At group problem therapy-
"I feel used. Actually, I feel more than used, I feel, I feel overused. I feel like people use me for everything they do and say. Me this me that. I feel attached to everything that people do," The pound symbol announced.
"It's ok, I am a trained to help you with your problem. Also, all of these people here today are here to sympathize with you and your experience," the leader of group therapy told pound symbol.
"And that's not the worst of it they gave my some new name. Some random, made up, slang name. My name is pound, not hashtag! My name is not hashtag! Why would people call me some made up name? How would you like it if I just changed your name? You wouldn't would you? That's what I thought."
"Alright, alright calm down. I am sure that another person in the circle will be able to sympathize with hash- I mean pound symbol," The therapist said.
"Great, just great, here I am trying to get sympathy and understanding and all I get is mocked and misunderstood. People used to use me as a button to make a decision with but now I am just a prequel to increasingly stupid phrases like Y.O.L.O and swag. I can do nothing to stop the stupidity. If you are to call be a 'hashtag' at least attach me to something appropriately, and by this I mean do not attach me to every word like the, and, so, or any other filler word. Please, and I beg, just call and use me as the pound sign," The pound sign said.
"I am sorry that I messed your name up," The therapist tried to apologize.
"It is fine. I guess that today's teens just get me fired up. I mean can't they just use their incorrectness wisely and not invent stupid new words. Also, can't they just put me were the incorrectness is needed? I hate today's teens. They are always making up stupid trends and slang. I know that other people have to go, but I am just very passionate about this subject, if you couldn't tell. I am sorry for going off but I have never had anyone sympathize with me," pound sign said.
"Ok, well is there anyone who sympathizes with pound sign over here?" The therapist asked.
"No, ok, well I guess I will be going then. This is what happens every time," pound sign said as he went out on his sad little way.
