FEELINGS

I want to say no to the harsh rules imposed on girls for the following reasons. As a daughter, I should manage many things such as house hold choses, taking care of my house, behaving well at school and so on. It is hard to manage them I think being a boy is lot more fun. People makes rules like they are rulers of my life.

The rules for daughters:

1. don’t laugh out loud
2. wear traditional dresses
3. do house chores
4. wake up at 4 O’clock
5. limit the intake of food
6. be quiet forever, and blah blah blah…

Why don’t they give me some I need a break? I need them to stop bossing me. People rule my life in their dreams [maybe]. I badly need a full stop to this. If I find whoever invented rules for daughters, I’ll make his nightmare come true. These rules give me a headache

Now my dream is to be a tomboy. They are super cool and stay away from people. They fight with the authority. They have super cool hair styles like wolf cut, pixie cut, bob cut …

In future I will leave this planet forever and go to a tomboy planet. I would go there right now but there is no money in my pocket.

Now, let’s talk about food I am extremely addicted to. But these people don’t let me eat my own food. If I eat a lot of food, they call me fat. If I eat less food, they call me skinny. What should I do then? It is so annoying!

If I want to be a western dancer, they ask me to be a classical dancer. If I want to be a classical dancer they wouldn’t agree. What should I do? Now I want to be a murderer.

Yeah, being a daughter is nice and good in some ways. These rules don’t exist in every place, but only in some immature or backward societies. Please don’t judge anyone.

The rules students usually follow:

• Schools from 8:30 to 6 O’clock
• uniform
• beauty standards like no big forehead,
• light skin colour
• no dark spots
• sweet voice
• big eyes
• perfect body and blah blah blah

I would like to change timings to 9:30 – 1:30. It is nice because we can take up part-time jobs or have fun time with friends. Moreover, get some good sleep.
