Here is something I do not understand. Why people have to be so mean. I was just on facebook and I was looking at something someone posted and it was a math question with 4 possible answers and you are suppose to guess the right one. Everyone was guessing different possibilities depending upon how they did the math problem. This link has thousands of comments on it and every once and a while some jackass has to say something mean. One of the comments was; "Go back to elementary school you idiots the answer is 50". Another comment was "get a real life".
Are these comments really necessary? Why do people feel the need to say stupid stuff like that to people whom they most likely do not even know?
How can someone go on a link and type for all the others to get a life when they are on the same thing...?
I wish people would just let others do what they would like without someone saying something rude. The world would be such a better place even. Bullies.
I am glad that schools have started doing something about preventing bulling and/or are doing something about those who are bulling others. I remember high school and it was not the best time. Kids always have to make others feel like they are nothing and I just never understood why. I always hated that saying, "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." Why on earth are we taught that phrase. The words that your peers say are more painful than broken bones, especially since they tend to stay with a person a whole lot longer than a broken bone.
My friends and I were always being made of fun of for some reason or another and I could never understand why. Why do teenagers, or people of any age, feel the need to make people feel bad about themselves? How does that make someone feel better about themselves?
Teenagers judge their peers way too often, and most of the time it is on the most ridiculous things. The common thing I was always teased about were my clothes. They were never "cool" enough because my family didn't spend $80 on a pair of jeans. At first it didn't bother me because I at least had clothes and I had something better than cool clothes. My family owned and still owns quite a lot of horses. They were more important to me than expensive clothes. Unlike most kids in my class I had the pleasure of having my own horse, which meant more than being part of a group that seemed to judge everyone on everything that they did or said. After a while of hearing all the crap that people were saying it started to get to me. I became worried about everything I said or did and what I wore.
However, I realized that no matter what I would never be part of the "cool" kids. Mostly because I didn't want to be because they stood for everything I was against. I never liked judging people and I have never thought that I have the right to judge others either. The other reason is because they would never stop judging me based on everything I did or said, even the past things. Kids always seem to bring up things that happened in the past to make other's lives miserable in some way or another.
The few friends I had in high school were awesome and I knew that if I just waited until I was done with high school and moved on to college that I wouldn't have to deal with quite as much ridicule. Thankfully that is very much true. However, there are college students who seem to think they are still in high school and tend to judge those around them still. Luckily, most students grow up and realize that it is stupid to make fun of others, yet some folks never grow up and tend to judge others throughout the rest of their lives. Sad.
I am glad that I am perfectly happy without needing to judge other peoples' actions. I just wish everyone felt the same way.
