A lot of people like to
trash teenage girls because of
our "insane" crushes on band members. And
it really
bugs me because those insane crushes have helped
me,and a lot of girls, get through hard times.
Sometimes,
it's nice to listen to One Direction, and be able to hear
songs about how great I am without them expecting
anything in return. I can listen and hear how much
these cute, nonthreatening boys want to make me feel
special. No one is pushing me. There's no one shoving
their hands down my shirt without my consent. These
band members aren't pressuring me to send them
pictures, probably only to show all their friends and
call me a sl/ut later. When teenagers have a
crush on a band member, we have the power. And I
don't know why people judge us for wanting to
escape into that.
