Fuck society. Society is a parasite on this earth, sucking up all the natural resources and leaving behind a trail of filth and shit. The planet is getting hotter, the ice caps are melting, Donald Trump is running for president. The world is doomed. So fuck them and don't let society dictate any part of your life.

I have always been an outsider. I was a punk in high school at a time when being punk was very, very uncool, and was constantly threatened by jocks, preppies and assholes. My friends have always been artists, musicians, freaks, and outcasts, and still are.

My wife and I dropped out of society. We moved deep into the woods and live in an off-grid cabin. We make our own electricity and grow our own food. I only got a satelite dish and internet a few years ago, mainly to study permaculture on line and stream horror movies. Here we have found a community of like-minded individuals. Many of my friends have tattooed faces and long dread locks. My son goes to an alternative school started by hardcore hippies back in the early seventies where I am the gardener and teach a botany class once a week.

What I am getting at is, though you are young and have to deal with a lot of bull shit right now, remember that there are alternatives to society out there. I'm sure you will find a community that will treasure you as a person and accept you as you are. As BlackNumber pointed out, the world is more accepting of the issues you are facing then it has ever been.

Yeah, so FUCK SOCIETY. Be yourself. And don't worry, adolescence ends and becomes a distant memory. Trust me, it's just a bump in the road and will be over before you know it.
