WONDER ABOUT THE FUTURE
I want to start something new. Something that will change high school, work, and life dramatically. How do we do this?
We stop stereotyping and judging people. So many times have people attempted to make a difference. But now it is my turn and I am willing to take a step and put my heart into it.
This has become my life goal and I don't care how long it takes me.
The objective: To not classify people into groups such as "nerds", "preps", "emos", "jocks", etc.
A solution- Call people by their names, if you don't know they're name or cannot describe them using their name, describe what they are wearing [jeans, "something something" t-shirt.]
Easy enough? I think so.
The problem: I'm not sure how to say this so let me give an example- You see a person wearing all black, black nail polish and listening to their ipod. Immediate thought-that person is "emo".
Another example- You see a person walking out of Hollister with blond hair. Immediate thought- "prep".
The fact: Everybody is interested in many different things. I have a friend that people classify as "emo" and she plays basketball [which people classify as something a "jock" would do].
I have another friend where cheerleading is her life and she also loves the rock band My Chemical Romance. Not expected right?
THAT'S THE THING.
NO ONE can be "classified" and put into "groups".
It makes us sound like a bunch of insects being put into a Kingdom, Phylum, Class, etc.
THE ACT: When you see someone that fits a "stereotype", give them the benefit of the doubt. When describing someone, use the outfits they have worn before and describe their hairstyles, don't classify them.
THE EFFECT: Unity between people of the world. Less violence in schools and work. PEACE.
WE ARE THE FUTURE.
Join us as we make a difference.
