Dear justgirlythings.tumblr.com,

Dear justgirlythings.tumblr.com,



I am a girl from Ohio, and I'm not amused


There is nothing glamorous about being jealous of your best friend

or being self conscious of your jean size


I do not want a boy to buy me a ring from tiffany & co.

I would gladly give it back immediately


Not everyone likes 'being artsy in your free time'

I see a boy everyday and wish he was mine, but he's too busy with the girls that look at your blog on a normal basis

The dress I wear on my "night out" is jeans, a tee shirt, and sneakers


Posting hip bands and T.V. shows to make you popular is a terrible thing to do


Your blurry pictures with a caption of something everyone does, doesn't impress me


I don't have a thigh gap

I don't want one


How dare you make something as ugly as an eating disorder seem beautifully tragic

How dare you open young girls to these things and let it seem okay

How dare you post a girl whose collar bone pops out with a caption of "Love Yourslef"


Your blog makes me sick

Going through it to write this poem and seeing some of the things made me embarrassed to be a girl

It made me even more embarrassed when I liked one


To make a blog called 'justgirlythings' and post pictures that make girls depressed is not okay

Yes I want a cute boy to kiss me on my head,

and tell me I'm pretty,

but I'm a poet who sits in her room at three a.m.

and cries when she thinks of the people that have died because they were too ashamed to 'be their self'


So keep posting pictures as long as you like

and don't change what you're doing because of me

But next time you tell a girl "Be positive in tough times"

See yourself there and think again


Sincerely, A Girl From Ohio who is not amused
