In today’s society, there are labels for every single person. Whether it is jock, prep, burn out, nerd, geek, or even queer, these labels can sometimes hurt. Just because a person doesn’t fit into another person’s idea of how they should be, that shouldn’t give them the right to stamp a label on their forehead. People act like being different is a crime, an unlawful act against society.
I have been a victim of this process my whole life. I was labeled as gay, queer, homo, and many other names, just because I am different. People will walk down the hallways at school and look at me, point, laugh, and even hit me, and I always ask myself the same question “What did I ever do to that person?” I have never understood why they would treat me like that, just because I didn’t act like every other guy at my school. I’m not gay and people just can’t accept I’m different.
People teasing me has scarred me forever, those nights I spent wishing I was dead. So words of advice to people, whenever you think about teasing someone don’t. You never know what kind of pain your causing.
