yeah...

We have all been subject to judgment, and we are all guilty of judging.
I'll be honest, if I see an old man sitting on his porch watching the world go by, i've been guilty more than once of speeding my bike up and saying "creeper" under my breath.

But here's the fact of the matter.

Whether you know it or not, or whether you want to admit it, we have ALL judged.

So stop sitting around telling your neighbor that so-and-so down the street did it with whats-his-face downtown and she's obviously a slut because DUH she's slept around with like EVERY guy. At least that's what facebook is telling me. JUST STOP.

Or OMG did you hear about the new girl? She looks like she's on drugs or something. Guess what? Not every person can afford to have make-up or that new hollister shirt or your precious flat iron. Not every girl has had the perfect little past with everything she wants. Maybe she's been giving up new shoes for 2 years just so her mom could finally afford a surgery that would eventually save her life.

Believe me don't think I'm not preaching to myself here. I'm guilty of this and MORE! I'm just SICK AND TIRED of it and the petty gossip that goes through our schools and all the kids that are so scared to come to school in the morning because they're so tired of being teased, or beat up, or laughed at, or sick of not having a friend in the whole school because everyone else is too afraid of losing their perfect image of the star football player that can have any girl he wants, or that smart girl with all her smart friends that are "studying for their next test" but are secretly laughing at her behind their books. I've been that girl that sits by herself for months. Anyone who went to a new school KNOWS how it feels to be that kid that has always been stared at because not a single person ever took the time to get to know who they really are and what they've been through.. How could ANYONE ever want to put someone through that? It makes me sick to think about it.

Because no matter how much homework you have, or how many friends you have to hang out with, that kid sitting by them self at that table in the corner may be just searching for ONE person to come and say "Hey, come sit with us!". Maybe they say no, but believe me, you will never understand how much those five words could mean in the rest of their day.

You will never understand what everyone's been through, so stop acting like you do.
