Have you ever met a popular person and judged them? Maybe they had more friends than you or could sing way better. Regardless, they seem like they have it all together. Today I learned that even the kids who seem like they have it all together have problems just like the rest of us. There is this kid at my school who has anything a high school kid could want. He's popular, has girls hanging around him all the time, he's smart, he's good at practically everything and he gets all A's. Unfortunately, We got off on the wrong foot at the beginning of the school year and ever since I have thought of him as a cold-hearted rich kid and a total snob. Today I learned that he had problems just like the rest of us. I was in my end of the day class sitting down as usual when I saw him start to cry. His face was all red and he was sniffling really hard. I felt so bad for him. All through the class period he kept getting up and blowing his nose. This really struck me because the guy that I thought had it all together has feelings and problems. Look around at the popular kids in your school. They may be hurting and you just may not see it because its a game of pretend. It's easier to play pretend than to face the facts. But when the masks fall off you find that those who you thought had no problems are going through more than you think. Now I have seen both sides and I know that people aren't who you think they are. Don't judge a book by its cover because sometimes the least pretty books have the best story.
Bye!
