Why do people think their image is more important then reaching out to someone who is lonely?
Why are people so close-minded?
Why is it so hard to compliment someone instead of put them down?
It really bothers me that because someone is different society thinks being seen talking to that person will ruin their "image". When in all reality reaching out to someone who is alone and looks like they need a friend should boost your image. Society can't get it through their head that nobody is better than anyone just because of their sexual preference or because of the amount of money their family has. What has to happen for this thought process to change? Do teens need to start committing suicide because they can't handle the bullying? Oh wait, that is happening and still everyone only worries about how to fit in. Even if you're doing something simple like starting a conversation with someone who looks like they are having a bad day, smiling at someone and saying hi, or complimenting them you could save a life. But instead to look "cool" people decide to gang up on someone. Bonding with someone because they can be rude and judgmental and you can do that too won't make you any "real" friends. Is being nice to people really that hard? "think before you speak" "If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all" "Treat others how you would like to be treated" Why can't we all just keep our negative opinions to ourselves? We need to not be so worried about fitting in and consider what kind of person we want to be remembered as. When I die I want people to say yeah she wasn't perfect and she made mistakes, but she was there for anyone who needed a friend and always tried to cheer people up. Because when you die it won't matter if you were friends with the "cool kids" all that will matter is if you made a positive difference in someone's life. So next time you think about talking bad about someone think "Is this what I want to be remembered for?"
