Hey Whyvillians,

Do you remember when you were a little kid and you were friends with everybody? Remember when it didn't matter what anybody looked like? If they were overweight, wore weird clothes, or said weird things, it didn't matter because stuff like that doesn't matter to little kids. They always take time to see the good inside.

But now that you're older, are you still friends with everybody? Does it still not matter what they look like, or whom they hang out with? Do you still take the time to see the good inside? Or do you just judge people as soon at they walk into your life? For those of you who still take time to do those things, then you should be very proud of yourself. But for those of you who don't. I think that you should take the time to ask yourself these questions. I know you may be thinking what is she trying to prove? And I know how those people who judge other people think, because I used to be one of them.

I was always with the "in" crowd, and I never took the time of day to get to know other people in my class. When I mean the other people in my class, I mean the people who aren't the "in" crowd. But as time went by, I realized that I wasn't like the other people that I hung around with anymore, but most importantly, I wasn't happy. They were boy CRAZY! Always cautious of what they said so they wouldn't get made fun of. Always caring about how they looked. But incase you haven't noticed, there is more to life then those things!

Seeing as I wasn't happy, I decided to get to know the other girls in my class that didn't care about that. And as I got to know them more and hang out with them more, we became great friends, and I felt good about myself, and didn't care what the other people thought of me. I was having fun at school, and realized, that those girls are just like any other everyday girl. Except that they don't care about how they look, and what people think of them.

In this article I told you about me. And I'm not trying you make you somebody that I think you should be, don't get me wrong. If this article is offensive to you, I didn't mean for it to be. I'm just saying that you shouldn't worry about what people think of you, and you shouldn't change yourself for other people. You cannot be happy with other people until you are happy with yourself. So take the time and get to know everybody. You may be surprised what the results are.

Thank you for taking the time to read my article,
GGbabe
