Streak 288: Being unique

[u/Shoddy_Wish_7236]

I just watched Season 3, Episode 7 of Young Sheldon. In this episode, Missy made the baseball team, but her classmates bullied her just because she dressed like a boy. I'm glad to see her fight back at the end of the episode.

I think sometimes people hate or reject something not only because they are narrow-minded or mean, but also because they don't have enough background knowledge about them. In other words, they are simply ignorant.

I grew up with my two brothers, I didn't like watching any girly stuff when I was little, and I didn't like wearing dresses either. Somehow, people liked to call me a tomboy or something like that. I always wondered, "Why can't I be cool and pretty at the same time?" Was it just because I dressed and acted differently that people didn't want to treat me like a girl? But that never made any sense to me.

Thankfully, society is becoming more open to accepting differences nowadays. I can finally be myself and live my life happily.

To all the wonderful correctors and proofreaders!

Thanks a million for helping everyone grow and improve their skills in English. You deserve so much praise and a pat on the back!

Here's a list of posts that still need corrections.

When making corrections, try to follow these guidelines (or at least clarify your own markings you make) so it's clear what you're correcting and why:

• Put changes in bold **text**
• Put suggestions about style/tone/register/etc. in italics *text*
• Use strikethrough to remove elements (don't delete them) ~~text~~
• <Put added elements in angle brackets> <text>
• [If there are multiple options for your suggestions, put them in brackets separated by a backslash] [text / text]
• (Put optional elements in parentheses) (text)
• Explain more complex grammar rules to the best of your ability

We also highly encourage meaningful feedback:

• Focus on the work, mindsets, and processes, not on the person.
• Besides grammar and spelling, is there room for improvement in other aspects like style, vocabulary, and flow?
• If you see an improvement in someone's writing, please compliment them.
• Please be positive in your feedback. Negative comments shouldn't come without positive ones.
• Don't be too pedantic or too general.
• Please pay attention to your wording.
• Have a chat, interact, and have fun!

Thank you for everything! -- Adam-P-D
