The social pyramid is pretty simple in our minds. On top are the are the popular kids: either the kids with the most money so they can buy friends or the best looking guys and the girls showing the most skin. Next would be their groupies - the popular kids' followers. After that would be the unnoticeable kids - the ones who never raise their hands in class and find themselves sitting alone. And on the bottom would be the kids that the popular kids hate.
What is this? This is almost some sort of conspiracy, almost to weed out the "less fortunate" folk who aren't as a rich, as beautiful, and as fake as some people are.
Now, I'm not talking about "popular" being "well-liked". I'm talking about people who put others down to make themselves look better. They are the people who are so unconfident that they have to insult others to feel better about themselves.
What's with this hierchy? This is ridiculous! This is just a way to separate ourselves. And even if we do separate ourselves, then we don't have to hate the other groups! We can still be individuals without thinking any other choice is terrible!
For those of us who see this and think that those people are wrong, that's only the first step. We need to actually stand up for what we think is right! Those who stay silent are doing as much damage as the offender. When we see something that needs to change, then we need to do something about it.
