What’s ONE criticizing comment?
Walking down a high school hallway, witness Amy Barber sees a group or girls harassing a girl younger than them. After further investigation, Amy found that the only crime the girl did was wear something they did not like. Wanting more information, Amy found kids wearing what many would say “plain” clothes were judging people that wore “fancy” clothes and looked “perfect” everyday and calling them braggers and “stuck-ups”. But have any of these students put themselves in the other person’s shoes?
Students get the most judgment and intimidation they will ever get in their whole lives at the place where they are supposed to feel safe and not pressured- school. Students are judged on a daily basis by not only what they wear, but also what they enjoy doing and sometimes even by what they are good/ bad at. …show more content…
For example, what if those kids that are wearing what someone might say “plain clothes” (T-shirt, jeans, and tennis shoes), actually just decided they want to be comfy and relaxed that day, or they can't afford expensive clothing, or they’re saving money for something big and not wasting money on random clothes, or this kind of clothing is just “not their thing”?
And when you look at the point of view from the kids that wear “fancy” clothes, they also have reasons to why they are wearing them. Who can blame them if their parents buy these kind of clothes for them and insist on them to dress that way everyday? Of what if they feel like they are expressing themselves, dressing that way?
Sometimes, it's not what people are wearing that is wrong. Sometimes it's us who do not know the person well and judge
