Don't Judge a Book by its Cover (Appearance Blog)

Look at those kids with their buttoned shirts and their huge glasses and the way they walk with a small hunch and especially with their pants pulled all the way up, they must be as Alek would say “nerds”. Or look at those people, wearing all black clothes and have long boisterous hair, with their melancholy face expressions, they must be Emos. Or look at those guys and girls strutting around like they own the place, with their Hollister brand clothes and their puffed up chests and their phony smiles, they must be jocks and preppy kids. All of these assumptions based on first glances and appearances. At times appearances can be quite deceiving and can make us think twice about interacting with that certain person. We will never truly get to know a person just by looking at them, we must actually TALK to them and interact with them. WHAT TALK TO OTHERS OUTSIDE OF OUR “SOCIAL” BUBBLE!? As the saying goes, DON’T JUDGE A BOOK BY IT’S COVER. Another thing is that the way we “dress and groom ourselves sends messages about you to others and influences the way you and others act”  (For the Strength of Youth: Fulfilling Our Duty to God)  

           

We (I included as well) must STOP, giving a damn (it’s in the Bible) about what others think of our dress and appearance and express our selves. I am not saying to break the school dress and appearance standards, but we should wholesomely independently express ourselves. Our generation is too concerned with fitting in with the new trends, which most of the time are immodest, shear, and revealing. “We should not lower our dress and appearance standards. Doing so sends a message that [we] are using our body to get attention and approval and that modesty is important only when convenient” (For the Strength of Youth: Fulfilling Our Duty to God)

In America we are all given the freedom of expression and liberty to voice our opinions which are of substantial use. Every women and man has the agency endowed by their creator to choose whatever they may want, however we are not free to choose the consequences. Every person’s opinions are value in this great country of America and are taken into account.

Many people today date people only because they same economical status and if they are desirable in their eyes. I believe this is only lust and prejudices against other people who personal merits and honorable qualities are neglected because they are not rich enough or beautiful enough in the sight of others. We (I included) must learn not look upon the countenance of others and judge them outwardly, but to look to their contents of their hearts and see their good merits and qualities. However we judge others, by the same way we shall be judged.
