I'm sure there will be several posts today. It seems that since we're nearing the end of the year, and hitting finals, my teachers are reducing homework. In simple terms, i have a lot more free time and less homework.
I wasn't going to write about this, but i'm all sorts of too infuriated to pass. What is wrong with people, that they think they can be major jerks anytime? Please tell me what's wrong with them, how to fix it, and who to blame for their atrocious behavior. I'm serious, something is wrong with them if they think they can be rude to everyone they see. What happened to respect? Being nice? Treating others how you want to be treated? Goodness, it isn't that hard.
Okay so, over the past few days, some stuff has happened. This kid beat up my friends, my other friend was made fun of again, and so much more. Honestly, i can't stand to see this happen. What i can't stand more is that i'm not close enough to do anything. But really, since when does someone think they can do that? It just isn't acceptable. So my friends muslim. Big deal. That has nothing to do with how she is as a person. She isn't shoving her religion down your throat, she isn't a terrorist or any other thing you can come up with. She's a person. With feelings, a heart, amazing dance moves and she's funny. She's just like everyone else except she wear a scarf and long sleeves/pants. She's still religious just like tons of people, celebrates her holidays normally, eats the same food, lives in the same damn country. So seriously, what makes you think it's okay to beat on someone who is so similar to you? If you're going to make fun of someone for being "different", then make fun of everyone BECAUSE NONE OF US ARE THE SAME NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE WANT TO BE. It just makes me so mad that people try to tear others down for who they are. On to the kid who thinks they can beat my best friends up. I don't know where his momma messed up, or where someone told him it was okay, but it's not. I'd so love to tell him that, and i would gladly say it to his face. Beating someone isn't right. It makes you feel tough? You think you're all bad ass now? Well let me inform you, you arent. Beating someone takes you farther and farther away from being a man. If you think doing that to someone will get you anywhere, you are hopelessly wrong.
Being nice isn't that hard. Giving compliments, helping out, even smiling is so simple. All of those things brighten someones day a bit, and hell, it'll even make you feel better. It just isn't that hard. It's called doing the right thing; trying to improve the world. Don't get me wrong, i'm not some hippie. But there is nothing wrong with trying to be nice to everyone.
Last thing that is more personal, and only a little related. See, with all that's happened to my friends recently and years before, i want so badly to hate the people who have hurt them. But i just can't find it in myself to hate them; i honestly can't. I don't like them, but i just can't hate them. Even people who have done really bad things. I'm just too nice to hate them. My conscience would kill me if i did.
