I really feel the need.

Sorry guys, a bit of a rant. But i've just seen someone's Facebook status and their making fun of somebodies religion. What the hell has it got to do with them!? Even religious people have feelings. Anyway, what difference does that make to what kind of person they are? I've experienced this myself, and i'm not even religious. Just some stupid little rumour. It sickens me when I read stuff like this, because I know what it's like to be on the receiving end and it's just utter crap. It's bullying. Religion doesn't make a difference to who you are. It's just pathetic. It's horrible that some people have to bully others in order to feel a sense of achievement in themselves. I for one never judge a person, I get to know them first. I just wish more people would be like that. They know a little detail about them, not their story. Perhaps they've been through a lot in life and they've found comfort in God, or another type of religion. It's just the same as when people find comfort in food or even music. Religion is just one tiny detail, one tiny percentage of a person. Seriously, I just wish people would stop for a minute and think- wait, this could hurt somebody. Because it's likely that it will. This post wasn't even about me, but it's annoyed me because I have experienced it. It's awful walking down the corridor and having people look at you and whispering, with you wondering what their going to say to you next. The anticipation of making it through school without being called a name. The sadness of getting to know somebody new, and just waiting for the friendship to crumble right in front of your eyes. That's happened to me, a lot. I've learnt to cope a bit now, by sticking with the people who I know love me. I'm one of the lucky ones, because I stand up for myself and I have friends. Yes, I may seem strong and confident. But my experience will be with me forever. I've gotten over it, believe you me. But i'll never forget. I lost a new friend and a forever best friend in the process. People like that are kind of hard to let go of. Like they say, it's hard to forget someone who gave you so much to remember.
