Haters Gonna Hate Haters must really have no life since they spend so much time investigating everybody's imperfections and over analyzing the simplest stuff trying to make everyone look bad. Really? Not to put a damper on things, but NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU THINK! It's an enormous waste of everybody's time, so stop. Right now. Hating is not beneficial to the hater or to the one being hated on. It takes a considerable amount more energy to hate than to love. It really does. Why must haters try to bring misery on someone else? Most likely on someone they don’t even know. There’s a difference between “knowing of” and actually “knowing” someone. Whether we know or know of someone, we can't stop people from saying what they want to say. No matter what people do, there is always someone around to hate on them for ridiculous reasons. Knowing this kills me, but it shouldn't because haters' options don't matter. They really don't. But like I said, people will say what they want to say and we can’t do anything about that, especially in school. School is a competition and we’re all competing to get the best grades, recognition, and results amongst our peers. The harder you work, the better the results. That’s what I’ve been trying to do; busting my brains out to achieve the best results I can for high school. I don’t appreciate how lately this sonuvabitch has perceived me with an abundance of stink eyes. I have pride in my work and love what I do, but I don’t think of myself as the best or anything. It annoys the hell out of me when I show only a small amount of pride in my work and then out of nowhere some hater yells, “Calm down. Your work is uninteresting. You aren’t the best so shut up.” That may be an over-exaggeration, but things like that can really hurt my pride and growth. Seriously, if you don’t like my work then show me your skills and step up to me. Haters need to put up or shut up. I don’t care about 95% of what people think of me and what I do, but there’s always that 5% that pierces my dignity, self-esteem, and joy. It’s small, but it will always linger in the back of my mind. I am grateful for feedback, but if it isn't critical or constructive as to how I can get better then you’re just a stupid hater. I can remember this one time when I was faced with a hater who was hating for an insane reason. My friends and I were talking about the new Avengers movie. Needless to say, we all loved it. Well, all but one of us. "Oh my God, I love The Avengers! Robert Downey Jr. makes the perfect Iron Man!" I said to my friends. "And Chris and Chris! They are the best." One of my friends said. "This may be the best movie of the year. It's definitely my favorite." Another friend said. "Definitely not mine." Said Hannah while she rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "What do you mean?" I asked her. "I mean the movie almost worked. Well, sort of almost, almost sort of almost. Well, not at all actually. It's funny and physical, but even though it was two and a half hours long, it seemed like it was on fast-forward or something the whole movie." She said with the sassiest attitude I had ever seen. "That's a really minor flaw, if even a flaw at all." I said, trying to calm her down. She was about to snap. "And forget about character development because there wasn't even a little character explanation for chrissake." She said followed by a heavy sigh. She snapped. She really did. It went from being a simple conversation about a movie to a full on hating rant. Everyone was glaring at her with expressions that said what the hell did you just say and what a hater. I noticed the looks of disbelief on some of my friends' eyes and quickly stepped in to break the awkward silence. "Sorry you didn't like the movie." I said sympathetically. After I said that, I gave the smallest grin to Hannah that I could fake. She had her lips pursed and her eyes were piercing at me. I wanted to say, "Who the hell do you think you are? Just 'cause you didn't like the movie does not mean you have to be a bitch about it. Okay? Okay." Of course, I would never say that. "I'm sorry too. I'm sorry that you don't know a good movie form a crappy one." She snapped at me this time and I got pissed. I cracked my neck left to right and got ready to insult the hell out of her, but I stopped myself just in time. I took a few deep breaths and calmed down. "Well," I said, "we all have different opinions I guess," I gave her another phony smile and the last words I ever said to her were, "Bye Hannah." From that moment on, I knew she was a hater. If someone could get so easily riled up by something as fun and harmless as a movie, then they were not a good person to hang around. People that are constantly trying to put other things or people down are just so self-conscious that they need to take it out on others. They don't think they have enough self worth, so they need to take away everybody else's. Haters are the worst. It's simple as that. They are mean, harmful, wicked, unpleasant, rotten people that nobody deserves to be around. Being around haters kills me. I can't stand listening to them hate on and on and on until they leave. They never stop talking. They really don't. If you're ever around haters, keep your faith and remember that they cannot hurt you unless you let them. When haters say all kinds of nasty crap about you or are just hating on you, follow these six simple steps to let go and move on. 1) Pray for them because they clearly need help. 2) Do not seek their acceptance because it’s a lost cause and they just want attention. 3) As badly as you may want to, do not defend yourself because it's not worth your time or effort. 4) Smile a lot and go about your daily life as if someone didn’t call you names; be silly and fun and brush it off your shoulders. 5) Know that everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, no matter what it is and haters' opinions are based on surface judgment so it their opinions don't matter. 6) And lastly, pray for strength for yourself because you deserve it. If you really want to know, I can be a hater sometimes too. I admit it. Though I wouldn't consider myself a hypocrite or anything, I sometimes hate on things even though I know it pisses everybody else off. One thing I am not the hugest fan of is horror movies. It's not that I'm scared of them; it's actually the complete opposite. They bore me to death. They really do. When everyone is on the edge of their seats waiting for the killer to jump out, I'm yawning. When everyone is screaming and shaking because the girl is about to be stabbed, I'm yawning. When everyone is saying, "Oh my God, that was so scary," I'm yawning. Though I don't knowingly insult the movies, I make side comments all the time that I'm sure sound a lot like hating. I don't try to hate, but it's hard to force yourself to like something that you just don't. I guess that's what Hannah was doing when we were talking about the Avengers. Though she could have done it in a more civilized way, she was just expressing her feelings to be a part of the conversation. She didn't want to be left out, so she contributed what she thought. I also could have been nicer to her, and she was just defending herself. She was being tough, and now I understand and respect her for it. Though I am tough too, I know I'm not tough enough to deal with all the haters in the world. I can imagine myself in a high school hallway dealing with haters. Wherever I am, there will always be haters around. This rant is not only for me, but also for all people that feel bad because of what someone else has said or how someone else has treated them. Haters are going to hate, but being the bigger person and not hating back is what is important. Haters only hate because they are simply jealous of everybody else's success and good personality. Don't let them take that away from you.
