America judges too quickly. We take one look at someone and assume we immediately know their life story. It's amazing how judgemental we've become. It's even worse in highschool. As teenagers, we assume we know everything about everyone by simply the clothes they wear and the friends they have. America needs to look deeper than the surface. For example, I dress, the stereotypical "Emo". Wear alot of black long-sleeves and always have my hair in my eyes. But, if you really knew me, you'd know I bounce off the walls with my friends and love to smile(: Today I talked to a guy who I usually wouldn't talk to. He would be labeled as a sort of "nerd." After only talking to him for only thirty minutes, I learned that he has two brothers and a sister who all graduated from Harvard University. His family has great expectations from him, but he dosen't think he can fulfil them. I assured him that he's the smartest kid I know, and that's a fact. After about a week of texting him and such, I learned much more about him than I was expecting. To think, people who just avoid the unknown for a simple thing, such as their stereotype, are missing out on new friendships. I challenge you to go out and talk to someone you don't usually talk to, and start a new bond(:
