All's Fair in Love and War. Emphasis on War.

To all the people who bash me at school: Who cares? In 20 years will it matter if I only wore t-shirts? Will it matter that I love weightlifting? Will it matter that I, a person you barely knew, is different? No. The only thing that matters if what you do with your life. It will matter what we do for others, with our talents, and that we had some form of conviction and morals.

Every day I hear terrible things said to each other:
"That's so gay"
"You're retarded"
"Faggot"
".... is such a loser"
"Nerd"
"Douchebag"
"OMG I hate him!"

I can understand that feeling to make fun of someone you see that is different than you.  It makes you seem funny, cool, or superior.  It's bullcrap.  What if the last thing you said to someone was the final straw that leads them to suicide?  What if the kid who is fun to pick on snaps and dies or shoots someone?  What if the last thing you said to someone was cruel then you were to die?  How would you be remembered?  We don't always know it but there are consequences for everything we do.  Everything! 
Could you live with yourself if someone elses' pain or death was all your fault?

The only way for someone to be superior is if you are God or Jesus Christ and I'm 100% sure that no one at Dexter High School is either.  We claim that we wish people were nicer, no cliques, and life was like on "If You Really Knew Me."

Not such a bad sounding place right?  No stereotypes, no "popularity," no hateful things, and nothing but love for one another.
We claim that we're closer since this terrible tragity that Dexter has felt because of the loss of Nick King. 
Let's act it out.  Does it really matter that so-and-so is wearing a shirt declared "stupid?"  What if they were gone the next day?  Would you be the one posting on facebook "RIP" statuses?  How hypicritacal can you be?  Is this what anyone would want?  Life is so precious, it can be taken so quickly as we were forced to learn this past week.  Should we spend it destroying each other?
NO!  Come on people! 
The world is OURS for the taking?
Don't you realize? 
Our generation is soon to enter the world of adults, and what will we do with that?

We have the opportunity to change EVERYTHING in this world!  We could make the world so much better for everyone!  Life could be that fantasy world!  We could save so many hours of tears and replace them with doing something wonderful in this world!  We could make this a perfect place, We MUST act and make the world a beautiful world!

It is our duty as the most basic human beings to treat each other with dignity and respect!  Because, in the end, it does NOT matter that you look "smoking hot" at prom, or that Bob is different, or that someone is homosexual, someone is disabled, or that someone is the opposite of you.
In history, only moments of great or terrible things are important.  History will not record what you say about each other, but everyone of the 6.74 billion people in the world will remember you for what you do and for what you say to each other.  Every action, every word, and every thought is remembered by the person that YOU affected!

I implore you, if you think that someone is weird, keep it to yourself.
Say one compliment about every person you encounter.
Think of only the good rather that emphasizing the bad.
If you don't have anything nice to say, shut up.

We can, we must, and we WILL change the world.  Only if everyone takes up the challenge and put in the effort.
We must, we never know what the future will hold but we sure can try to make it the best thing possible.
