I'm black and I really wish I was something else. It's not fair. I mean all the other races get nice hair. Whether it be curly or straight, but black people get stuck with this kinky hair.

I mean my friends are predominately Mexican and usually I see them fix their hair and primp in the bathroom. While my hair is pulled back into a slicked bun. And I just think, 'I want to be able to do that too...' or when their hair gets wet it justs curls up or frizzes up a little, no biggie for them but when black people's hair gets wet, it just puffs up into stereotypical Afro and it's embarrassing. My hair doesn't do that. My hair is a mixture of wavy and kinky but it's thick.

And concerning boys, ugh. I really like Asian guys. I think they're really cute but no Asian guy would give me the time day. I mean Asian guys usually never go for a black girl and it's upsetting to hear my favorite Korean pop biases talk about their ideal girl being fair-skinned with long straight hair. And they most of the time stick to their own race or white girls. Not even black guys seem to want black girls anymore. It physically hurts my heart.

I wish I could just be reborn into a pretty, white/Mexican/Asian/mixed girl and not have to worry about this and what people think of me.

I go out of my way just to not act like those loud, ghetto black people you see on TV. I get straight A's and I'm at the top of the class, I'm nice to everyone, I participate in soccer, volleyball, band, and yearbook. I have alot of friends and respect but I just want to have a guy that likes me.

They may say that looks aren't everything but they sure are getting most people what they want in life.
