Inside

There is something no one can see but we imagine we can.
The inside of someone's being.
We act like we can know each other or that we all think the same,
but the truth is no one understands anything about anyone else.
If you look at me, you see someone that agrees with the popular opinion that school sucks, and it does, but I also think that school preps us for the real world.
Unfairness, social classes, hard work, possible firing. All things we can and night encounter in our real world lives.
Most people put in a mask in front of others. Acting one way for some and another way for others. We all want to fit in. Some take the mean route, acting this way to get attention. Some take the quite route, hoping someone will notice them, in some cases before it's too late. Most fit in between, rude in some cases, quite in others. Yet all of this is a lie. All of us act this way to get attention. We want it but don't want to let others know it, lest we be ridiculed. I can see it though. It's true I've been suspended. And yes what I did was wrong, but is it any more wrong than the other kids who call people fags when they know they aren't just to get a ruse out of them. I hear most people saying yes. That to me shows that you think an emotionally unstable kid is more dangerous that a person who will tease other for their own entertainment. Those kids push others to drastic things, suicide, self harm, or other things to lessen the pain. You say the kids who commit suicide or self harm should know there's a better way, but have you thought about that maybe they already tried to find it? You say, it's just teasing, well it isn't. Some people don't understand the weight of the words they carry. They don't understand the pain they can cause someone. They laugh it off and say it's a joke when they see that person start to cry. Is it a joke when that causes someone to do something drastic though? No one can truly understand someone else. Learn that quickly, I had to.
