Fair Weather Fans

 People who follow a trend, or way of thinking. I call them opportunists, and band wagon groupees. In case you still don't understand., a fair weather fan is someone follows a trend. At the same time, they only follow trends that other people follow. I hate fair weather fans. They think that if everyone does something, than they have to do it too. For example, being gay. I'm not, but every girl in my neighborhood is. That sounds weird doesn't it? EVERY GIRL IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD IS GAY. excluding me, of course. Since when has it been popular to be gay? Wasn't not to long ago that the same girls used to tease and bully them? I may not be a gay person, but that's doesn't seen right to me being gay is a way of life (for those people) not some trend that you can be down for one minute, but against in the next. What happens if those people decide not to be gay, and they dump their "partners?" That's cruel, just because you don't feel that way doesn't mean you can play with someone else's emotions. Other trends are less severe than that one; wearing skinny jeans, jeggings, snap backs, and twerking. Eventually, we all know that they will fade away and Miley Cyrus is going to something else crazy. When I think about band wagoning, I imagine a cliché, or a group of people who like the same things, and oppose people who don't. When this girl at my school, lets call her peaches, dyed her hair purplish in the front, but blonde in the back; everyone thought that was cute. When another girl did something similar she got talked about SO BAD, and all of her friends talked about her. Can you find the wagon? I was completely objective when it happened. Ok, I kind of thought she copied the girl. Sigh. I know you guys have your own opinions, so I'm take the block off if this post. Comment what you want, and lets get a conversation started;)

  1. Ok so I can honestly say IDK who you're talking about within our school but still it's wrong and II understand your POV. If you want to be gay or bi you need to let your partner know you're only bi-curious or better yet not do it at all because it can really hurt whoever your partner is....

  2. I thought so too. I wasn't just talking about our school, but in general. So many girls I went to school with previously are now gay when they used to talk about them. The other think that being gay is a "cool" thing, and I flipped.

  3. This is true and i do agree on the girl part. At the end of my middle school many girls at my school did turned bi for some reason 2/3 of the girls went bi when before they were making fun and talking smack about the other truely LGBT people. I get it you might be curious and stuff but you shouldnt just be doing it just so you can be like others.
