High School Days
It's already known by many that I am injured. The thing is, I've come to realize how difficult it is to go through a whole day without being upset in some way because of my injury. Of course my friends are calling me stupid names like crippled or gimpy or if you’re Masud, hip hop. I don’t feel the need to approach them about the name calling because they know when things are taken too far. Fact is, people who I don’t even know are starting to disrespect me by cutting me off while I'm trying to get by or calling me crippled while they walk away laughing. Funny huh? For example, a boy and his girlfriend are walking behind me and the boy figures it would be okay to say "excuse me cripple." Just cause you said excuse me doesn't make you nice after you ruined it by being ignorant and calling me a name. I don’t find anything funny about my injury. The fact that I don’t even know if I'll be able to dance again doesn’t seem to matter in anyone’s mind but my own. I understand there are going to be an abundant amount of people who are ignorant in the world. I understand that there will also be a great amount of people with kind enough hearts to at least help me out. It just amazes me how rude people our age can really be. Are people really finding joy in someone else’s pain?Wow.

Well Emily I actually do care about your injury and whether you can dance again or not. I hope you will be able to. And a lot of the kids in the hallway are stupid and jerks. You just got to ignore them or tell them to f' off. Seriously people need to have a little more courteous in the hallways...if you see someone is on crutches don't rush them just give them some damn time. Jeez. And those people shouldn't be talking because half of them move slower then anything...and they standin the stupidest places like in the center of the hallways or on the stairs...ok sorry im ranting. But i hope you get better and then when you do you can dance whenever you want :)
