So I have grown into this world seeing how judgemental our society can be. Judgement and prejudice towards race, sexual preference and physical abilities to say the least. Recently, I have seen in the news how Mexican people are publically beating the so-called "emo" kids. What is an emo kid by the way? Well, they wear skinny jeans, crazy hair and listen to heavy metal on their IPods all day while they take pictures with knives and stuff. They have grown somehow depressed with their own lifes and have the need to rebel against society on a quiet manner.
So how all of this affects us as a whole? They don't. Then why do we feel the need to beat them or criticize them for what they are and CHOSE to be. If they are not affecting anyone but themselves why should we dare to feel like we need to take some action about it. Lets begin to look at ourselves in the mirror and see if we are as "weird" as the emo kids are.
Being different is not bad. I would so rather be an emo kid and be original and stand for what I believe (even if it stands for an anti-social and self-destructive way) than to pretend to be like anyone else just for the plain fact that it seems to be the norm society tells you to be.
Lets be more open-minded and accept people for who they are. As long as their behavior and they life style does not affect anyone but themselves, it is a very respectable way to live, at least in my opinion.
