The Survivor Effect
If this is your first time with me you can check out my
intro Blog, so you can see what Tomorrow
Won’t Suck is all about.
I
have two favorite reality shows, and I get deeply into to them. One more so
than the other, but still its pretty intense. Those two shows are Survivor and
Big Brother. Big Brother I would love to be on, and Survivor scares me, so that
probably means I should try it to help work through some fears… Anyways getting
off track.
On
Survivor, they have a group of four who are the self-appointed cool kids AND
the self-appointed prettiest people of the island. Here at Tomorrow Won’t Suck,
and I going to do my best to leave out any negative language to anyone, even if
I feel they deserve it, since that goes against what I want for this
Revolution. However, it’s a shame to see that these people have “grown up”, are
well past the high school years and are still making comments of how they will
not let anyone join their cool kid table.
One
of these four people are so pretentious, more so than I have seen on a reality
show anywhere. I am not listing any names, because you can go watch the show,
at CBS and you will be able to tell. I really
do not have to embellish to paint the picture I am trying to paint.
What
I am getting at with this article, is that when you are at school, ”cool kids” make
life sooooo much more difficult for others. I had more bad times in high school
than good. It was kind of an oppressive place for me. Getting out of high
school and into college was one of the best moments, because everyone was much
more open and understanding. People in high school really want to be cool and
fit in, and the “cool kids” are some of the worst. They want to do whatever it
takes to fit in… including picking on other people for a laugh or shunning
someone because they are different than what they are.
The
people who are going to be so vocal about not liking who you are DO NOT matter,
in the slightest. You should not let it bother you at all, I wish I could go
back and tell myself, it doesn’t matter at all what they think, and I should
know I am a good person. Since the people who really spent the time to get to
know me, enjoyed having me around, talking to me, and caring about what goes on
in your life. Not immature people, who are so concerned with how they are
viewed by their “friends” that they have to call you out because of your skin
color, sexuality, hairstyle, or clothing.
To
be fair, the uncool people out number the cool people. It is something I think
the “cool kids” are pretty aware of and they do what they can to make sure they
stay where they are on the social ladder. Which is what I love about social
experiment shows like Survivor and Big Brother, the mean and cruel never when
because of what they have done. The other members of the tribe realized that
and they came together to not be pushed around by them. So if you find yourself
in a situation where you are being bullied, leave the situation. I wish I had
left all the situations I was involved in like that, and just left. Why did I
feel like I had to sit there and listen to all the mean things they had to say?
It doesn’t make sense but I did. So leave to situation, and if this is at
school, let a teacher know, and then go to your friends. You are there to learn
and have fun and nobody should take that away from you. So ignore the people
who don’t care about you, and listen to the ones who do.
