My philosophy on people was quite grim for quite a while. It has changed recently. I believe that people are judgemental, and uptight, when they are in high school because they are afraid to mess up because all their "friends" are judgemental and uptight. This causes them to become so sick of the facade they put on to the world that by the time they get to college they don't care enough to judge others, which makes them free because they can be themselves, and see others as new people that they want to meet...I love college by the way...sorry that my philosophy is so long

yea.
i like college too. In high school, everyone pretends to be something they are not just so they can please everyone else. The big thing about high school trying to fit in and have a much as friends as possible. College is so much different, it's no longer about popularity or having the most friends. The masks that people put on in high school are taken off, and the real person inside comes out. college rocks..

Well, that's one way to put it. But that's just how it is, they're afraid to grow up. Interesting concept.

Well, I'm not in college so I couldn't tell you that it is much different from high school, but i am in high school. And yes I have to agree...it's full of judgemental, cynical human beings that are hiding their true selfs. My biggest issue would just be that people are afraid to express individuality, it seems as if theres just too many clicks and not enough liberal, open-minded people. Good thought!

well i don't think that it is a lack of open-minded, liberal people so much as that all the open-minded, liberal people are pretty much made to feel as if they are wrong, so in order to get along they forget that expressing their opinions is the only way they should get respect

Well, I do agree that in High School, everyone is trying to be someone, usually someone they aren't, just to "fit in" with the popular crowd. Because the unpopular crowd in High School has to face many trials just for not being popular. It's all really ridiculous if you ask me, but as Kris, college is very different. In college, you are more accepted. Everyone is becoming an adult and growing and maturing. People don't worry about who's who or who's not who anymore, but who they are going to be. It's easier to co-exist with people in college than in regular public schools. That's my take on that portion. But people are very uptight and judgemental at times, but it's usually just human nature I suppose, or something like it. We all judge at times, but it doesn't mean we are hateful, but that we think, and observe, connecting what we see with what we know, and making assumptions from that.

that's true that we're all judgemental...i'll admit to being that way upon occasion, i try really hard to back myself up when i start making a cristism though, because i don't want to do it...sometimes the snap judgement just takes over!

I agree there are many uptight people in this world. I try not to be one of them however, sometimes it can pay off to be a little uptight. Being popular to me never meant selling yourself out. It meant being who you are. Having the courage to stand up for who you truly are is far more impressing than any designer clothes or fancy cars. Although these are very nice things to have many people cannot afford these types of things. However, holding on to what you really stand for is being far more popular than giving in to others. Thats just the way it is....

HHHHHMMMMmmmmmm.....
Well, I don't think anything has changed at all.
People are people.
They hate what they don't understand.
If your different they fear you. Why?
People still lie to themselves, to create there own little fantasy worlds... If you don't fit there image of a person, your cast from there minds and left to yourself.
This generation (my generation) is the Degeneration.
It becuase of liberals, and every other extremist for that matter, that has created american famillies as they are now. The media is pathetic. Vouyerism is at an extreme high, but we don't want the children to know what's right and wrong. Nope, it's better that a sexual preference gets rights. It's better that minorties get hand-outs. It's better that everyone bashes the man that has been put over you. Everyone conforms to there world and everyone still plays pretend. The game has just gotten more complicated.

no its not long. But it is also a stereotype. I had a problem in highschool because I was not judgemental, and I think I am more of a college girl. I lost all of my friends because I didn't want to be a part of their stupid cliques...but for the majority, I think you are right...the ones who are not, are few, and they are the ones who struggle through highschool social life, and totally bloom through college...or so I hope  |

I am not in college myself. I'm in 11th grade and I'll be the first to admit that I'm judgemental. And I hate that. So I agree with your theory in that aspect. But I don't agree that people in college are not judgemental. I think wherever you go, no matter how old anyone is, people will be judgemental.

its not necessarily that people in college aren't judgemental...it's that they are mature enough to know that allowing snap judgements aren't going to get them anywhere...being more in control of themselves, do to the increasing levels of maturity allows them to take a step back and give someone a second change to correct, or confirm, the judgement that was made

College people come to understand that through the years of growing up they're about to enter a whole new world. The world of adulthood is booming in thier faces and it scares them. The finally see and understand that they are not the top of the food chain anymore and thier are far bigger fish in the sea than themselves. I know because i've been there. I'm a rather large guy and I have a great deal of people that are frightened of me to this day. However, when I was younger there was only younger weaker kids t hat feared me because of what I could do to them. I hate that old life and now I see that thier are far bigger fish out there than me and in my world i'm supreme but in the real world, no one cares what my name is or how big I am or tough. Therefore, my whole outlook changed...why pick on people and make them hate you and respect you because of what you can do to them, when you can make them appreciate and respect you far more for what you can do for them. That was my revelation and that is my philosophy.
