Sometimes I have to stop myself, &remember
that I'm only a teenager, and that all this is only going to be
a foolish memory someday. Recently many of us know that one
of the most inspirational speakers a lot of us have ever heard had
come and talked to us at our school, Marc Elliot. The saying he
lives by really affected me. “Live and let live” A lot
of us totally agree with exactly what he said, but none of us
really live by it, especially me. We all have flaws, whether it be
a zit on your face, saying the wrong answer in class, or maybe even
the simplest thing like a bad hair day. Most of us girls think that
that’s the end of the world that no guy will ever want to
talk to us if we have a minor flaw on our face for a few days. I
would know, I’m one of those girls. So lately I’ve
really been thinking. Why do we care so much about what people
think of us? Everyone has “those days.” So why do we
think it’s okay to judge others on anything they do
intheir life? Or anything that happens in
their life? We all live In a world of
judgment a society we can’t go a day without making a comment
on someone elses wardrobe, hair style, or personality. Its time we
stop judging, and its time we stop caring. We are all teenagers,
all going through different things, but at the same time knowing
exactly how you feel. Most of us will go on with our own lives
after high school, sticking with the friends that didn’t care
about that bad hair day or that week you had a huge zit. We have
our whole entire lives ahead of us, and to care about what other
people think is a waste of that precious time. Don’t worry
about that girl that called you ugly, or that guy or girl you think
is cute, because in ten years when you look back on how you went
through high school, you’re going to regret it. You have so
many years to find the right person you want to spend your life
with. Stop constantly thinking youre never going to find the
perfect relationship? You’re in HIGH SCHOOL. It’s the
times you make memories with your bestfriends, do stupid things
that are totally worth getting in trouble for and loving the right
people that have always been there for you from the beginning.
I don’t know about anyone else, but its time I start to
“live and let live.”
