Don't judge.
So what if he acts a little different?
So what if he lives up to your standards as "strange"?
Doesn't the fact that he's human too mean anything to you?
Author notes
This is about a boy I met at the grocery store earlier today. He had some kind of mental illness, and I was wondering about what he has to go through every day....Hell, even the people around him at that very moment were judging him.
He told me his name was Scott and that he had a pet cat named Boots. He offered me some gum too...it was spearmint flavored.

Yes, brilliant. So few words. Never a truer word said. Just brilliant. -

This is a very 'to the point' poem, and I think it says a lot in such few words.
Why DO people make such a fuss about people who act different?
is it a crime that they should live the way they want instead of conforming to society?
Very good poem Bella, and thank you for the comments on my column..
Oh, and by the way... don't be scared of high school... just never forget who you are you will do just fine.

How shweet. I know what you're thinking. Wasn't there a lady in a wheelchair at hte movies last night? She was obviously metally ill - and I got mad at myself for being uncomfortable as an immediate reaction.
It's weird how people shun people. Ecspecially when those in question are really, really sweet, kinder and more innocent than ajust about any other person you can meet.
