Disrespect.

  I'm not a perfect human being, no one is. My view on life is to treat others the way you want to be treated. Now, do I always follow that rule? No. I'd like to say I do, but I don't. Sometimes out of anger or just plain ignorance I can be disrespectful, rude, and not treat some fairly. But I'd like to think that something like that doesn't happen to often and can be fixed once I realize I made a mistake.


  Now, you're probably wondering what my point is with this? I'll get to that. If you are someone who talks to me just about everyday, you normally hear me complain and rant on about how much I hate riding the bus to & from school. But in reality it really isn't all too terrible (though, I strongly believe there are more dignified methods of transportation..). I'll smile and talk with whoever wants to talk with me, and when I'm not speaking to anyone I'll normally just sit there and mind my own business, put in some headphones and zone out.

  Well today was one of those days where I decided to listen to my music and just mind my own business. When two disrespectful girls in front of me decided to say some things they thought I wouldn't be listening to. Only did they not know that my headphones were turned down extremely low and I could every little thing they had said.

  "The highlights in her hair are growing out, I bet she can't afford to get new ones."
  "Yeah, probably not, I've seen that dinky little house she gets dropped off at everyday."
  "Well it least it looks like she's gotten enough to eat."
  "HEY! That was mean! Hahaha"
  "It can't be too mean since I made you laugh!"
  "I don't know what gives her the right to sit on our seat.. Nobody's sitting with her anyways, I wonder if she even has friends"

  Want to know why they had such nice things to say about me? The bus driver told me I could sit in their seat because I'm in high school and they need to sit further up because they are in middle school. He assigned me that seat, he told me to sit there. Do their words bother me? No. The fact that they didn't even have the decency to say it when I wasn't around, that's what bothers me. The fact that a person can run their mouth about someone they don't even know, bothers me. Ladies, you can have your seat.
