play a melody that everyone knows.

okay kids, stop whatever u're doing now and think with me.

look back on your life. search on the portion that's labelled "friends".

right. now, look through. has it ever occured to you that not all your friends come by as you wish? you don't meet all your friends in the way you desire, do you? not everyone loves you for who you are at first sight, right?

i know first impressions count. but, i'm very sure first impressions don't really last.

no one enjoys being identified as an outcast, especially within a class. picture yourself in a classroom. u're sitting at your desk, doing your own work. and there, the rest of the class just sits behind you and gossip. people even place bets to confront you. why? cos they hate who you are. why? cos the first impressions that you've given were not impressive, at all.

fair? any sensible being will agree with me - it ain't fair. you guys didn't even give her a chance to get near you all. did you even try to know her a little bit more? maybe you did. you asked about her from some schoolmates. those schoolmates, as the name suggested, might not even know her that well and they decided to comment on her unnecessarily. fair? hell no.

it's just like why some foreigners and even locals dislike the smell of durians. yes, it may be smelly. thing is, you haven't even eaten it. how would you know it will taste good or bad?

90% of the people will agree with me that it's shallow to use first impressions to gauge a person's good or bad. 8% of them are those shallow people. the remaining 2% suffers from severe brain damage.

people may hate her. but we can't forget there are people who love her for who she is. yes, she swears. yes, she eats a lot. yes, she's mean. yes, she gives rude stares at people sometimes. yes, she laughs too loudly. yes, she's loud. yes, she may be tactless and blunt. some people just love her for all that. no one's perfect, believe me.

politics have never been fun. not to mention class politics. i don't see a need for that. i believe talking it out all at once works, maybe.

it reminds me of i how i used to tell shud that fern looks disgusting with her newly rebonded hair when i weren't that fond of fern in sec 2. now, we're best of friends. see what i mean?

perhaps, kids, you've got to learn to deal such cases in an adult's way.

oh, but wait, most kids are usually lack of that thing we call maturity. i really wish kids can grow up fast, mentally that is. it doesn't mean people who carry gucci handbags, wear designer's clothes, put on heavy makeup, and wear aldo heels are mature. oh yes they are, materialistically. but it may not be the case when we are talking about the mind.

you get me?

humans are weird beings at some times. they always look at the bad side of a person and never once care about the good. kill that human nature.
