I found out one of the things that I struggle with. My mouth. I have so much thought going on all the time, and when I conjure up a conclusion about how someone acts... it's often times not what I want to be noted for. I'm not talking about anything bad, and to most people, it's no big deal, but I kinda belittled this kid in my class today. He was picking on this kid for "knowing too much"... now it's just kids like this that make high-school so superficial all the time. He deliberately cast this kid out just because he didn't act in a way that perfectly pleased his little group of friends. This is probably the dumbest, most cliche, and unintelligent of the mannerisms of teenagers. It's the same deal with the girl that sits behind me. It's my job (as a follower of Christ at least) to love people, but this girl picks fights, gossips in a blatantly hateful fashion and makes enemies in spades before she can make a single friend. I just felt like writing this girl a note saying something like, "As one of your peers, and not to be hypocritical because I'm guilty too, but I think you have alot of growing up to do... and I think you need to learn how to respect for the person you get to know them as, not a stylish, biased first impression." Of course, had I have said this, she probably would've gotten furious at me and said something to the affect of, "Okay you don't know me, so don't judge me, I'm just trying to be nice and you don't know me." Followed by several slurs of curse words and obscenities... however, I know this girl "has a good time" in high-school (and by that I mean drinks and does drugs) and that makes her defensive to any criticism or even advice. *Sigh* Where was Laurie today? Where were you today Laurie? Anyways, thank you guys for being here to hear what I have to say, and have a marvelous week. (P.S, My interview went well... keep your fingers crossed, I'll know if I got the job on Friday)
