So break me down if it makes you feel right

It is, as a general rule. It's no one's fault but your own if you don't realize that She-Who-Glows.

From:

Back home, the worst I have to worry about is over aggressive paparazzi. Here I have to worry about entire cities being destroyed and being sent into danger to stop it. They teach violence as a solution to problems. Whatever. Maybe if they didn't dress up like freaks people would stop attacking them and us.

From:

I'm sure people who hate mutants are entirely located in New York state. No one in California wants mutants dead. There they're only against gay people marrying, right? Because they are so accepting of different people. Glowing and posing for cameras does nothing to make you a very, very easy target if someone wanted you dead on account of you glowing, which no human should be able to do according to them. Though here they'd have to go through a lot of security and a lot of people willing to be seriously injured to stop anyone if they wanted to kill the mutie daughter of those actors.

If I ever see you use the word "freak" in regards to the people who were attacked again you better hope you are very, very observant because I really don't care if you're a girl, or who your parents are. Have some more respect for people who are probably dead through no doing of their own.

From:

You don't know anything about me or my life. Stop pretending you have any idea.

You think I'm trying to bad mouth people who are dead? You think I'm blaming them? Bite me. They didn't deserve it. They should have been kept safe too and they weren't. Mr Kane should have known how to protect himself and he couldn't. So what the hell are the rest of us supposed to do?

You know what? Never mind. I don't care what you think. You can threaten me all you want.

From:

Who cares about your life? You whine all the time on the journals. Wah, I'm not safe. Wah, they can't protect me. Wah, my parents don't want me around so they ship me off. Get over it and deal already. We're all sick of hearing about it already.

You called them freaks, didn't you? If they didn't dress like freaks maybe people would stop attacking them? Do you read the stuff you type? Four people who all looked normal except for Jay who had wings. They all dressed normally. They were in a car driving and they got attacked! Apocalypse didn't attack New York because the humans dressed like freaks and that's why he decided to start trying to kill them. Where is your example of anyone dressing like a freak and getting attacked first?

You're such an idiot.

From:

Black leather, big jet? Any of this ringing bells?

From:

Wow, you're really brilliant. People aren't generally attacking them first. Of course, maybe you can't see past all that rainbow glow to what is actually going on around you.

From:

Whatever.

Perhaps if the Professor was talking to your parents, he would send you home. He is not the unreasonable man and he is not wanting the mansion to be the jail.

And I am glad that you are safe when you are home. It is the luxury not everyone is having. We have to be thinking about the safety all the time. And not just for us.

Jay and Miss Dani and Mr. Kane were not freaks.

From:

Yeah, cuz that's totally what I said. I'm just that big of a bitch that I'd blame the dead people. You're completely stupid.

From:

Don't call Yvette stupid. Ever.

From:

Yeah, threaten the pacifist. That'll be a tough fight.

From:

You call Yvette stupid for correctly interpreting something you said, as explained in layman's terms by Laurie below, and you think I care if it's a fair fight? Yvette is one of the sweetest people in this mansion. She always tries to be positive, she always tries to help people and you are bashing on people who were attacked who are her friends. People who have helped her. She's been through more than you likely know and she's a stronger person than you've shown any indication of being so lay the fuck off her because of something you said.

From:

Both Dani and Garrison were 'people who dressed up like freaks' as you so charmingly put it. And considering you just said (and I quote) 'Maybe if they didn't dress up like freaks people would stop attacking them and us.' I wouldn't consider it stupid for her to have thought you were blaming the people who are missing for the attack.

I think you as much as Manuel may need a crash course on how to speak to people. I'll give you a hint, since you don't seem to be getting it. Insulting people always makes them quit listening to what you're saying.

From:

Or maybe I need to just stop trying to talk to people who hate me anyway.

From:

*face palm* Karolina, we don't have you. We sometimes think you need to think before you say things but that's not hate. That's just exasperation.

Maybe that's the problem? You automatically assume that someone who has a negative reaction to what you say is going to be negative toward you everywhere.

Stop doing that, it's counter-productive and it'll just make you even more unhappy. We can disagree on things and still agree on others you know.

"You automatically assume that someone who has a negative reaction to what you say is going to be negative toward you everywhere. "

Pot. Kettle.

From:

Kyle, explain to me how this helps?

From:

And while you're at it, maybe you can explain to me why you're perfectly fine replying to me randomly out of the blue but then when I try to engage you in a conversation you just disappear.

Would you just be consistent already?

Dani's not on the team. Never has been.

From:

Huh, for some reason I thought she was. I am having no brain moments lately. I blame this persistant flu. :)

Please do _not_ lump me in to this. I have a different direction I was taking.

From:

It's okay, Yvette. This is your home now, right? At least as much as we can make it one. And no, none of the people who were taken are freaks. I think that she's trying to distance herself from us by saying things like that. Makes her more able to say we're a them and she's an us. It's pretty obvious behaviour.

You can't run away forever. Eventually you've got to stand and face exactly what it means to have an X-factor. Not everyone is going to be content to just spew insults. Until the world itself is a better place, sometimes you have to fight violence with violence. Everyone here tries to use only the minimum amount needed to protect ourselves.

That's all you can do.

That is what I am wanting to do. When I am turning 17.
