Time I took stand

When I was little, everyone bullied one of my friends very harshly. Instead of bullying her ,also, I treated her nicely. The cool thing to do was to hurt her feelings. She was not able to afford some of the things that everyone else was able to afford, so other people made fun of he raggedy, stained too big clothes taunting her endlessly.

She did not smell very nice so every one held their noses when around her, telling her she smelled bad. Her hair was always ratty and oily and she was always asked if she ever washed it. They were always tormenting her with a long excruciating string of insults.

No one played with her, because like kids tend to do they acted like she had cooties and if they played with her she would infect them with some fatal disease that was not curable. My sister and I played with her. Instead of bullying her my sister and I were the only ones to accept her for who she was, because we knew that she could not help it, what her parents could afford.

When she turned into a bully, instead of being mean right back, I treated her with as much kindness as I could. Even though she was not the best person and had unfortunate circumstances, we had no right to bully her.

What would you do if you could not afford what was popular and had to suddenly lose friends because they would not accept you for who you are? Would you take it in stride? Would you not let it affect you emotional health? Would you suddenly get a wake-up call because you had treated others the way your friends are treating you? Do you give people the respect that they deserve or judge a book by its cover.

If you are treating others with disrespect, then it is not to late to quit. Do not judge a book by its cover. When you meet someone get to know them before making decisions about them. Even though someone may not have the nicest material possessions, that does not mean they do not have a rich personality. Think about your actions, because you never know when the tables will turn. Life happens and you could be at rock bottom tomorrow.
