The Useless Tree
The theme topic is judgment. Judgment is when you are making assumptions on a person or living being based on their looks or personality. For example, if a person looks, dresses ugly or looks poor in life they might actually be rich. But they just want to be an individual. People's judgment might hurt the person very deeply. while in life they won't show it to you. Judging people isn't good because that person might get hurt emotionally and maybe physically too.

One possible answer on why they judge others is because they are jealous at that person. Another possible answer is because the person is envious of you or he/she doesn't have a good relationship with you so they judge you because you might have something that they want or they just find it fun to judge you since you are a social outcast. An example for my second possible answer is in a T.V show series called Danny Phantom, Sam Manson and another girl named Paulina Shanchez judge each other because they are the opposite of each other. Paulina Shanchez is popular, beautiful, rude, rich, cheerleader captain and extremely girly. Sam Manson is a loser, freak, rich, goth, friends of Danny Phantom/Danny Fenton, and a ultra recyclo vegetarian. The other person Danny is alike Sam in some ways but not the same Danny is Sam's best friend he is also considered a loser and freak since his parents job for a living is ghost hunting but he is also whimpy, shy and quiet. He is like that but he is also the teen ghost superhero in Amity Park saving his home from evil ghosts that threatens Amity Park after a freak accident in his parents ghost hunting
