Everyone Is Human
Teenagers can be cruel
They can take something so innocent and beautiful and ruin it
They hurt people and do not even care
I used to be proud of what I looked like
I was proud of my religion and everything it gave me
Yet, now I hide from it
I don't let people know I am Jewish because then they bring up my nose
They notice its size
They all say, "of course you're Jewish look at your nose"
I have since become very ashamed of who I am
I want to be pretty
not the girl who when a penny is sitting on the ground is the one assumed to pick it up
I just wish that teenagers today could learn to accept
Not to criticize and ridicule
They need to learn that everyone is amazing and beautiful regardless of certain characteristics
Everyone has that thing they are ashamed of or try to hide
Everyone is human
