Young Writers Society

Alright, my favourite subject... Me!

I'm an odd-ball at my school. An outcast. A reject. You all know the type. The one that sits either alone at lunch or sits with all the other rejects. Rejects tend to be smart, quirky, they wear odd clothing and they rarely have "cool" friends.

I remember when I was little, and everyone was everyone's friends. We all played together, we all worked together, and we all knew each other. But when we all hit puberty together, we all broke into our own little groups. All the cool, rich, mean, girls together. All the sports playing, rich, boys together. All the nerds and geeks together. All the jock girls together. Etc, etc, etc. I didn't fit in with anyone. I was middle class and I definitely didn't (and still don't) enjoy picking on other girls for self-gain. I wasn't a jock, god help me in sports. I didn't have an inhaler nor could I stand talking about school all my life.

I was left out of everything; until Nick moved to my school. He didn't fit in with anyone else either. He wasn't rich, he didn't play sports, he wasn't extremely smart, so we hung out together. After talking with him for a while, I found out he was a writer.

And that's what I am now, too.

I've learned that being a reject isn't the worst thing around. You don't have to worry about stupid little things like everyone else did. All my worries were whether or not to kill of a character or finding a good title for my last poem. And most of my problems could be fixed with the help of my "reject" friends, who were all authors in the making too.

Most of them were much better than me, but I didn't mind. They helped me grow, and they still are. I may not be the best writer around, but I am learning and trying my best.

So, three cheers for the rejects!... Err, I mean, the authors!

That's me too. We can be rejects together.

I felt like there were a lot of benefits of being a reject - one of the biggest ones was that the few friends I did have in school have stuck with me through the thick and thin. There were only a couple but they were the real thing. Sounds like you're pretty lucky that way too, huh? They love ya for who you are.

I completly agree. Too bad the rejects can't overpower the rest of the people; that'd be awesome.

I totally agree with you guys about the whole reject thing. In my opinion though, ti's more fun once you hit puberty and everybody's not friends. I don't know, it just adds and edge. But that's probably just me.

One question: Patience isn't what?

patience isn't a virtue. My parents always told me that patience is a virtue, so I always said back that it wasn't. Now, it's just my username for a whole bunch of places.

Reject club!!
*parties*

hey patience! you are so not a reject! you fit in perfectly with all of us!

let's have a reject party!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!

It's a shame so many people on this site *okay so 8* veiw them selves as rejects if you have friend your not a reject your just not poupular *not meant to sound harch* and who's Nick are you two going out or is he gay or is it just a friendship thing * tell the truth*

LOL reject party xD

It's just people can't see how much there really is to us
This place makes me feel better because I'm among writers, people I identify with and feel a passion (strong word, but it's true) for writing, just like I do. In YWS you feel like you're among friends.

To be entirely honest, I'm not sure if I should count myself as a "reject" or not. The way my school is set up, it's not so much in the standard hierarchy. We mingle. There are people who go about in their American Eagle gear and they still enjoy talking with me, and I them sometimes. I've got a few friends that might be classified as "popular," but that line has blurred so much that no one gives much of a hoot anymore. (:

At my school, you're whoever you are. Right now, I'm the girl with the bright red hair, the one that is smart and quirky and pays little attention in class yet still manages to do the best. People've called me funny and a good writer.

I dunno. xD Maybe I'm just a mystified reject.

But I must say, Pati (that's what I'll call ya now, if you don't mind ), I'm insanely jealous that you have writer friends. As awesome as some of my fellow classmates can be at times, hardly any of them write for fun. The ones that do are still stuck in the realm of squealing and shouting loudly at lunch and writing exclusively Naruto fan fiction. :S They're really not the sort of people I'd enjoy spending a whole lot of time with.

I just moved but in my old school I wasn't a reject in my old school I was just weird but I had friends they were really nice. I had at least uh five at the most. My two best friends didn't go two my school one of them lived really close but didn't go to our school the other one lived far farther away, I only saw either of them about once a year. Anyway then I moved and suddenly I was the freak, I had always read more than was health, sang songs everywhere and did weird dances along with it but at this school I was the freak the weird girl who like books. People made fun of people who where generally nice to me and called him boyfriend ( I felt sorry for him he was nice and they kept calling me his girlfriend which is embarrassing since I'm the reject) One even went so far as to call me the b word which I do not appreciate. Anyway I had it rough so then I went and got home schooled so now I'm no reject because Its only me and my sis. Anyway I love being the weird one. I'm now friends with other homeschoolers and I'm no longer rejected. But I'll always be the weird one. Anyway I know the feeling. Boring you to death so I'll shut up now.

I'm a reject and proud of it.......If it weren't for us the world would be..To plain!

hm mm, I'm not really a reject, I have 5-8 friends who sit with me at lunch... 2 in my class, 3 in another... etc.
I'm known in my year as: The girl who writes 14 pages when you are only supposed to be a paragraph, or, as my nickname last year: The MACHINE!
Basically, if I get a Merit (B or below for you guys in America) the whole school starts talking... I actually got a (10 minute) detention, in English because I was talking... LOL... 4h form English! I'd learn more from reading a kids book... actually, I might... *Brings out old copy of 'the hungry caterpillar'*

Anyways... WRITERS CANNOT BE REJECTS!
-You can create a whole lot of friends that will stick with you until the apocalypse... 2012, here I come!
