100930--social imbalance
Thursday, September 30, 2010 || 7:34 PM
It's unfair. My class is. Well, a particular group of people, at least.
During our P.E. class, we were going to play various games devised by different groups. Throughout the 4 games we played, I noticed something, and I'll be calling them, "This Group". This Group was somehow, well, inseparable. In a way that, they are willing to shoo a person away who's trying to get in their way. It's just them; This Group. At first, I had no idea about this, but during one of the games, my classmate approached me and whispered, "Alam mo, magkakawatak-watak ang klase natin dahil nina *insert name of a person here*."("You know what, our class will soon tear apart because of *insert name of a person here*.")
It was quite true. I don't want to mentioned names as much as possible, but this was one serious matter. I myself encountered a similar situation during my freshmen years, all caused by the same person causing this small mischief. I can't blame them for being that way, because I know that This Group has a formidable friendship, but they should at least learn how to hang out with different people once in a while.
Frankly, I don't belong with the "in-crowd" in class, and I'm not disappointed with that. But I'm happy with the people I hang out with; funny, witty and I don't even care if I'm the only girl in a group of boys. But that doesn't mean I'm a "one-of-the-boys". Just call me the "average-shy-type-at-first" kind of person.
So, from my point of view, this so-called "social injustice" in classrooms is REALLY unfair. Just because you're on the "upper level" doesn't mean you can just step on people's prides, talk nasty about them and go around like you're the boss. You can't just be in your own world and isolate the others. You can always welcome others, right? Nothing's bad with new friends, right?
All this crap is stressful. I need ice cream.
