This blog is for the use of 8th grade students to share and improve their writing. The students will respond to novel discussions and will choose topics of interest to blog about and I will moderate and administrate their posts. Our goal is to share our voices with an authentic audience who will provide us feedback on our thoughts. We hope you enjoy our work!

If we were the same color, life wouldn't be easier.
If we were all the same color, life would not be easier. It is true that if we were all the same color people wouldn't be able to be racist with one another, but they will still make fun of you for other things such as, height, weight, how you talk, how you dress etc. People will try to find something else to make fun of them for, and that is the truth. The people who have to go through this, won't get away from it just because we're all the same color. What I have seen in this world, people don't make fun of one another because of their color, they make fun of them because of how they dress/act. I'm not saying it doesn't happen in the world, but I have seen very little of this happening. I see people get made fun of because of how they dress and how they act. Look at the people who have committed suicide, their reason for it wasn't because of others making fun of them because of their color, the reason was others kept torturing the person and making fun of them because of how they dress, act, look, talk, everything. They kept pointing out the person's flaws and never stopped, this caused that person to give up and commit suicide. In today's world, you can't please anyone no matter what you do to change yourself.

Michelle,
ReplyDeleteYou have a very good point! Just eliminating one way of judging someone will not get rid of judging people altogether. There are still many different ways to point out a person's flaws. I loved your ending sentence, it really sums up the pressure that society pushes on us.

Thank you!
DeleteI agree with you completly no matter what you do to change yourself you can't please everyone. Everyone has their own opinions and kids try to change themselves to fit the mold of the so called popular kids. But once you start to not care what others think of you and your happy with yourself you find real friends who try not to change you. If you keep changing yourself who are you really? Your changing so much that you forget who you really are, or you become misirable.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you if people all became the same color it would not be better it would be boring you would see the same things everyday. Individuality is key to the world just be yourself.
