If you've made it this far, congratulations. That was the worst opening to a blog. EVER. Sometimes stream of conscious doesn't quite work out.
Anyways, there was a reason I threw up in my mouth. I saw the most disgusting, most inappropriate, most disheartening thing I have seen in my time at Skyline. I watched as a group of "popular's" (I can't call them popular, I don't like them, they're not popular with me) put down and tease a mentally challenged girl. If that doesn't already make your stomach churn with distaste, there is something wrong with you.
I said something like "Go fuck yourselves you self-aggrandizing douchebags", but I don't believe they heard me. I kind of a pussy and didn't want my ass beat. By the time I had said that, the girl was already running away in tears.
It's disappointing that a group of kids growing up in such an affluent and overall well-educated area could be so shallow and pathetic as to prop themselves up by putting down "the retard". But hey, we don't do anything to stop it. Even I pussed out of helping.
After all of this had happened, I went to tell my friend what happened. All he had to tell me was "that's just the way it is."
NO! It's not the way it should be! Why should we just live our lives acquiesce to shit like this? We shouldn't, we should look down on behavior like this, and try to correct it when we see it.
This isn't a plea for political-correctness, or acceptance, this is me begging for civility. Use your fucking head, do you think that it's okay to harm the harmless or tease the weaker? I don't know what people are thinking. I guess I never will.
-Schleg!
