Different
(page 6)
Life experience brings out different emotions and different perspectives on things. I just want to be constantly evolving.
I love making new friends and I respect people for a lot of different reasons.
Parents and schools should place great emphasis on the idea that it is all right to be different. Racism and all the other 'isms' grow from primitive tribalism, the instinctive hostility against those of another tribe, race, religion, nationality, class or whatever. You are a lucky child if your parents taught you to accept diversity.
It's cool to be different and just be who you are and shock people in a good way.

Abortion is inherently different from other medical procedures because no other procedure involves the purposeful termination of a potential life.
At school I pretended I had a normal life, but I felt lonely all the time and different from everyone else. I never felt like I fit in, and I wasn't allowed to participate in after-school activities, go to sports events or parties or date boys.

In strictly medical terms, there's no difference between HIV and diabetes; they're not curable, but they're very, very highly treatable, and early information is power. The only thing — literally the only thing — that is different is the stigma. And we have to overcome it, because it is now the only reason people are dying.
But the battles against loneliness that I fought when I was 16 are very different from those I fought when I was 27, and those are very different from the ones I fight at 44.
