Shut up, you aren't a freak

I hate the word. But I hate when people use it to describe themselves or someone else even more.

Just because you or someone else dresses differently, has a different viewpoint on the world, has different likes or dislikes, follows a different religion or does things 'normal' people don't do (like homework at school or something similar along the lines of that), it doesn't make you/other people a freak!

Freak was the word to describe people that were caged, beaten and showed off like animals in sideshows (or freak shows) because they had a physical defect.

Freak was one of the many words used by Hitler when he decided to purge the world of God's unloved children (I don't refer to Jews here, I refer to those with mental or physical handicaps that were put in concentration camps, hospitals or labs and mistreated or experimented on).

You are not a freak. You are different, unique or you stand out. Stop using this word to describe yourself.
