Today, we live in a cruel world filled with more hate than love. It's almost as if it has become cool to make others feel bad about themselves. Which is definitely not okay. Girls, we fight over the dumbest reasons and tear others apart as if it is supposed to make us feel better about ourselves. I think that we need to put a stop to it. Its getting old and it was never really cool to begin with.

Being cruel to someone just because they're different or don't agree with the things you believe in does not mean you have the right to treat them like the dirt under your feet. It is the same thing with the racial issues that are currently overtaking the world. The color of someone's skin should not determine the amount of respect they get. We all deserve equal respect because we are all human and should be treated kindly.

We should be relying on God more. He can fix anything, whether it be a school bullying problem or terrorist attacks on the great nation in which we live. We need to put Him at the center of all our lives again.

Life has become more about materialistic things than the things that actually matter. No, we do not need the newest iPhone, and no, we do need to look better than our boyfriends' ex everyday. What we do need is kind hearts, genuine respect for authority and our peers, and appreciation for the people who are always there for us. When is the last time you hugged your parents and thanked them for all that they do? Trust me when I say they do more for you than you think. We should start being more aware of other peoples' feelings and think about what we say before we actually say it. Words hurt more than you think.

People should not feel that suicide is the only way to escape our hurtful words. We should be making life enjoyable for each other. Our classmates shouldn't be dreading school because they're afraid of being teased. Don't you see a problem there? People are afraid to live life the way they want out of fear of being judged and humiliated. Let's make a change and be better people. It's up to us to make America great again.
