The All-American Rejects Invite You to Submit your Kids in the Street Story

Kids in the Street is not just the name of the album. It's lyrically and musically nostalgic. It takes you back to an innocent state of mind. Our music has been a great escape. We want you to be a part of it. Be a KID IN THE STREET. Submit your favorite moments in life. Paintings, photos, videos, interpretive dances, whatever expresses who you are, will do. Show us anything you can that captures a moment in your life or reflection on your life. Your submitted art, videos and memories will appear on this site. We're then going to take a cluster of the best submissions and invite the winning creators to a very special event where you will hang out with us and tell us your story about what inspires you. So good luck and get to submitting here.

I miss being innocent. I miss living in a small country town when I was just eight years old, and even the smallest, most pointless things made me truly smile. I remember when I was happy with the way I looked, I wasn’t the least bit concerned about my weight or appearance. Things have changed.  Society has me feeling ugly, not good enough for anyone. It has caused many teenagers to find the solution in self-harm and eating disorders.  I never saw myself someone that would do this, but it’s the truth. My insecurities could eat me alive. I just miss not caring what anyone said. I miss how close my family was. I miss all the friends that promised they would never leave, but they lied. I want to be a kid again. I want to not have a care in the world. I want to live for the moment .I want to feel free and happy, like as long as I have a smile, nothing can touch me. The All-American Rejects and their music saved me from myself. The song ‘move along’ inspired me to get past the bad things in life; I listened to it on repeat for literally weeks after my parents’ divorce. It somehow taught me that things may be bad now, but you can always move along and make it through.   I am a very insignificant person in the world. But being a kid in the street can make me feel a part of something. Meeting Tyson Ritter would actually complete my life ♥ ♥
