<title>Im still so mad</title>
<link>https://www.kidzsearch.com/questions/903508/im-still-so-mad</link>
<description>I wasn't gonna talk about it but everytime I think about it my blood boils so maybe talking would help&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So basically on Wednesday we were gonna watch a movie and we were gonna merge with another class (for no reason whatsoever)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And we're all sitting down waiting for the movie to start so in the meantime I'm quietly talking to my friends. And it isn't even a full on conver, its like a brief sentence and then going quiet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So the girl infront of me turns around maybe like 2 times telling me to be quiet... But there's like 10 other people talking on the other side?? And they're all the popular boys too, and it was the main noise source in the room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So I point this out to her and she's like &amp;quot;Okay, but I'm telling you to be quiet.&amp;quot; IS THIS NOT FAVOURITISM OR SOMETHING???&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
we keep going back and forth for like a while and she's like &amp;quot;you gotta problem with that?&amp;quot; And I'm like YES because you're targeting me rn when there's other people you can run your big mouth off to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So she's like do something about it and oh my gosh if I didn't have a phone to lose, I would have thrown a chair at her.. Im legit not even joking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then the boys are like &amp;quot;ooh she clocked your tea&amp;quot; shut up youre just happy you never get reprimanded bc everyone d-rides you&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This isn't even something that happened once, it happens SO MUCH. and its SO annoying that everyone goes out of their way to protect these boys (even my own parents did it)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of these days I'm going to lose my mind bro..</description>

<title>So, Islam.</title>
<link>https://www.kidzsearch.com/questions/809958/so-islam</link>
<description>So, this post is about Islam.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's a beautiful religion, and the Qur'an is beautiful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Honestly, I might convert someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Honestly, I have considered it, but it's kinda impossible for me right now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My brothers would surely mock me for believing in a god.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And since everyone in my house is an atheist, it'd be really hard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyways, Islam is an absolutely beautiful religion, and Muslims are really nice people.</description>

<title>IM STILL SO MAD ABT WHAT HAPPENED TODAY</title>
<link>https://www.kidzsearch.com/questions/809279/im-still-so-mad-abt-what-happened-today</link>
<description>okay so basically it was the end of the day and this dude who we can call Lina (it's a personal reference) said he would show me a pic of something I was asking Abt and then some random seventh grader was there (who wasn't even where she was supposed to be) and asked &amp;quot;is that your gf?&amp;quot; SHE DOES IT TO LITERALLY EVERYONE IT'S SO ANNOYING and I say &amp;quot;Ew, no!&amp;quot; bc that's all I need to say like it wasn't THAT deep and Lina basically said no and called me fat. the b word, a blackie, and ugly. Everyone started laughing (except my friend who was nearby, ofc)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
so I got mad, and when I get mad I can't think properly so I start hitting him and he runs and I lowk just chase him around campus. Then Lina stopped and hid behind my bb coach and I told him what Lina had called me and he just told ME to stop chasing him. I went back to my friend and the other two people who were there (his supposed &amp;quot;cousin&amp;quot; which Lina keeps claiming and the seventh grader) said &amp;quot;bro that was wrong you shouldn't have done that why did you do that?&amp;quot; Okay, I KNOW hitting people is wrong. And I KNOW my anger isn't an excuse for that, so I can agree that part of this is my fault. But they kept defending him as I got to the front gate and it was so annoying bc I js KNOW they would be laughing harder if he was hitting me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
it's been weighing on me since I got home I js wanted to tell someone. thoughts on the situation?</description>

&lt;p&gt;and also I just can't keep up with what's going on lately like idk&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I don't even have motivation to like answer or ask questions&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;life I guess, and school, and idk&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;but anyways this is sooo old but I still wanted to say two weeks ago was hoco week&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I wanted to show y'all my fits for dress up week, I lwk ate down on y2k day, ppl kept complimenting me&lt;img title=&quot;tongue&quot; alt=&quot;tongue&quot; src=&quot;https://www.kidzsearch.com/questions/qa-plugin/wysiwyg-editor/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/tongue-ej.jpg&quot; style=&quot;height:20px; width:20px&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;she finally arrived from Qatar&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;she had to chop her hair off because the heat and like climate there damages ur hair and she hates the short hair&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;also talking about that, my parents had to travel with her to somewhere in my state to do some paperwork(smth for my dad)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;and I was left alone, I closed up the dealer, and went home&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I was like bored, I watched TV and then the stupidest idea came&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I haven't been on ome tv in freaking ages&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Have my oc's diary with no context</title>
<link>https://www.kidzsearch.com/questions/808435/have-my-ocs-diary-with-no-context</link>
<description>AUG 13 1898: the witches said things like &amp;quot;HOW IS SHE DOING THIS&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;WE KNEW SHE HAD WINGS BUT WHAT IS THIS&amp;quot;! They were terrified of me... WELL whatever of course they were buuuuut, at the same time I need them to pay for what they did. They will never be forgiven, not by me at least. Why are the witches always so sure they have the right, they are so selfish and uh idk evil if that's the word. Well yk now thinking about it I wouldn't want to go to the banquet with White Lily, doesn't matter anyways cuz I still saw the witches doing smith similar to... eating cooki- I don't feel like writing that right now it sends fear down my spine. &lt;br /&gt;

<link>https://www.kidzsearch.com/questions/808038/so-did-you-had-a-family-member-that-had-cancer</link>
<description>

&lt;p&gt;You do not have to comment it below if it persoally ...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1. Yes&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;2. No&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So... I actually had a reason to quit this place like two months ago was because I heard the most heartbreaking news. My father is fighting starcoma cancer its one of the rare cancer its not aggressive but somewhat around there! But he had 5 chemo treatment and is doing so much better!! We are waiting on the big new... if him getting approve for surgery in Texas! Might get to go virtual mode and I get to go to Texas Mostly&amp;nbsp;to be there with him but a month away from my friends since..their not talking to me much anymore. so when the times come I will only tell certain friends and then leave the reason questiong themselves why im not at school for a month you might think that plain mean, but it my way of saying IF you're not talking to me much anymore then you don't get to know why I'm gone for month. Because they truly not my real friends. That is all I got to say! Be wild be you! Have a Pawsome Day! XD&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

<title>swifties, we need to talk abt tfop.</title>
<link>https://www.kidzsearch.com/questions/807468/swifties-we-need-to-talk-abt-tfop</link>
<description>

&lt;p&gt;im sorry im gonna ramble because i have so much to say. but i'll get straight into the point: IT DOESNT REPRESENT HAMLET WELL&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;AT ALL,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;and as a genuine member of the hamlet fandom, im VERY mad abt it &amp;gt;:(&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;lemme explain&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ophelia in the original play showcases the life women had in that time period; she didn't have any agency or her own beliefs because she was sheltered and controlled by the men in her life. Her whole life is revolved around her relationships with her father, brother and lover. Shakespeare intentionally wrote all the conversations Ophelia had with these men to be in a masogynistic and sexualizing manner, to show that she was never considered an equal and the oppressiveness women faced, especially in that time period. She was considered a pawn for the men and kings in their game of court politics and was meant to entirely obey them. In the play, she’s driven to madness after Hamlet rejects her and kills her father, and is clearly displayed as overwhelmed, with the only person who ever cared about her, her brother Laertus, in a frantic rivalry with her unrequited lover. She then commits suicide, and the guilt of Laertus having warned her about Hamlet having a different but equally heavy toll of its own.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Taylor interprets this as a one sided tragic love story where Ophelia dies heartbroken because of the rejection and betrayal from her loved one. Hence, by finding someone who loves her wholeheartedly and is committed to her, saves her from the fate of Ophelia where she might have drowned in sadness due to the failure of her past relationships.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But in the play, Ophelia's suicide represents her very first true decision made on her own. It's about reclaiming of her personal agency. The tragic demeanor of Ophelia’s death stems from the fact that outside forces were fully responsible for her suffering and she was powerless and voiceless to resist them. Even in death, her fate is reinterpreted by other people. Ophelia's suffering would have continued even if Hamlet or another guy married her because her true escape wasn't finding love, it was having her own autonomy and identity.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Taylor, a powerful billionaire, famously known for expressing her emotions through her music would have never suffered the same fate as Ophelia, a passive, oppressed woman stuck in the patriarchy with no personal agency. So Taylor trying to reframe herself as Ophelia, a damsel in distress, who's rescued by meeting a good man (Travis) is a reductive, and frankly stupid way to interpret the story. Ophelia's suffering came from the oppression of men, so another man could never be her salvation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It's very obvious that Taylor either didn't read Hamlet, understand any of the themes in the play, or use the correct reference for the Fate of Ophelia. It kind of seems like she might have wrote the song as love story first and then put Ophelia and Hamlet because it's Shakespeare and she wanted to give an operatic and folk-ish energy for the album. The song itself might have worked if she hadn't used Ophelia as the template and instead created her own character.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Lumineers, on the other hand, protrayed Ophelia in a perfectly respectable way. They used her as a metaphor to protray how they felt fame was suffocating them, which I feel is perfectly reasonable, even if they don't completely explain her role in Hamlet. And the Ophelia music video isn't meant to be bubblegum pop like Taylor's is. It's dreary, rainy, with an overwhelming aesthetic of loneliness: exactly how Ophelia would have liked to be represented, as I choose to believe. Not to mention the effort that Wesley Schultz put in that Taylor Swift did not. For instance, in an interview for the podcast Sound Exploder, he clearly states that he read and studied Hamlet because even though the song wasn't completely about the story because he felt it would've been wrong to not be loyal to at least a few of the themes of the play. Not to mention how mindful they were when it came to actually using the song title 'Ophelia', because the 60s' band, humorously named The Band also made a song called Ophelia and the Lumineers tried everything else they could to not use the name, but nothing else stuck. They&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Taylor Swift's effort into the heritage and history of Ophelia doesn't even slightly match the Lumineers'.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If she wanted to interpret Ophelia in a song, she could have used it to write about the oppression she might have faced from powerful men in the industry throughout her career. Having to go through massive cancellation in 2019 when it was the actions of Kanye West that led to her downfall. Or having to fight for the rights to her own albums due to the actions of powerful men in the industry, Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta who she trusted like a father. She could even write about her fans and the public, how it feels like they are controlling, judging and sheltering her every move, making her own life feel as though she has no agency to make her own decisions, or she could've sung about the effect that the fame had on her, like the Lumineers did. But noooooooooo she had to completely dismiss the themes of suffocation and remold the poetic, tragic love story into something that completely betrays it!!&lt;/p&gt;
