People are cruel, they are all the same. But you.. You can be different. You can change the world one step at a time. Don't be afraid to be yourself. If it means getting teased and pushed around, so be it, but never leave yourself or anyone.

This world today is all full of cruelty. It will be tomorrow and forever. Nothing can change it. I know that for a fact. People are getting judged because of their sexual orientation, their race, their clothes, their hair, and their weight. That is not right.

I am sorry for the short story but I just thought I'd express my opinion and get something up before I was banned for being inactive. Thanks!
