the video up there is literally so true, and people actually need to see it.

13. THE ROMANTICIZATION OF OFFENSIVE THINGS

I FEEL LIKE THIS SUBJECT is a pretty touchy one, and of course opinions differ, but I've seen this happen far too many times on Wattpad and it's so annoying and stupid and I discuss stupid things in this book so lets go.

For me to catch my chill, I'm going to need people to stop taking really serious problems (bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, eating disorders, depression, etc) lightly.

"Mackenzie, things like eating disorders and depression don't really count as a mental illness-" Not to be nice or anything, but please shut the hell up thanks you sound like a fuckinG IDIOT.

Mental illness is not a joke.

Mental illness is not this cool trend.

Mental illness is not beautiful.

When I grow up(well technically I'm grown so lol), I want to be a psychiatrist, so I am a psychology major. I want to feel as if instead of promoting the glorification more, I'm consistently helping people get the medical attention they need and preventing mental illnesses (WELL NOT PREVENTING THEM BUT I COULDNT FIND A BETTER WORD). That's why I feel like the romanticization of MI MUST BE STOPPED (ricegum moment).

Now, I know you may be thinking, "SENPAI, WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO ROMANTICIZE MENTAL ILLNESSES?!?!?" A bitch is about to tell ya ahaHA. Dat bitch is me.

To put it in Patrick Star/Spongebob terms, it's kind of like the girls that say "OMG MY BF IS SO BIPOLAR LIKE HE IS MAD ONE MINUTE AND HE'S HAPPY THE NEXT LOL SO CUTE". Romanticizing mental illness is basically creating a "fanciful or glamorous portrayal of mental illness", which is kind of downplaying it and trying to make it seem like it's "cool" or "fun". It's fucking not.

I can honestly admit that I used to be one of the kids who thought that it was "interesting" and wanted to know what it felt like to be schizophrenic, or what it felt like to have dementia. But, I quickly understood at a young age that things like that are not freaking games that you can turn off and turn on when it gets to stressful okay.

I mean, people have to be REHABILITATED for these things! Some people go through years and years of depression and rehabilitation, suicidal thoughts, or feelings of anxiety because they feel as if they have.. become their mental illness. This is not a topic that should be handled lightly and unfortunately, it is. It's pretty sad, too.

I just realized that I haven't really discussed how this relates to Wattpad books.

In these stories that I see far too freaking often, it's literally just a girl who thinks that her life is the freaking worst or thinks it's cool and wicked to be depressed because her dog ran away or whatever the fuck, and suddenly thIS AMAZINGLY HOT GUY AND BOOM DEPRESSION FREAKING GONE.

DEPRESSION? BITCH WHERE? I CALL THAT "TEEN ANGST". AND SEXUAL FRUSTRATIONS OF VIRGINS.

Or some girl who thinks she's OCD because she wipes off the screen of her iPhone 6s+ every few hours, but she's suddenly fine after a few more chapters LIKE LOL-

Another thing; if you're gonna write the story, FLOW THROUGH WITH IT. Don't make it so that she has dementia one minute but suddenly is good for the rest of the book. Be consistent. #TipsWithSenpai.

LET'S CALM DOWN. It's a phone screen. Not something that determines life or death. Get a screen protector and move the hell on.

The self-diagnosis books, oh my freaking god. Can these girls stop saying that they're bipolar because they get into a fight with their boyfriend but they immediately regret it the next?? I'm sure bipolar disorder is a lot more complex than fighting with your boyfriend.

Now, I can support the authors that at least try to.. help their character somewhat past their mental problems with amazing character development and things like that. THEY EVEN HAVE A MOVEMENT DEDICATED FOR THAT SOLE PURPOSE LIKE WATTPAD PROJECTS ARE ACTUALLY USEFUL FOR SOMETHING.

BUT I CANNOT SUPPORT THE CHARACTERS THAT VISIT A THERAPIST A FEW TIMES AND FALLS IN LOVE AND SUDDENLY HER SCHIZOPHRENIA IS GONE LOL. FREAKING QUIT YOUR LIFE.

BOYS DON'T MAKE MENTAL ILLNESSES GO AWAY. BOYS PROVIDE SPERM TO REPOPULATE THE EARTH. NOOTT REALLY MUCH USEFUL BESIDES THAT. OH, AND MY DAD IS TALL ENOUGH TO GET THINGS OFF THE TOP SHELF AND HE'S PRETTY GOOD AT COOKING-

Not helping your point Mackenzie.

And the same self-righteous assholes that read these books are literally the same ones that attempt to stop this fuckery, all the while promoting it more. BUUUuuUuutTttT this chapter is not about my hate for some of the ignorant fucks on Wattpad so.

Now, my point is not that the mentally ill cannot be loved by society. But instead of pushing stupid things like romance and shit onto serious topics like that, lets, idk, pROMOTE THE REHABILITATION OF IT.

AND TRUST ME MENTAL ILLNESSES ARENT THE ONLY THING THAT GETS GLORIFIED ON WATTPAD HUNTY, FAR FREAKING FROM IT.

We have people who literally romanticize drug abuse, RAPE(are you motherfucking kidding me), PHYSICAL ABUSE(??), incest, and other serious ass shit that literally concerns me. I'm gonna start believing that everyone who writes these books need to be sent into a mental asylum or at least somewhere isolated from society. Crazy fuckers.

BUT ANYWAYS, if you see some girl.. promoting mental illness just punch her because she is a hateful bitch and she deserves to get her ass beat. SHE CLICHE AF.
