Around 11-12 years old, I stopped wanting to say the Pledge of Allegiance; and I stopped standing up and putting my hand over my heart for whatever anthems or allegiances there were.
My parents weren't the reason. I had started reading a lot of history books and journal articles that, IN MY OPINION, didn't paint the U.S. in a good light. I decided to translate my newfound knowledge into a 12 year old version of social protest.
I'm so kickass.
