You+Are+Beautiful



By:Jayla Jackson, Carly Taub, Melissa Shiner and Katie Rink

Intro: You are beautiful. We are beautiful. Everyone is unique in their own perfect way. Different colored skin, gender, views, and other qualities make people beautiful and perfect. It is hate that will demolish the individualism within, causing the beauty of diversity to fade. Human beings are 99% identical and we don't see the difference in the 1%. Be proud to live in your own skin because it is beautiful. SO REMEMBER, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!

LGBT Rights:

Anyone who is Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender, has or will be humiliated because of this quality. They are judged and the hardship becomes difficult to overcome. The bullying, the inability for people to except you, we cannot imagine what it is like to be in your shoes. The Federal Marriage Amendment states that, “marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution, nor the constitution of any State, shall be construed to require that marriage or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon any union other than the union of a man and a woman.” This amendment is an embarrassment to the United States government. Our government has judged people and has had narrow-mindedness towards someone who is “different” because of the love they share for another human being. As the future citizens of this country, we believe that this intolerance has to end. We believe that you have the right to marry who you love not matter if you are the same gender. As the coming leaders, we will fight for equality, because we don’t see how loving someone is punishable. How anyone can consider it a crime. The hate has to end, and remember you are beautiful and we love you just the way you are.

Take the pledge to support Gay Rights and equality. Also, if you are gay and need moral support through the bullying and intolerance, go to the following link and realize it gets better. Link: [|It Gets Better]

Women's Rights

I am a woman. I am proud. I can vote, protest, become employed in government positions, teach, sing, farm, love. I have and always will, live in a world full of humans, not men and women. I got to be this privileged through a serious of small acts. these acts allowed me to live a happy carefree life. If Alice Paul and Lucy Burns hadn't led a suffrage parade in 1913, I would be an insignificant girl. If Jeannette Rankin hadn't been elected into congress in 1917, I would just become a wife. If in 1878, the nineteenth amendment allowing women a completely equal right to vote, hadn't been passed, I would get slapped for having a political opinion. Every woman is just as important as every man. We are strong and independent! We can thank our mothers, grandmothers, and great- grandmothers for The rights we have, and the equality we feel. Women did not become equal to men overnight. It took determination and patience, but the pride is worth the price. Work hard, and the rest follows. When you have grandchildren, what will they be thanking you for? Stand up for a causing you believe in, whether it be gay rights, racial equality, women's rights, or something else. You can make a difference. What makes us beautiful, is what we all have to offer to the world and what we do with it. Be beautiful. You have a voice, use it.

Racial Equality

Why is the color of my skin such a problem for the world to except? Why can't people see me as a different person than from the person that has the same color skin as mine? Why can't the world see my inner qualities and personality as a blessing in diguise? Why can't the world see me as ME? I am beautiful and I am no different from the person that is standing next to me or riding the bus with me. The differences that I encounter with the people around me is our different ideas, beliefs, skills and qualities. Sometimes I wish the lights went out in the world so that the people could only rely on the content of other people's mind and heart. The bodies soul is what makes a person and dignifies what they are truly made of. The 14th Amendment says, "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws...". If the Supreme Court can realize every person in the United States and try to cater to their every needs with this amendment, why can't we? So don't judge any one because of their color, don't judge because of their parents, or even their culture but judge because of their heart, soul and mind. Life is what you make of it so live it with spirit in your heart.
