By the way if you can't understand a word, then look in the glossary on page 15 and 16 of the book to see if there is a definition.

Hello reader. Yes you. Do you know what acceptance means? Do you know what different means?

Different is not the same as another or eachother, unlike in nature, form, or quality. Acceptance is harder to explain.

There are a lot of ways to be different:

-Race/Nationality- the color of someones skin or the different country the come from.

-Sexuality- liking a different gender or not at all.

-Gender- boy, girl, transgender, genderfluid

-Religion- catholic, christian, jewish, hindu, munk, greek, norse.

-Disability- deaf, blind, ADHD, amputee, autisum, schizophrena, multiple personality.

-what someone wears or what their job is.

-even someone age.

All of these, are people that are made fun of or hated. No one is truly accepted.

Acceptance- is being ok with anything that is presented.

It's not exactly common in our world to accept.

Accepting is a big part of today's world, especially how we can make fun of someone easily now with the technology we have today.

I'm not saying we shouldn't judge anyone or anything. No, I'm saying that we should be more careful about what we say and learn to accept something new into our lives. Think before you act, basically.

Speaking of act (pun intended), we should actually judge people on how someone acts towards others. It's just like, treat people the way you want to be treated.

For example: if someone is nice to you, you be nice back. But if someone is mean to you and being rude, you should recommend ignoring them. It angers them so they leave.

That might seem rude or odd to parents because they believe that kids should give respect, but not receive respect.

But should kids get respect? Yes because your age does not really define maturity or smartness or how should someone should act.

This is just how the world is. It's sad that this is the world we live in today.

I want to teach you that just because you see someone that looks different from you or who is doing something you don't approve for a job, doesn't mean you have to judge them right away.

For example:

-The old man with scars, he fought for your country.

-That girl that gets into fights, she protects her older judged brothers.

-That little boy who cries at school, he gets beat at home.

-The women that is in jail, tried to return the money to the families that lost their money to a company.
