Object A: People being hurtful towards other people just because they think that the person is weird or different.
Prejudice. One word can explain it all. A huge chunk of Earth's human population thinks that if a person doesn't have the same opinion or belief as them, then it's wrong. But for some people like this, not only is it wrong, it is evil to be different. Hey guys, remember the Holocaust, or the Civil Rights movement? Yea, those things really actually happened. Some of us on this planet we call Earth tend to forget that those things really happened! As people, we are supposed to make mistakes, but with that we are supposed to learn from those mistakes. What I do not understand is why people make the same mistakes over and over again. And treating someone poorly just because they look a little different or don't think the same way as you? It's just flat out wrong. In America we have our First Amendment right to Freedom of speech, meaning we won't get attacked for believing something different. Look at high school. That's all that teens do. If you are smart and get good grades and you don't look like a supermodel, then you will be treated poorly by someone you are nice to and you just want to be friends with. I have seen this happen first hand. A boy is nice to a girl and he is a little different, then he gets crap for it. He is treated with absolutely no respect. That really isn't fair. The gay and bisexual community, enough said. They have been fighting for respect for a very long time now. They are no different from us, so they don't deserve to be treated differently. They are people too! It's just not cool to do that to people! But we all have to realize, we aren't always going to be treated with the respect we deserve or worked hard to earn. We also have to realize that when we have the chance to be mean or disrespectful, we shouldn't do it. WE ALL DO IT. We are all guilty of getting too emotional from time to time. But who knows? Maybe if we all can catch ourselves doing this when it happens, this planet Earth will become a better place, where people don't have to literally be scared because they are different. Prejudice is everywhere. Little or small, it is serious. Help stop it.
