If any one out there knows what it feels like to have someone hate you. So do I. Our schools all over the nation is increasing with violence. To many fights break out. I don't know about your school, but my school has at least 2 fights a day, and I don't live in a bad community. All the fighting is about is drcrimination, racisim, or just different group members showing off. I want to be the one to help with all of the violence.

Hi
I think its sad that KIDS are already racists! My school doesn't have very many fights, probably because there is such a diversity of cultures, and we have assemblies and classes on bullying and harrasment. We learned that the power is really with people. If no one encourages fights, or if people try to stop them, then they won't happen! People want power, and if people look down on them for fighting, they'll stop. Good luck, stay strong, and encourage your friends to stand up for themselves and others!
We need to be bigger people
I am of the oppinion that people who have this kind of behaviour are small minded. so if you can come up with a way to get things in to perspective for people they will probably see better ways of acting. The perspective that any one no matter the color or race can be squashed in the blink of an eye. die from something stupid like a car accident or an unexpected sickness, then what? where do people find themselves. Unless they are god or indestructible they are also sbject to this. the only way to be big overall is to think as a unity of human kind, and even then we could all be wiped out by a commet or something of the sort. teach people to whey things out with pure logic. check out my project called change the world. Become involved read and research. change the world.
Speak Out
I see where you are coming from because my school is somewhat the same. I mean we dont have fights every single day but there is not a week that goes by without an altercation leading up to a fight, i guess also its because we have a really good support system at my school. There are just certain people in the world who are stubborn and dont't like to hear the truth. My advice for you is to speak about how you truly feel. Talk your peers about the ongoing issue. Start a club- peer mediation that can help simmer and prevent altercations from occuring . We live in a world today where we had to fight, each culture, to get to where we are today and it's not right that when we've made it we want to but another race, that went through our same struggle, down. I jus don't understand it. It's really good that you want to change it becuase you can be a voice to those who want to say something about it but just dont have the courage. Remember it only takes one person.
hey
I can give you advice.. which is stay your behind far away from them. Dont get involved you might still be alive. Because I live in a terrible neighborhood. Everynight imagine sleeping hearing gunshots right in front of your door. Hearing ambulances and cops. You think you have it bad.. i dont think that you have been experienced like i have been before.
holla back at me
fez
Understanding
I do, understand what your saying..I did go throw the same,but guess what?it's all up to you, to do something, start with your mind, react with maturity, at least, you will be the one to put an impact on that.
I wish you luck and be strong, you are not alone...
