Only in this world can you be judged with every single bit of you that you can imagine. Your height: Who cares if you are short, since when is it a bad thing?? Your appearance: since when do you have to look like a model every time you walk out of your door?? Your personality (this is a big one): automatically if you are (for example) very musical, you are labeled an Orky-dork, a Band-o, or a wanna-be. Just because you like to be who you truly are inside, you are made fun of, bullied, and pushed into being like everybody else. That isn't okay...I know it's hard to go against the status quo, but you need to fight for your right to be yourself. It's not cool to be the one who ends up hurting other people because she has to in order not to get made fun of. Also, accept others as they are. Sure, they might (for example) love books. That gives you no right to call them a "Nerd" or a "Geek" or any other hurtful name. Think of how the other person might feel if you call them that name or if you leave them out of your group just because of their interests....I have a challenge for you. Go for a whole week without calling anyone a hurtful name and let people in your group that you normally wouldn't. I DARE YOU.
