Who’s ‘Cool’ in School?
By: Styx © 2006
Discrimination and Bullying are growing problems that are affecting a lot of kids emotionally and physically. Discrimination and Bullying in schools should be banned or closely watched. “Nerds” or “Geeks” or “Weirdoes” just don't fit in and are just not ‘cool’ enough to have friends according to preps or popular kids. Popular Kids can include in some schools: The Rich Kids, The Jocks, and the kids that are good looking. Its just wrong. It needs to be stopped I mean in some schools kids have gotten so depressed over it they have committed suicide or taken up drugs! 20% of kids in a school are at the bottom of the “Popularity Scale” I base this on facts and personal experience. I AM in that 20%. I get teased and im just getting sick of it. I get in trouble for saying things to the preps and they don't get in trouble in anyway. Im just tired, i want this to stop. Sure having friends is good but discriminating is wrong and illegal. Please people stop bullying & discriminating we are all people you know. We all cant afford the ‘coolest’ clothes and the ‘In’ items like $200 shoes. My friends wear Converse shoes which are supposedly ‘Cool’ shoes and they get told that they aren’t ‘cool’ enough to wear those kind of shoes. Some people claim that we don’t want to be ‘cool’. That is the truth we don't want to be cool but we want discrimination to stop immediately. Some of the ‘Unpopular Kids’ are put on medication for depression because of this. Costing parents money that they cant afford to waste. That's practically stealing in a way and some preps can afford that but most of us “Unpopular” Kids cant. Please let this be a warning to all bullies and discriminators, You cant do this forever, in the real world, this is ILLEGAL. If you want to throw this in the trash that's fine with me just think about this.

I kind of understand. I'm a nerd, but truely, I don't care what the 'cool' kids think. I'm in the high-end classes getting good grades, and they tend to fail the low-end classes.
When they pick on me, I just ignore them. They seem to have 10-second attention spans, so they lose interest and go away. If that doesn't work, I tell my parents or teachers that like me for some reason and listen to them scream at the jerk.

Yeah, they should be careful. If you threaten or beat up people later as an adult, you can have assault charges and lawsuits. Plus nerds tend to one day become bosses and employers.

It's a real shame that people refuse to treat each other as equals. Very saddening that someone considers themselves higher than someone else because they 'look better', or are stronger.

People who are vain and consider themselves to be better looking than others are the ugliest type of people out there. And the fact that so many of those people attend public school is another reason.

But there's no single place to lay blame. I'll explain, but look, I'll refer to them as "Popular kids" and "Unpopular kids". A wide sweeping generalization, I know.

Popular people may be vain and conceited, true. But unpopular people are just as wrong for not accepting them as much as possible, even with being treated unfairly. I swear, if people would follow the Golden Rule more often, the world would be a much better place. Because nobody WANTS to be treated like that.

The best thing I can imagine for people like bullies, is to hope they continue to act as such after they've become adults and hopefully get prosecuted for their acts. The only way to stop that step from happening, though, is for them to realize it's wrong to treat people that way.

Sad that they don't want to give a flaming flip otherwise, and contunie...

[Bluestar]

No it just means that kids should be treated as equals

[Res]

Yeah. The case should be one person looks at anotther and says "We're equals, regardless of how you look or how smart I am, we're both human beings and should treat each other with kindness and respect."

Anyway, it's a real shame with people make fun of others when they do not deserve it. I mean, I rarely make fun of people. Only when they are completely asking for it do I ever do it. Or sometimes when that person is a jerk and deserves it. Lol.
