Hey guys. So today, the topic is names.
Calling people names whether you think so or not is hurtful.
Sometimes, even when I'm joking around with my friends, and they say something like "you have no friends, lonerrr" I get hurt. I never acknowledge it because I know they will just call me a spaz and say I overreact.
Well it's okay to have these feelings.
I know, I know. I'm a teenager, and it's hard to stop calling people names.
Like I knew this girl, and in school I was completely and totally stuck on what to do. She obviously has some issues, and no one in the class liked her. She came off as kind of weird to me, but she would "joke" around with people in the class that didn't know her. I knew that if I talked to her, I would end up in an argument with her, because I didn't agree with her views, so I kept my mouth shut whenever people would talk to her, or even if she joined my friends and my conversation. She began to be rude to me, but I let it go. I decided I would only be mean to her if I was defending myself, which I did.
That solved every issue I had with her.
She went around class insulting people in front of the teacher, and the teacher wouldn't do anything. The teacher just sat there even as she called a person a very racist name.
She eventually got expelled, but that's beyond the point.
The point is, if you have nothing good to say
DON'T SAY IT AT ALL.
The way I handled things got around the school, and I was respected for my choice to not be rude to her.
I'm glad I was because I knew that if I said something, a little thing that starts with D and rhymes with Llama
would happen.
So if you have a comment, don't try to get attention or be the funny person in the room.
Just keep it to yourself.
With love,
Kaci<3
