In today's society, you are not given many options as to what you can be or what you can look like without someone stopping you and putting you on their snapchat story or talking about you to their friends. Some people do not take the time to consider the fact that the girl they sit next to in class is wearing the same clothes because that's all she has or that the guy walking in the hallway smelling is because he may not have a shower at home.

Today, people do not care whether you are black or white. They care about the clothes you wear, how recent your J's are or how perfect your wing eye liner is because you have to be "fye." Not everyone has the talent of dong a perfect stroke of a brush; not everyone has a steady hand. So, please do not discriminate against someone who cannot do their makeup perfectly. Please do not make fun of the kid who has last year's J's on because that may be the only pair of shoes he has, and you have more pairs than he has ever owned.

Please pay attention to what you say to others, please note that some people do remember everything and that some are more tender than others. You may be able to joke around and call someone you hang out with a "hoe" but you can say it to someone you may not know so well and they take it completely to heart. Simply because you feel as if you're joking does not mean that person also takes it the same way; not everyone thinks alike.

To the kids who cannot afford things and get by with what they have, you will have greatness if you believe. If you want to achieve greatness, never give up, get an education, make something of yourself and prove to those who put you down that you can be extraordinary! To those who can afford these things, remember that mom and dad are not always going to pay for everything and hard work comes with a price. Sometimes you may have to give up a purse for a grocery list. Being on your own is not easy, but being on your own can teach you so much. It's actually a great experience and you can also be extraordiary! Do not look down on people who are not as wealthy as you, look down on those who make fun of the less fortunate, because unfortunately they have no heart.
