School has just recentley started and we have a few new kids on campus. One happens to be a little different, just a tad, they're a really good person and very nice. But, it seems that it doesn't matter. People stereotype people way to much. That's equal to judging.. which all in all, I think is absolutely ridiculous! Lol Anyways, barely anyone talks or waves or even says hi to the poor kid! They're younger than me and the only time I see them is between classes or during lunch but, I always go out of my way to say hi or ask how their day is going, ever since I realize how cruel some people can be. Today, the person came and sat by me. I was with some of my other friends and some idiot dudes that were behind me. I had just got done eating lunch and he came and cheerfully exclaimed, "They should of added more salt on that Sloppy Joe!" Lol :) And then they smiled really big, said hi, and asked me how my day was. Haha, well the dumb boys behind me, ofcourse, as all teenage boys do, laughed and was mumbling (loud enough for the poor kid to hear) about how stupid they are. That is truely a douche bag thing to do. The way that kid smiled, even though they knew people was making fun of them, moves me, and strikes me as a smile of sunshine. I had a nice conversation with that person at lunch today. & I had an even better one with the douche bag boys who were making fun of the kid after lunch was over. Turns out, "they didn't know the kid was different." Well... That's a perfect reason you shouldn't stereotype .. and don't judge a book by it's cover.. Don't judge at all.
Thank you God for another amazing smile of sunshine to brighten up my day and hopefully someone else's!
Steph.
