You Don't Know What People Go Through...

“Don’t judge a book by its cover.” I’m sure a lot of you have heard this quote, and know exactly what it means. Basically, this quote is saying don’t be judgmental. There are so many people in this world that will take one look at you and judge you. The crazy thing is they don’t even know you. People judge you based on many things, your clothes, your looks, and the amount of money you have, and sadly even your race. The unbelievable part is they have no idea what you’re going through. For example, I remember in 6th grade I had this boy in my class named Christopher. Everyone always made fun of him, and called him weird. They would always say he smelled really bad, and would tell him to go to Wal-Mart and buy some deodorant. What they didn’t know is, both of his parents smoked around him in the house. He had tried many times to get them to stop, but they never listened. How did I find out? He told me because I was nice to him and was one of his few friends. I didn’t care what people thought.

You don’t know what people are going through; it could be a really tough time in their life. So remember, don’t judge someone before you even know them.

    There was this kid named Brandon at my elementary and he basically went through the same thing as Christopher . All the people in my class would make fun of him , and on Christmas , he was my secret Santa . Everyone made fun of me , so I looked at them & said " He's nice and gave me a nice present ! You guys are dumb . " Then I went to sit next to him :)
