People often misunderstand high school as a whole. They don’t see what truly lies behind the scenes. They don’t see how stressful high school life is compared to the outside world. They don’t feel the constant peer pressure to “fit in” or to look a certain way.
To me the most relevant part of high school that has the heaviest toll upon me is name calling. I see people all the time trying to put down others moral and they don’t seem to care about it at all. The world is a diverse place with extraneous amounts of opportunities. Just because a person see’s life’s values in a different aspect than that of the one who is being teased , doesn’t mean they have a right to criticize them for what they believe in.
Seeing people being teased like this really has had a negative impact on me, I want the world to be a peaceful place a place where were united and not trying to hurt another person’s feelings. But the reality of it all is we all judge a person before we even get to know them and we constantly fall under the assumption that just because they may be different from us where going to discriminate against them without letting their voice be heard.
My plans for the future are to start sticking up for those kids who are being teased. It may land me in social discrimination but I don’t care as long as stick up for those who need it the most that means more to me than anything. No matter what it takes I’ll be by there side until the end. I’m hoping that others will do the same; all it takes is a voice, to change a person’s life forever.
