The life Of a Tomboy

I have always been a Tomboy right from the get-go there are pro's and Con's and things that really just suck. I tried being a girly-girl in grade eight but it did'nt work out. I just said "You know what this is too hard....I'm just going to be myself' Even when I was only a year old my mom would put a dress on me and I would say "Mommy nooooo!" but she would bribe me and than I would eventually give in. When I was eight my mom and i made a deal that I would dress a little feminine for Christmas when we would go to my great-grandparents house on Christmas eve.
Here is Socially Rebellious's special tomboy section!

Why tomboys are more fun than girly-girls.

Pros J
-Tomboys like video games and sports.
-You don't have to buy Jewellery to impress them.
-Fun to be with they are just like "One of the guys"
-They spend less time in front of the mirror and more time with you
Cons L
- May be stronger than you
- May be more like “The Man”
- Not always interested in making love
- They don’t dress up all pretty for you
- May not meet your expectations (i.e. will say “Thanks man’ instead of
Hugging you and saying “Ooh that’s so sweet what a great guy you are!”


When he pulls out the ring and says “Marlys, will you marry me?”
I say…….
"I hope you understand...Your a cool guy and it was very nice of you and it's
a very nice stone.
but you can't drive, play with, have fun with, live in or eat a diamond
ring can you?. Just to tell you, sweetie I'm no jewellery girl.
Lets hock it and buy something we can both enjoy our years together with.
Like a high quality stereo or A video game system with two controllers.
The groom is special too you know. It's not all about me and what I want.
Can we get married at Playdium or planet laser? We can get our rings at
sears or wall-mart. Your a guy not a prince. I don't expect you to be
something your not and I say Yes.”

What sucks about being a tomboy………………….

*When your underwear gets mixed up with your brothers and your dad in the laundry. It’s pretty gross to find your fathers underwear in your drawer or even more disgusting put it on by accident and realize it’s not yours.
*Some people might assume you are a Lesbian wearing means clothes, men’s watches and having your wallet on a chain. Dating can be difficult.
*It’s harder making friends especial if you have a friend that chases you with make-up.
*When your mom bribes you to at least wear something feminine to your grandma’s retirement party.
* People look at you funny when you are in EB games or the collectors den at the shopping mall instead of Lazeza's or Adacrombie and Fitch.
* When you reach a certain age (teens) you can’t have baseball cards or a collection of Dungeons and Dragons action figures on your dresser without being made fun of but it's ok if a guy does it cause he's just labeled as a "Geek"
* Puberty is more confusing.
