Respecting Others

By

                        Maybe because we live so much of our lives in the digital world that it is so easy to hide behind our computers and become anonymous. It seems like we have forgotten how to respect each other. You have strangers bullying people online, you go to a store and people become enraged if someone bumps into them, in restaurants people are yelling and screaming at the staff if they have to wait or if their order is incorrect. What happened to when we used to show respect to others. When we helped our neighbors, and when someone was in need, we would not hesitate to help them. Were we not taught that if we wanted respect that we had to show respect to others even when they didn't respect us? Has it become difficult for us to accept the fact that we are not the center of the universe, and everything does not revolve around us.? Have we forgotten that when we are nice to others, not only does it make us feel great it makes the other person feel good too? So, lets quit hiding behind our computer screens and slow down and think about how our actions and words might affect someone, because we never know who may be watching how we treat others. Maybe next time instead of being disrespectful to someone try getting to know them. You just might make a knew friend.

Everybody is unique

By
                  I have talked about this before, but it is important to discuss it again.   It used to be that body image was usually something that affected mostly girls and young women, however more recently we are seeing more boys and young men dealing with it. With more access to social media young people are flooded with images of the perfect body. They believe that they have to look like these people. They are also sometimes confronted with hurtful comments. They can feel like they are unworthy or unloved. This can lead to physical and mental problems. This can also lead to depression and eating disorders. This can also lead to them trying dangerous things to look perfect. This can also lead to long term problems. As someone who has and sometimes still do, deals with body image negativity, we have to break the cycle. We should never compare one to another. Everyone is special and unique. Everyone needs to realize that their ...

Losing Sight Of Who You Are

By
                       In the chaos of todays world it is easy to lose sight of who you are. Do you look in the mirror and not recognize who you are? I'm not talking about physical appearance. Society tells us that we are are suppose to be a certain type of person and to act a certain way. Society tells us that it is not okay to disappoint anyone,  so sometimes we take on more than we can handle. Society teaches us to never say no or to never help someone even though we just can not handle one more thing, because that would be letting others down. We are expected to be like robots or puppets and not ever show our emotions. We are expected to be perfect. If we ask for help especially mental many times we are judged and criticized, because we are suppose to be strong enough to handle anything. We were not created to be perfect. We all fall down sometimes. We hurt. we get angry, we feel overwhelmed, we even feel lost at times...
