Let us all lay down the differences, and take up our commonalities. We know that we as parents could have done a far better job… what else can I say? What is important now is to forgive each other.

The schools are bad enough. Instead of turning away from our classmates in fear of not being accepted, let us turn toward each other in comfort, understanding and truth.

I would like to tell you something that I learned in Communication class. It is a little complicated, but here goes.

In every conversation between two people there are really six. Sounds weird but stay with me on this one.

There is the person that you are, the person that you think you are and the person that you want the other person to think you are.

To make your school a happy place of higher learning, students should talk to the person that your class-mate wants you to think they are.

That is right, if we talk to the person that the other person wants us to think they are, that person will be able to keep their sense of dignity, their feelings of being accepted, unique and belonging. All of which are vital to to well-being.

If we all talked to the person that we want others to think that we are everything would change.  We want others to think highly of us so we put our best foot forward, right?  There would be no more humiliation and isolation.  We would all be helping each other to become the best that we could possibly be by holding the vision.

If you want to see it work try it.
