Description
A tribute to the brave little 14-year old girl I was once upon a time when people gave me shit at school for being a feminist, for being bisexual, for dressing the odd way I wanted, for threatening to send the police upon the racist fuckers who ran around talking crap in the corridors..I wish I had the same self confidence now..

Haha - love the attitude! This is inspiring. I'm always happy to see examples of this sort of take-no-shit feminist attitude - and show them to my daughter

OH MY GAWD. Again your art amazes me!
I love how it seems she's lazily, effortlessly flicking off whoever.
X3 This is great and inspirational. I love you art. <3

"Feminism is the idea that we can make both genders equal by focusing solely on the issues of one of them" - The Amazing Atheist
I'm all for euqality, but I don't like feminism. Other then that, you seem to have been quite an interessting person. And I don't say that often

I don't think that feminism has to mean that you only focus on womens rights. Saying that is like saying that if you fight for animal rights you don't care about humans. But I'm glad that you find me interesting! ^__^

@Red London, that is an interesting quote. While that is not the implication of feminism, sadly that is what it is becoming in a lot of places. But again, it is my opinion.

I feel like I'm staring at myself now...
you have it. It didn't disappear. Maybe it's just hidden inside you and you have to find some courage to take it out again? growing up you went inside some invisible frame of ridiculous rules and beliefs?

För en gångs skull får jag skriva på svenska till någon här! ^^
Jag kan relatera till mycket av det du skriver, jag som mindre hade aldrig det förtroendet som du hade. Om jag bara kunde ha varit den jag är idag då. Jag blev mobbad ifrån sexårs till sexan för att jag såg annorlunda ut och klädde mig som jag ville, jag hade inte många vänner för att alla tyckte jag var konstig..
Jag har alltid försökt vara öppen för alla sorts människor, där bland hbt personer - själv vet jag inte vad jag gillar men mitt motto är "Love has no gender". Vilket jag tror på. Jag försvarar dessa människor för det finns för många som är emot dem, vilket är så synd. Det har tagit många år för mig att bygga upp det självförtroendet jag har idag och tack vare alla fuckade person som älskar att trycka ner andra för att det är udda - men jag har en underbar mamma som hjälp mig oerhört mycket på vägen dit. Henne är jag evigt tacksam. Men jag säger detta till dig för att jag verkligen tror att du kommer hitta självförtroendet igen, det kanske bara tar ett tag. Jag har lyckats, inget är omöjligt att lyckas med.
Jag tror på dig
Btw, du gör riktig konst - sluta aldrig. (:

*kram* Tack för din ärliga och underbara kommentar! Det är inte lätt att vara sig själv utan att tvivla, men det går. Kanske inte jämnt, men bara man litar på att man gör rätt så spelar det inte lika stor roll att andra försöker trycka ner en. Kämpa kämpa

*kram tillbaka*
Livet är inte enkelt, det har det aldrig varit och det är inte heller rättvist alla gånger.
Det är bara fel att alla personer som ser annolunda ut, klär sig på ett speciellt sätt eller bara är udda ska få utstå allt elände.
Man får tänk på att man själv är bättre än de som mobbar, de trycker ner andra för att dem själva mår dåligt och vill att aresterande ska må sämre/lika dåligt.

I'm sure that with a little encouragement, and a little help, you can regain that confidence. It may not be the same confidence, and it may even take a different form. But I'm sure that what was lost can be regained.
On a sidenote, I would have died laughing if I saw that scene happen. And there would be high-fives.

I was an outspoken kid as well and lost it. I've been trying to recapture it and this picture really helps me bolster that feeling back :cD I love it so much.

I often try to remember the girl I was at fourteen... she could still talk to fairies but they've forgotten me now. Lovely work.

Aw, :< I hope you find your fairies again!

that sort of confidence isn't something that disappears, it merely lies dormant. you are you, and that should be the single spark needed to awaken it. keep drawing beautiful.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That is beautifully said of you. I will keep trying to awaken it. Someday it may stick it's nose out again and roar a bit.

LoL its a start. great drawings by the way. i dig your style, especially your Avery Cates stuff. i LOVE those books.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yay! I want to make more, I just love mr Cates and Glee, she's so awesome. But I still have to read the last book, somehow I have been too distracted to get it yet.

Love it. I would salute that awesome, brave girl
When I was 14-15, I was struggling in the midst of a religious and political brainwashing by conservative douchebags Catholics and I only wore red, black, and white. I wanted so badly to be like this, but was shamed against it. Luckily I've since broken away and improved since then (and also become an anti-racist LGBTQ ally feminist

Wow, >__< what a story! Thank you for sharing, and yay for breaking out of bad stuff!

I've gone the other way, I was bullied because i was quite and fat and a bit weird XD My self-confidence was miniscule and it has slowly grown

It's odd how believing in oneself is so darn difficult! Really kick-ass music in headphones always help me get through the days feeling like the main character of a really cool movie though haha! It's really great to just let imagination flow and walk as if you owned the world even though you feel like a little geek.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I always day dream like that! XD And I just love having music on really loud in my head phones, so you can hear nothing but it in your head. Then imagine you're beating up bad guys to it XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, if I pass a shady-looking dude in the street that kind of scares me I always imagine beating the crap out of him to some cool theme-song. It soothes and amuses me. Poor guys, I'm sure they´re not all that shady. It's just my imagination...

lol that's so cool. I may try it, people like that freak me out a little XD It'll feel better to use my imaginary kung-fu moves on them!

You must have been an impressive kid. XD I love the way your attitude comes off in this picture, the use of color and the pose very much sums up STFU.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, I think it's impressive now but I felt like a stupid idiot at the time, ^.^ I'm glad you like the picture!

I love this, the flow is great. :]
Also, you seemed to be a lot cooler than I was at 14. lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you! I bet you were cool though! Everyone should make a little tribute to the teenager they once were, wether cool or not. Those poor kids deserve some respect.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're welcome. :]
Eh, I was a bit of a wallflower with bad Hot Topic clothes. lol
Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.
Maybe I'll make one sometime soon. :]

The picture is so cool!! And I admire you, seriously, I've never have that confidence!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
We would've been buddies.
You've still got that version of you in there somewhere. You can find that kid again, if you want.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, I hope I can find her somewhere, but I might have to adapt her to a grown-up world though. Not go around slapping people for being jerks. I could get arrested for assault! >_>
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah...the slapping people would probably not go over so well. You'd have a sore hand, anyway--the world's so overrun with jerks. :]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Great work! I love the textures and colors you used
I'm a feminist and bi too... I have never told anyone that I'm bi except for my sister. I have never had much self confidence but lately I have been feeling a bit more confident and sure of myself. Its a small step in an upward battle I suppose.
I hope we both can become more confident and brave
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sweet, thank you!
Self confidence is a struggle, and it goes up and down and can be shredded in an instant which is really scary, but it can be built up again. Sometimes you just need to tell people, even if it's not out loud, to shut the fuck up when they say hurtful things.. Ha!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah it's a shame that it's like that
I agree sometime you just need to let it out 
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
wow, just 14 and that brave????lucky you...btw what happend with the self-confidence?????
I wish I had the self-confidence as well....and didn't care so much what the others think about me...on the other hand, I'd say it's better than it used to be
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know what happened actually, it's weird. I think it had something to do with that the people in my school back then where real jerks and it was obvious, but later I met some people that I really looked up to and liked and they hurt me just as bad as those jerks did, only that I didn't realize it until much later :< It's more difficult to stand up to people that are jerks in a less obvious way I guess..

You must have been quite a girl. (: But never give up hope - maybe you can regain those qualities someday.
