Don't Judge A Person By Their Looks

Isn't it time to be kind?

Don't Judge A Person By Their Looks
Simple Image Resizer

Let's be real here. When we see someone walking down the street we decide what type of person they are before you even introduce yourself. We live in a world that projects women as skinny, tall with big breasts and a big butt. Now 9 times out of 10 that is NOT a reality or even possible. We judge men to be built, tall, handsome and that they look like the models on the magazine covers.

Is that really the type of society we want to live in?

To feel like every time you put on that less than cool shirt or those out of fashion jeans people will be judging the way you look. That you have to look a certain way in order to fit in, act a certain way to stay there and endure different things to excel.

Is that the type of person you want to be? Judging people because they aren't just like you? Looking at that girl that has a different body type, the boy that looks like your definition of a "nerd" and thinking you are better than them. Well newsflash, you're not.

Society tries to separate the "popular" kids versus the "unpopular". How is that fair? Everything in life is a cutthroat competition that eats at everyone to try and be better than everybody else, no matter what it takes to get there.

Would you want to be that girl in the photo above? Where the kids in the back were making fun of her because she looks a certain way, she is focusing on her studies, etc. It doesn't even matter why because that should not have been happening in the first place.

Your words hurt.

They affect the people around you.

And the decisions other people make.

Will you think twice? Will you take a look around you and decide to be an honorable person, not someone who stabs people in the back to get ahead in life? Will you realize that you will never be a good person if you continue to use your selfish personality to get ahead?

It's time to stop this pettiness that makes up our society and end the jealousy. It isn't right in general, as well as it hurts the people that surround you. That is why there is a bullying prevention day, a national suicide day because so many kids are taking their lives due to the fact that they are being hurt by the words you say.

Watch the show "13 Reasons Why", or read the book. That is a perfect example as to how ruthless and mean people are.

Do you want to be that person? The one that everyone fears because they don't even know how to make it through the day because of you? The one that people blame when you hurt someone so badly with your words and actions that they try to take their own life? Suicide is permanent, problems are temporary. Don't be such a problem in someone else's life that they believe that making a permanent decision is better than living life.

Don't take someone's life away from them.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
