People don't like the music you listen to, people don't like what you think. So they try to tell you that you are absolute garbage. They often think that they're in the right just because they are in the majority.While you are young, you don't have much choice but to be surrounded by them. Once you are old enough, remember two things: one, there are many more people who share your interests than you might think. Two, you have to go out and find them because they believe they're just as alone as you are, and aren't going to be looking for you.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
