"Don't take to heart what they are saying. Let them think whatever they want to think about you. Know yourself and don't be affected by others' opinions because we can't change people or circumstances butwe can change our attitude towards them."

I have always been that kind of person who always believes others' opinions. People used to comment on my way of doing things. They used to judge almost everything that I did. And I always believed themand tried my best to fulfill their expectations but with no success. Then came a point where I realized that none can know me better than me. What really matters is the opinion that I have about myself.From that day forward, my life has changed. Now I listen to my inner self and I don't care about people's opinion. So, don't let other people take control of your life.
"Hey, girls, you're beautiful. Don't look at those stupid magazines with stick like models. Eat healthy and exercise. That's all. Don't let anyone tell you you're not good enough. You're good enough,you are too good. Love your family with all your heart and listen to it. You are gorgeous, whether you're a size 4 or 14. It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside, as long as you're a good person,as long as you respect others. I know it's been told hundreds of times before, but it's true. Hey, girls, you are beautiful."

I chose this quote my Gerard Way as it's an inspiration to teenage girls everywhere. Nowadays, the media is mostly responsible for all the self-esteem issues young girls go through. Gerard Way is teachingus that if you're beautiful on the inside, then you're also beautiful on the outside and that you shouldn't listen to those media parasites.

"I learned that sometimes people aren't going to trust you and it may be for no reason at all. Sometimes people will just judge you on what they think you'll do, on who they think you are, and there'sreally nothing you can do about it. But just remember one thing: they're not cheating you, they're cheating themselves."

I've been through some pretty dramatic things in life. I had my whole school hate me, which sucked. All my "bffs" turned on me and I was left to cry in the dark.
