School administrators didn’t want Marvin Wright to read his own speech. He did it anyway.

Marvin Wright, 2017 senior class president at SouthWest High School in Edgecombe County, North Carolina, had his diploma withheld for more than two full days, WRAL reported.

SouthWest Edgecombe allegedly withheld Wright’s diploma as retaliation for his graduation speech, the Wilson Times reported.

Wright reportedly worked for more than two weeks on his remarks but was asked at the last moment to not deliver his speech and instead deliver one prepared by school administrators. According to the Wilson Times, the administrator’s speech was just four sentences long.

“To be honest, the speech that they wrote wasn’t me at all,” Wright told the Wilson Times. “I feel like they tried to belittle me in a way because I had more to say. I feel like they couldn’t describe the ways that I felt and the things that I experienced.” 

“There were only four sentences and I was like, ‘I really worked hard on this speech and as senior class president, I think I should read my own speech,’ and they was like, ‘No, this is what you are going to read.’”

When Wright approached the podium, he pulled up his speech on his phone and delivered it his way. Read more (6/15/17)

Please don't scream, I have anxiety and loud noises really can trigger a panic attack. It's okay occasionally, but I just really really want to have fun at this event :)

Dear Everyone Seeing DnP on Tour,

Please please please, do not just continually scream throughout the show. Sure when they come out is fine. But some people have anxiety and it is very difficult for them to be in a large crowd, especially one that is constantly screaming. Not to mention, it just becomes annoying. For me personally, I don’t want my parents to get angry at me or Dan and Phil because everyone just screamed the whole time. I’d really like to be able to hear the show my mother paid $500 for me to see. Of course this also references the meet and greet. I’m just asking you to please respect Dan, Phil, and your fellow fans. I don’t mean this rudely; I’m just asking for a common curtesy. :)

kids are fucking fragile, ok? when you have no life experience you have nothing to compare your troubles to and many things ARE, in fact, the worst thing to ever happen to you.

i’m 20. and i had a rough week this week. and one of the reasons it wasn’t as rough as it could have been is because i have had worse. i have been in more pain than this before and it was really helpful to be able to say to myself, yes, ok, i’m feeling like a massive pile of shit right now, but i remember how i felt when thing x happened y years ago and that was objectively more horrible and if i got through that then i’m going to survive this.

when i was 16 i couldn’t do that because thing x was in fact the worst thing to ever happen to me. because when you haven’t lived very long some of the things that happen WILL be the worst things to ever happen to you and you’re fucking allowed to be angry and upset and so on. there is no age you have to reach before you’re allowed to feel bad. i can’t believe this discourse tbh.

kids are fragile and they’re dismissed all the time for having feelings because shitty ass adults are so selfish that they can’t wrap their minds around the idea that MAYBE their feelings aren’t more important than a child’s. seriously fuck off maybe if someone had taken me seriously as a kid i’d be a functional adult
