Respect

     When playing any sport there will be a coach who is dedicating their time to you. Rolling your eyes when they comment on a wrong move doesn’t give you a reason to hit them like you want, so instead you roll your eyes and walk away. You might as well of decked your coach.

      At  our school, there seems to be a lack of respect and communication. Everything disrespectful from gossiping to harassing. There doesn’t seem to be any common knowledge rules of respect. If your teacher tells you that your answer wasn’t correct that isn’t an attack on you as a person or your overall abilities. The goal is just simply to help. If you feel that you have been attacked by your teacher’s words the mature choice is to talk directly to the teacher, respectfully.

      Yet in our generation seems to be easiest to tell it to your friend. The never ending saying that two wrong don’t make a right is a reference to having endless respect even towards someone who has disrespected you. When your coach tries to help you improve a movement you don’t roll your eyes and look away, you look into the eyes of your mentor and take in the words being said to you. Most people don’t just simply get a thrill from hearing themselves talk. The doors of communication are always open if one somehow closes pry the door back open.

     You have to always remember the fact that people talk. When you tell your friend “Oh my goodness, she looks awful today.” Chances are it’s going to come back around to that girl. Bullying has become a natural part of our society and is thought of as something that is rare not to run into in a lifetime.  It’s insanity that disrespect to an extreme level should just be someone you expect in your day to day life.

    It does not shoot first then ask questions.

    Or not to ask for permission but to beg for forgiveness.

    You should grow up and respects those around you. The only story you know about the girl who sits in front of you in your math class is how many times a week she puts her hair up not her life. Not who she is, her story, her strengths, weaknesses, or the way she wishes to be seen.
