humanity

yesterday i was sitting in class, the person next to me had a lisp and we were having a debat about world war one. as soon as the kid next to me starts his line of descussion the girl opposite me starts making fun of his lisp. making fun of him for something he cant control and was born with. what has happened to humanity? i cant understand how someone could purposly hurt another humans feelings like that. its like no one understands that the people around them arent just inanimate, they have feelings and opinions just like everyother person on this earth. i think america has become so caught up in apperence, so worried about how other people see them, that they forgot how to be human.
