Hi Guys,
As you know I’ve been wanting to create a tumblr for a while now. The reason being is that I have so many moments that are just too big to share in a short 140 character tweet. I also have so many feelings that I want to be able to express. I want us to be able to have an environment where we can discuss topics that need to be addressed, a place for us to give each other advice and to support one another. I want this to be a place that we can come and let our feelings out, our opinions out and pour our hearts out. So I hope that you will be a part of this journey with me!
嗨亲们，
你们知道我想创建一个自己的tumblr主页很久了，原因是我有很多时刻，是无法在推特上用短短的140字分享给你们的。我同样有很多想法，而我也希望能够把它们说给你们听。我希望我们能有一个地方，让我们随心所欲谈论那些需要被关注的话题，互相给予建议和支持。我希望这里能让我们来释放自己的情绪，说出自己的意见，吐露自己的心声。所以希望你能够成为我这趟旅程中的一员！

The first thing I want to write about is something that I am currently experiencing and something that I’ve truly always been going through without me being old enough to realize it. I think to be quite honest ALL of us at some point in our lives go through this and IT. NEEDS. TO. BE. TALKED. ABOUT.
我想写的第一件事就是我自己正在经历且一直在经历，却因为太年幼而没有意识到的一件事。我想说实话，我们每个人都会在人生中的某个阶段遇到这件事。因此这件事不 可 忽 视。

I’m talking about LABELS. No, not the kind we put on our lunch boxes when we are a kid, or on our sweater so if we lose it on the playground it can be returned to us, or even the ones that we put on the side of a mason jar with the fresh jam we just made (hello Pinterest thank you for the idea).
I’m talking LABELS. The kind of LABELS that are put on PEOPLE. I was sparked to write about this after finding a post on a twitter account saying:
我想说的就是贴标签这件事。这指的不是我们小时候贴在午餐盒上的标签，或是担心运动衫丢在了操场上找不回来而贴的标签，也不是贴在装有自己刚刚做好的果酱的罐子上的标签（谢谢品趣激发了我的灵感）。我指的是人们身上的标签。我是受这条推特的激发才来写这篇文章的：

Now, I’m going to interrupt the quote for a quick minute to get personal about that last description. I was just labeled as a “prude” by someone a few weeks ago. Now at the time I didn’t know what it meant so I just laughed it off and nodded my head awkwardly (as I do). I then got home and looked up the definition of it and was so taken back… For those who aren’t sure of the definition either, it’s this:
在这里，我要暂时打住这一段话，来讲一讲最后一句与我有关的事。有人几星期前把“装正经”（prude）这个标签贴在了我身上。当时我并不知道这个词是什么意思，所以我只好尴尬地点点头（我就这样），一笑而过。然后我回到家，查了查这个词的定义，结果大吃一惊...对那些同样不知道这个词真正意思的人，这是它的定义：

n./adj. One who will not engage in any kind of sexual activity with a member of the opposite sex. 1. Usually used as a discriminatory word. 2.Can be used in a fashion as to bait someone into sexual activity.




名词/形容词 不同异性参与任何形式的性行为的人。1.通常用作歧视。2.可能被用作引诱人参与性行为的一种方式。

So this word isn’t a kind word. There’s no way to make it a kind word.
Here’s what upsets me and makes me feel a little confused:
Where does having morals and waiting to take big steps until you’re absolutely ready to take them a negative thing? I didn’t know that making a personal decision based on what you believe in your heart was such a terrible thing…. that’s because IT ISN’T.
很明显这个词并不友好，也永远不会变得友好。
让我感到伤心且困惑的是：遵守道德且在跨出人生的一大步之前做好准备，这怎么会是一件坏事？我不明白为什么根据自己的想法做出个人的决定是这么糟糕的一件事...因为这并不糟糕。

I am not a prude. I respect myself and my body and I will always always do what I believe in that doesn’t make me any word or anything besides:
ME.
我不是一个假正经的人。我尊重我自己和我的身体，我也会一直坚持自己内心的想法，我不会成为任何人而只会做：
我自己。

Okay- now back to the quote:
“…. if she doesn’t wear makeup she’s a slob, if she has low self esteem she needs to learn to love herself but if she has high self esteem she’s overconfident and vain, if she’s interested in politics she’s a crazy social justice warrior but if she prefers to stay out of social matters she’s a dumb airhead….”
好了，现在回到那条推特：
“...如果她不化妆她就是个懒宅；如果她很自卑她就需要学会爱自己，但如果她很高傲那么她就是一个自负虚荣的人；如果她对政治感兴趣她就是个社会愤青，但如果她不愿参与政治有关的事项她就是个无知的蠢货...”

I don’t know about you BUT this Twitter post really effected me and hit me straight in the heart. I also want to make a point to say that this doesn’t just go for girls it goes for boys as well…. and that’s where we move on to stereotypes.
我不知道你们怎么想但这条推特真的对我影响非常大，直接击中我的心。我也想说明一下，这些标签，同样也被贴在了男孩身上。现在我们来讲讲“刻板印象”（stereotypes）。

stereotype :
A stereotype is used to catergorize a group of people. People don’t understand that type of person, so they put them into classifications, thinking that everyone who is that needs to be like that, or anyone who acts like their classifications is one.


刻板印象：
用来划分某个群体的人。大众不理解这些人，于是就把他们分类。他们认为与这些人行为相似，或者想成为这些人的任何人，都被归为是有刻板印象的人。（翻得略不准确，最好看原文感受一下...）

【这里插播一下...当时看到上面那段真的是感触挺深的...首先拜莉是美国人，说实在的虽然美国是啥样的人都有，但并不像大家所说的那样所有老美都很友好（当然加拿大是真的是这样，可能就是因为加国比较与世无争，国民素质相对来说还是更高些。加国在老美眼里永久的槽点就是Canadians都是sorry不离口），不仅人种上有歧视，即使一个人很个性很特殊也会有很多haters。我个人觉得部分老美是很愤青很激进的，再加上言论自由，有些人说话很难听...更何况拜莉还是演员，私人生活基本暴露在人们眼皮底下，更不免会有更多的指指点点。看了跟拜莉有关的那两段还是很难受很心疼\("▔□▔)/】

We live in a generation where we are judged and looked upon every two seconds. I know that in my case I am being watched because I am in the public eye. I also know that one small mess up or mistake could honestly overpower any good that I have managed to do because sadly people are more interested in the bad mess ups than all the good things we do. Labels and stereotypes don’t help this situation. So here’s what I want to encourage us all to do:
在我们生活的这个时代，所有人每一秒都被别人关注且评价着。我知道对于我而言是因为我是公众人物，我也知道一错遮百对，因为很悲哀的是，比起我们的优点来说，人们对我们犯的错更感兴趣。标签和刻板印象不会对这种情况有什么帮助。所以我建议大家都这么做：

Take out a piece of paper.
Grab a pen.
Take out a phone or a laptop or any device that can record. (and if possible I would love for you to tweet/ instagram me your pictures and/or video, I’ll be putting together a project about it)
Hit record.
I want you to know write down any word that you have ever been called on that paper.
Once you’re done lift up that paper and face it towards the camera so we can see those words.
On the count of three I want you to stay facing the camera and tear that paper into as many pieces as you can.
1..
2….
3….

拿出一张纸。
拿一支笔。
准备好手机或者笔记本，或者任何能录像的设备。（如果可以的话我很愿意看你们po的照片或视频，我会集中成一个有关的项目）
开始录像。
我想让你把所有你被别人叫过的单词写下来。
完成之后，举起纸来面向摄像头，让我们看到那些单词。
数到三，我希望你面对着摄像头，把那张纸撕成尽可能多的碎片。
