was asleep that sat morning it was aired.
at 9am, she sat alone infront of the television watching it.
if it wasn't for my grandmother who chanced upon it while flipping channels and eating her laksa that saturday morning, absolutely noone but her would have known about it.
her mom: grace. why didn't u tell anyone about it? we could've recorded it. sweetheart, its something to be proud of. u should have told us.
grace: mom i didn't want to tell anyone because the interviewer said i look like the great white shark at the end. because i'm fair and i'm fat. -she mumbled the reason in a hurt small voice-
who the fuck do u think u are to comment on my cousin's size?
so what just because she might be abit bigger than children her age, she should be told on television that she looks like a great white shark.
girls of that age are vulnerable.
it doesn't help if u pass snide comments about her on tv ok.
seriously, ure a fucking adult, act like one for goodness sake.
be more sensitive.
she's going through puberty........
and we all know how at that age, everyone faces insecurities about their identities.
WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO?!
i'm so pissed off for her.
FUCKKKKKKKKKK.
arrrrrrgh.
i feel like crying can.
it doesn't really matter if she writes great compositions right?
it doesn't really matter if she's such a smart kid right?
it doesn't really matter if she speaks well and has a great character right?
it doesn't really matter that her mom just recovered from cancer just a month back and she washes her own clothes right?
it doesn't matter that she studies hard for her own sake without any help right?
it doesn't really matter that she lets my grandfater win at daidee so he doesn't have to shuffle the cards because his hands trembles when he shuffles right?
all that matters is the fucking fact that she's fat.
oh fuck.
i am crying.
i hate the world tonight.
the earlier post about good things.
fuck it.
