Criticizing

Why does everyone have to criticize every, single thing? Why can't anyone go through a day without thinking a thought about something or someone, that can be negative or positive, when they don't even know the person?

Have you ever heard the expression, "Don't judge a book by its cover?" Everybody does!
When I was in sixth grade, there was this girl in my class (I will not menchion any names). She was slightly overweight and had a lazy eye. She didn't have much friends so my friends and I became her friend. She was really actually nice. Everyone always said all this cruel stuff about her behind her back and made up all these rumors about her when she was a good person. They didn't even know who she was. Some of them didn't even know her name. They still criticized her by the way she looked.

Sometimes there are people in this world that are generally good people, but are not the most gorgeus people in this world. Just because of that, they are criticized and made fun of when they could be the most awesome person in the world to be with.

Here is another example: I have this friend who has black hair, wears eye liner, ect. Everyone who doesn't know her, thinks she is scary somewhat. Let me tell you... She is awesome! She is such a good friend and so much fun to be around. Almost everyone that actually knows her loves her.

Sometimes, people are not critized by thier looks, but just by one small action that they did. Lets say someone got into a fight and you heard someones side of the story but not the other side. If you are friends with that one person, then you are most likely to think of the other person the way they described them to you. You will start to think of all these conclusions about the other person and how horrible they are. They could be really nice after you actually get to know them. You have no clue what that person is like if you just hear who they are thought through another persons eyes.

The thing is, I am not the innocent person in this issue. I criticize myself. Like I said before, everyone does! You might not shout it out, or be the person that spread all the rumors, but in the back of your mind when someone does or says something, you are criticizing them! I do it myself. I will even show you when I do it! My friend has an enemy and they hate each other for various reasons. She told me all the stories and I can see why she feels what she feels from what she has told me. I don't really like that girl even though I haven't even had a steady conversation with her.

So I don't really even know my point here. Alll I am saying is that everyone criticizes and it isn't a good thing. How about we all set a goal here. Try not to say bad things about people because you might not know their side of the story.

BYE!!!
