THE STRUGGLE OF BEING A TEEN READER

 

 

                      

  

When it comes to reading people assume that only the stereotypical nerd do it but the truth is that they got it all wrong.

If I was in a stereotype I would probably be the shy one (if there is one like that) yet I know I don't fit in into any type of category because I am divergent.

and most "nerds" don't like to read, I know this guy who is an A average student yet they despise reading to a molecular level. Me, being an A and B average student adore reading so much that if I die while reading a book my life will be complete. So to get this straight you do not have to be a nerd to enjoy the magic of words on paper.

Now that that is out of the way lets get into this!

#1  The famous yet intolerable question that I dread:

 "Why do you read?"

                                                    

  The first thought that always comes up is:

 

 "So I don't ask stupid questions like you seaweed brain!"

 

But of course I don't say that because I am clearly shy. So instead I just want to say:

 

"Why do you breath?"

 

But that is very rude. so later I just end up saying something like:

 

"Because it allows me to travel to a million places while being in my bedroom or the couch."

 

Yet every time I say something like that people give a look that could kill crazy people or something.

                  #2 Staying home on a Friday night

while the whole school is out.

               
                                                        

I tend to stay home as frequent as possible because the only thing I enjoy more than eating nutella on a Friday night while watching Netflix is eating nutella on a Friday night while reading a good book.

 

#3 Needing to buy the next book on a series

 but you can't because you're broke.

                                                       

I know every teen has gone through this at least once in their life! So don't lie!

 

I suffer from this every day of my life, then I have to desperately earn the money to buy the book. I've searched everywhere yet it seems like no one hires unexperienced teens to work for them. (I wonder why?!). So I end up earning it the hard way, by cleaning the house.

 

 

 

#4 Mourning over a fictional character

 

 

Whenever a fictional character that I love dies, I instantly go into this shell where I look sad as if a family member died because it does feel like that. It feels like something important to you was ripped from your soul without anesthesia.



Yet whenever someone asks me why I look so sad and I tell them the truth they take small steps away from me as if I will rip their eyeballs out yet in a way I guess I do get a glint of madness.

 So if anyone is in need for me to explain why I don't interact with muggles then I hope this is enough.

Maybe I do need to go to a asylum.

#5 Being told that you read too much

 

 

 

Whenever someone has the audacity of telling me that I read too much another string holding my sanity together snaps. That is like asking someone if they like to breath. Of course they do! If they don't, how do they survive life. Moments like that make me want to just move across the world, buy a library and cuddle up with books. Am I the only one who is willing to do so?

 

                                                                                                                                                                     

 

I've gone through every one of this to a point where it annoys me, which will always leave wondering why this planet is full of illiterate pansycakes.

 

 

This is different from what I usually do, I hope you enjoyed it
