       KEY WORDS:
     Directioner- someone who loves One Direction 
     Directionator- someone who hates One Direction

          The new topic that all teenage girls are talking about is 'One Direction'. One Direction is a group of 5 boys in the age range 18-20. Four of the boys (Zayn, Liam, Harry, and Louis) are British and the odd one out (Niall) is Irish. But don't worry Niall, we still love you. Don't get me wrong. The One Direction Infection is a good thing to have but in order to have this infection you must follow 5 steps to remain your life as a Directioner.


         The first rule to survive your whole life as a Directioner is "Don't become obsessed". The proper word in this case is to be DEDICATED. One Direction doesn't agree with the word 'obsessed' so its 'dedicated'. If you're going to be a true Directioner, you have to follow this rule otherwise you're just a Directionator. One Direction is currently on tour and their fans are dedicated to see them. On the first day of ticket sales, the Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal City Walk was sold out! These Directioners are dedicated. 


      The second rule on how to remain being a Directioner is "Don't say LLN (laugh like Niall),  but say LNL (love Niall's Laugh). Niall thinks that people are making fun of him when they say "Laugh Like Niall". So why would you tease a member of your favorite band. It may not be teasing him personally but he doesn't like it. Why would you even attempt to say LLN. Yes he may not hear you say it, but it's still disrespect to him. Directioners always Directioners. 


     The third rule is " Don't make fun of any of them including their girlfriends". A lot of people, either Directioners or Directionators, still say "OH MY GOSH! LOOK AT ____'s GIRLFRIEND. SHE IS SO UGLY." Don't be jealous because he has her and not you. It's probably never gonna happen. They need to have a life too and don't criticize them because of who they date or who they hang out with because if you were in their shoes, you would still be stressed out from going across the world to sing everyday and missing out on your life at home. True Directioners are happy for the band and they don't judge. Even through the bad and the good times, Directioners are always there. No matter what. 

   The fourth rule for the One Direction Infection is "love them for who they are, not what they have." People often say " I would date Zayn because he has all the money in the world! " If you were a Directioner, you wouldn't care about "accessories" . One of their songs says, 

"You've got everything you need

                                        But you want accessories                                                                              Got to hold it in your hand                               

                                      If I changed the world for you                                                                         I bet you wouldn't have a clue                                                                  Don't you know that I can't stand                                                                                   When girls say....

                                                              I want, I want, I want,

                                                           [Louis]

                                                      But that's crazy

                                                             [All]

                                                  I want, I want, I want,

                                                           [Louis]

                                                    And that's not me

                                                            [All]

                                                  I want, I want, I want,

                                                            [Louis] 

                                                     To be loved by you "
        
    The fifth rule is to not hate but just appreciate! A lot of people always hate on One Direction because true Directioners love One Direction. When people hate on One Direction, I just feel like saying 'get a real life. And if you hate them so much, stp talking about them'. It gets on everyones nerves. Trust me. 
    
    These 5 rules should be followed if you want to be a true Directioner.
