Do Not Judge a Person by their Appearance
Do Not Judge a Person by there Appearance
Everyone has heard the saying “Never judge a book by its cover.” Well, that certainly is true when applied to everyday life. Most of us tend to look at one’s external appearance and draw a short conclusion on their character when we first observe them.
Being in school, this always happens. No matter if a person has the sweetest personality, if his or her appearance is not good people judge them on only that fact. There have been many circumstances I have run into when someone is judging another person. In third grade there was this girl named Candi. She was the sweetest girl in my class, but because she had red hair she got made fun of by other students. We all sat in alphabetical order so the teacher could learn our names. It happened to be I was the girl sitting next to her. I always felt bad for her and tried being her friend, but she always thought I was just being sarcastic and did not really want to be her friend. I tried many times walking up to her and start a conversation, but she never wanted to talk back. I also tried playing with her a recess, but she just stood there not saying anything. As years went on the same thing always happened. New people would be in her class, and she still always got made fun of. Finally, she was sick of it and ran out the class crying and never came back. The next few weeks went on and still she did not appear in class. Our teacher told us she was going to be home taught. Everyone realized that because of their attitude towards her she was never going to go to school and have the experience that they had. This made everyone think twice about saying something to someone before knowing their personality.
People are judged on many factors, their outer appearance, their color, their religion, and their viewpoints. When we look at these factors and judge a person solely on them we can affect future generations. These prejudices can be passed on to our children with many
