Feelings

One day, when we walked into school, each student had a price of paper on their desk but nobody knew way it was for. Our teacher asked us to crumple up the paper as much as we could without ripping it. When everyone did as told, she asked us to then flatten it out as best as we could. The class was confused because she just asked us to crumple it. Everybody flattened it as best as they could. She taught us something and that the paper represented a persons feelings. When you hurt somebody feeling by not accepting them, or making them feel unwanted that like how we crumpled up the paper. So the moral was if you were to apologize they will still always be hurt inside. So after crumpling up the paper you could flatten it as much as you could but it will always be damaged and never be back to normal and fair again.

So next time you want to say something bad about someone or not make them feel welcome, think about how your making them feel and how they will always be scarred in their heart.

Raise Awareness

Lets all raise awareness together. You may be only one person but one person can still make a difference and affect the world. To raise awareness with us tweet using the hashtag #acceptanceisimportant. Tweet your thoughts question and ideas on other ways to help solve this problem! 

Lets help change the world, one step at a time! 

How Can You Make A Change

You may be one person but you can make a change. You can do something as simple as treating people better by making them feel welcome. Some people feel bad because they are upset and don't feel like they are different from the rest and don't belong. You can make the person feel happier by doing simple things like saying hi, complimenting, and making conversations.

Don't sit there wondering what you can do to make a change, do it!  

Pink Shirt Day

We have made this blog to raise awareness to accept others. People all over the world are getting judged in different ways and aren't getting accepted.

An example: "Sea Of Pink" aka Pink Shirt Day:

A grade 9 boy at Central Kings Rural High School in the small community of Cambridge wore a pink polo shirt on his first day of school. He got bullied for wearing a pink shirt and was threatened.
Two Grade 12 students, David Shepherd and Travis Price, heard the news about the grade 9 boy and decided to take action and help solve the problem. 

When we heard this story we agree with the grade 12 boys and feel it is unfair that people are treated this way. 

Please think about this post and help make a difference in the world today! :)

Spork

Accepetance is very important. In language, we read a book called Spork by Kyo Maclear. It is about a Spork who's mom is a spoon and and dad is a fork. But he's both. So Spork feels unaccepted because he isn't needed and is useless.  He is different from everyone else. So we are making this website to let people know acceptance is a problem and should be solved. We are trying to raise awareness. People are different but everyone should be accepted for who they are.
