Fed Up With This Illusion

I am so fed up with this illusion high school-ers have about “social status.” They have it all wrong. No one is “better” than anyone else. No one is “cooler” than anyone else. The only thing that defines our level amongst others is our heart, our consideration, our skill. People can be a better person in means of treating others fairly, being polite and respectful, and being kindhearted. The way a person dresses, how many friends they have, etc, does NOT define us as a person. No person has the right to judge who is better than others, or who they are better than; especially when they have the wrong idea of what makes one person better than another.

I am tired of getting a dirty look because I “dared” to talk to someone. I am tired of getting a dirty look from someone who has only seen me for 2 seconds and have already made an assumption of what I am like and where I stand in this world. I AM TIRED OF GETTING A DIRTY LOOK FOR BEING ME!

I will not change. I like how I am and if anyone else doesn’t, then that is their problem. I am not going to let a dirty look make me feel bad. I am not going to let someone belittle me because they think I am at a “low social status.”

I don’t know why it is that a person has to make it their business to slam someone if they don’t like the person and what they have done. Beating someone up or putting them down is not going to solve any problems; it is not going to make that person change. A person has every right to be the way they want to be as long as it does not hurt others. No one else has any say in how other people should be. Verbally and physically attacking a person because of dislike is just as effective as doing so to the snow when it comes. It will not make the snow go away. The only thing you can do is deal with it or ignore it. This is what people should do to other people. If you don’t like the way a person looks or dresses... too bad. If you don’t like the person in general....TOO BAD! We are all equal in shape, form, and rights. BUT, we are also all different people. The only thing we can do about that is to accept it or ignore it. No one has the place or right to decide who is worthy of respect. Please accept and respect.
