Looks can be deceiving

Many people judge others based on the way they look. Some say that what you look like on the outside reflects your personality but I have noticed that sometimes people look a certain way but are completely different. I too have judged people based on their appearance but I later realized that I was wrong in doing so. I've learned that you should get to know someone first to find out how they are instead of assuming something. Maybe the person who you think is weird because they dress weird can turn out to be a really good friend to you. I don't think you should stay away from someone or be mean to them because of the way they look. Teenagers in our times suffer a lot of stress because of looks. For most people it's really important how people judge them. They try to look a certain way to please others and to feel like they fit in. That's why we have to be careful what we say about people and be respectful of their feelings. You never know how someone will take your "inoffensive" comment, there are people who can be effected negatively. Don't be too quick to judge people and get to know them before assuming something based on their looks.
