Not the typical teen

The world looks down upon the teenagers of this day and time.
They forget that we're all different. They probably figure we all fall in the same peer pressure.
I'm not typical and I don't want to be. Here's some reasons of how I'm a bit different than the average person.
Number one: I'm homeschooled. I finish my school as quickly as possible in the morning so I can draw and work on the things I love doing. (And yes for Pete's sake..I socialize!)
Number two: I hardly ever have my cell phone with me. Only if i feel like texting someone- which is rare in itself.
Number three: I'm a regular thrift shop shopper. That's where i get most of my clothes. I make up my very own outfits. I've never bought anything out of hollister or all the top name brand stores. It's so sad how people feel they have to buy from there. It's so expensive and not worth it. Overrated might be the word.
Number four: I'm a Christian. It doesn't mean I'm a saint. It means I've fallen to my knees at the feet of God saying I am not worthy. I'm broken and crushed. I cannot stand on my own. By saying I'm a Christian I'm saying I can't go on my journey of life alone and that i believe in Christ as my savior.
Number five: I'm 14. I've never been seen as my actual age. For example I'm in eighth grade and people think I'm 16. I've been told I just act so much more mature.
Number six: I'm a mixture of loving new and old fashion.
I love books. And I am never going to turn to those e-readers. It takes all the fun out of it.
I love letters in the mail. I mean seriously. What happened to that?!?
I'm so in love with the new fashion. Can't wait until I'm older so I can wear some of the stuff I see on blogging sites.
Number seven: I love being outside. There's so much room to think out there.
You may not get what I'm saying here..
Have you gone to the kid's toy section lately? I have :P I've gone with my older sister and we've been disgusted by these new toys. I'm not sure if you've seen this or not but there's a tea pot and when you tip it over it makes a pouring water sound. At first Britney and I thought it was so cool. Then we got talking about it. And Anne of Green Gables came to mind. She hated and loved being at her friend's grandmothers house because it was so fancy but there wasn't room for imagination.
I feel so bad for the children that have to grow up in this day and age. They're leaving absolutely no room for the imagination for these children in the toys.
