There’s been a lot of shit about One Direction here lately and honestly I’m fucking sick of it. These boys are honestly so talented and have worked their ass off to become the top dogs that they are. If you say that they don’t deserve to be loved buckle your seat belts because it's gonna be a long damn ride.

Pretty Impressive huh? That’s nothing compared to the amount of money that they have raised for charities and the crazy amount of charity work that they do.

  First we will take a look at everything that they have done together:

In 2011, the band performed on the Children in Need 2011 broadcast, helping raise over 26 million pounds

They raised over £600,000 for charity during their UK and Ireland tour.

They have donated 50p from every ticket sold to ‘Stand Up To Cancer’. In addition, all friends and family requesting tickets were also asked to donate, with the proceeds being split between Rays of Sunshine Children’s Charity and the Teenage Cancer Trust. In total £300,000 has been raised across the tour.

They have also been ambassadors for Rays of Sunshine Children’s Charity since 2012 and regularly give up their time to help grants wishes for seriously ill children in the UK.

 Raised £50,000 for Flying Start - British Airway's charity partnership with Comic Relief

Some of their causes include:

Alzheimer's Association

Comic Relief

Greenpeace

Mines Advisory Group

Sport Relief

They have supported charities for:

AIDS & HIV

Animals

Cancer

Children

Conservation

Disaster Relief

Education

Environment

Fair Trade

Health,Homelessness

Human Rights

They are constantly tweeting out and trying to get people to donate to charities as well. Half of my favorites from Niall on Twitter are donation tweets. 

Now Individually:

Let’s start off with Harry "I let myself go" Styles shall we- since everyone is so worried about his hair and clothing choices here lately which by the way are completely fucking fine.

Spent $3,000 on pizza and gave it to the homeless

Played in Nialls charity football match

Is a big part of Trekstock a cancer charity and raised $784,345

Had a charity date along with Liam for Trekstock

Next is Niall " I am dating every single girl that I have talked to, been photographed with, or seen with" Horan -even though when he does something amazing for charity it doesn't get half the recognition that girls do.

He hosted two separate events on his birthday in 2013: for Irish Autism Action (IAA) and the Temporary Emergency Accommodation Mullingar (TEAM)

He also raised Over £300,000 At Charity Football Challenge that he himself hosted and put together

Now Zayn "badboy, mysterious, pot head" Malik -who isn't mysterious, he is just to himself and that one time he went MIA for a while? Yeah it was because he was doing something huge for charity.

played a huge part in achieving the fantastic total which is going towards Bristol Royal Hospital for Children, as his painted pooch was auctioned off for a whopping £26,000.

Joined the The British Asian Trust which provides funding to support high impact charities within the areas of education, health and livelihoods in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka

Donated the very first guitar that he ever played in One Direction (an acoustic guitar)to Kean's Children's Fund in Dundee, Scotland, along with an autograph and personal message

Now for Louis "Sarcastic pothead" Tomlinson-who is sassy but not disrespectful and owns the Doncaster Rovers now. Not too bad for a good for nothing pothead as he's been called.

Teamed up with children's hospice bluebell wood to release limited edition charity bag.

Hosted a charity football game on Monday (October 22) to raise funds for the Bluebell Wood home; even better he went one further and made a secret visit to the hospice on the day of the event - something which they said "brought sunshine" to the children.

He also played in Niall’s charity football match

Now here comes the kicker. Mr Liam "I tweet horrible things" Payne-who can't like things that normal people can, or stand up for himself because he's a prick for doing so even though he's the farthest thing from it. 

He is also a huge supporter in the Trestock foundation and he and Harry promoted the fundraising platform Prizeo, which aims to raise money for young people suffering from cancer.

They also took charity winners on a date

That's a lot of dough-ja feel? Okay so now that I'm off that subject let's talk about their work ethic which is fucking amazing.

Tours:

Up All Night Tour (2011–12)

Take Me Home Tour (2013)

Where We Are Tour (2014)

On the Road Again Tour (2015)

Music and Albums:

Up All Night sold over 5 million copies and reached #1 in 17 countries.

What Makes You Beautiful’ entered the charts at #1 in the UK. In the U.S., it sold more than 131,000 copies in its first week, debuting at #12 on the Billboard Digital Songs chart.

Up All Night’ also debuted at #1 on the US Billboard 200 chart with over 176,000 copies sold in week 1 alone. This made chart history, as 1D became the first British group ever to debut at #1 in the US with their debut album release.

Take Me Home’ sold over 5 million copies worldwide and reached number 1 in 37 countries

This Is Us topped the UK and US box offices and grossed an incredible $67 Million worldwide.

Talk shows, interviews, magazine covers, television shows, fragrances, guest appearances, merch, the list goes on and on...Wayy too many to count

They honestly work their ass off for their fans. They don't have to do half of the shit that they do for us. Yeah they were put together because of a tv show, but they have worked their ass off to get to where they are now. Simon may have put them together as a band, but they are who we pay to see. Their personalities and their talent and they've done that all on their own. Yeah they do make mistakes, news flash they are fucking human. If we were in their shoes I guarantee we'd lose our sanity. Think about it they: Get made fun of, have their sexuality questioned 24/7, rumors are constantly going on about them, mobbed pretty much everywhere they go, everything they do is analyzed, have to constantly prove that they aren't some "bubble gum pop band", they deal with hate more than the majority of celebs. It's just bullshit. They are grown men, they can act mature and they can act immature, they are human. They are maturing their music as they get older and trying to reach out and relate to more people and I think that's amazing. A lot of the time they apologize for shit that they honest to god should not have to apologize for. I've never heard of one person having a bad fan experience with them where they were rude or egotistical. In fact I've always heard extremely well mannered and polite. They always let us know how grateful they are and how truly appreciative.

Best friends?

or fan and idol? 99% of people will get this wrong. 

They make us laugh and they make us smile. A lot of the the time they make us shake our head because they are so goofy. One thing about them is that they truly care. It's not just about the charities, I truly believe that they are good people. Does anyone remember poor Harry getting pranked by Nickelodeon? He cared so much for that woman he was literally in the floor with her helping her do breathing exercises. Remember the comic relief trip? Although it gave us the best music video in the history of One Direction, it showed us how tender hearted those boys actually were. When they cried I broke down, those tears weren't for show, it was obvious that trip broke their hearts.

How many times have you seen Niall get emotional on stage when the crowd says his name or sings his song back to him. Not just Niall, all of them. They all have moments when they just look so grateful. They try to meet and take pictures with as many fans as possible as well. They interact with them on stage and try to put on the best show that they can. 

I don't blame the boys one bit for not involving us in their love lives or personal lives, for standing up for themselves, and not being very active on social media.  They don't tell us everything because of the constant hate. The hate toward them, their girlfriends, and family is downright ridiculous. Who the hell cares if Larry or Eleanor are real? If they are great, if they aren't great. If we are supposed to know something, then we will know it. Their personal lives are none of our business. We are supposed to be here for the music and to love and support them, not trash talk them every time they do something new or something that we don't like. 

I've rambled on long enough. Point is One Direction is a great fucking band and I'll be a fan until the end of time even if Harry goes bald, Niall can't walk, Zayn and Louis smoke up more weed then Snoopdog, or Liam gets banned from Twitter for upsetting too many people. 

One more post of " David Beckham or Liam Payne ;The world won't know or 99% will get this wrong or 9 out of 10 get this wrong " BULLSHIT!

Gonna THROTTLE all One Direction FUCKTARDs! Get your SHIT together and

STOP comparing a Wannabe to a Great Legend!

This comparison CRAP gotta END! It is either all of ya'll turn out be blind or completely SENSELESS! 

I am so pissed right now. People are sending hate to Zayn, Perrie, Liam, and Sophia. Why? What did they do to you?

Yes Zayn is getting married but not for a while. People who say the band will now break up because of that are being irrational. They just started their careers and won’t break up for a long time if ever. Be happy Zayn found his other half.

Liam got a new girlfriend. Good for him. Maybe he’s moved on from Danielle. What’s so bad about that? Just because you don’t ship them don’t send them hate. That just makes then sad. What good will that do? You are hurting them by doing that. Give them a chance. If you still don’t support them that’s fine. Just don’t send hate. Hate doesn’t do any good so don’t send it.
